Lionel Messi Defies Sir Alex Ferguson's Theory In The Messi Vs Ronaldo Debate by AImiron: 10:31am On Sep 05, 2023 |
Lionel Messi's consistent standout performances in the American continent are dispelling the reservations many people once had concerning the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner. This shift also includes legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson's perspective in the context of comparing Messi to Cristiano Ronaldo. As a result, Inter Miami have secured a spot in the CONCACAF Champions Cup by virtue of their qualification for the league's cup final, marking yet another groundbreaking achievement within the club's five-year history. Proving himself beyond the comforts of Barcelona was a feat some questioned whether Messi could accomplish, even including the esteemed Sir Alex Ferguson among the sceptics. Back then, Messi had solely represented one club, Barcelona, in La Liga. On the other hand, Ronaldo had an extensive history, playing for Sporting Lisbon in Portugal, Manchester United in England, Real Madrid in Spain, and Juventus in Italy. Ronaldo's remarkable journey encompassed not only various countries and clubs, but his exceptional performance in each league underscored his extraordinary skill and adaptability, demonstrating his prowess across diverse countries and competitions. Ferguson on Messi vs Ronaldo According to The Mirror, Ex-Manchester United's iconic manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, shared his thoughts in 2015 on the highly debated Messi vs Ronaldo topic, stating: "People say, 'Who is the best player in the world?' And plenty of people quite rightly say Messi - you can't dispute that opinion. But Ronaldo could play for Millwall, Queens Park Rangers, Doncaster Rovers… anyone, and score a hat-trick in a game. I'm not sure Messi could do it. Ronaldo's got two feet; he's quick, great in the air, he's brave - Messi's brave, of course. I think Messi's a Barcelona player." MESSI PROVES SIR ALEX FERGUSON WRONG The sheer numbers Messi has amassed since entering the league have shattered this notion. Leo Messsi has played 11 matches for Inter Miami, the Argentine has netted 11 goals and provided 5 assists. He also won league’s cup, he was the best player in the tournament and the first ever trophy for his new club. It should be noted that Inter Miami is worst team in the MLS before Messi joined them. Recently, they defeated the reigning champions of the MLS(LAFC) at home, the matched end 3-1. Its a great feeling that SAF is alive to eat his words, this old man is a glorified local champion. He managed one club throughout his career, yet he has a problem with a player playing solely for a club. What an hypocrite!! This is the same Messi that cost his team 2 UEFA champions league finals.

I don't know how you people view league, after him leaving his mama home Barcelona where thing is throw/given to him to PSG, what happened with all the big players there at end he can't find his feet. And was throw out and no body talked about his spell in PSG. Now he find him self in a league of people that doesn't know there gender, you'll think is eleven men against eleven men, but it's seven female and four male in a team. It's an insulting to compare CR7 to him. Ronaldo have conquer many countries so. I'm not fan of any, truth be told. Even the world cup is still under questions 206 Likes 20 Shares |

Akacollins7:Messi changed club for the first time in about 18years and you just expect him to hit the ground running in a dysfunctional club where he’s not even the man leading from the front. If you think Ronaldo will survive playing a supporting role to Mbappe in PSG, then you really don’t understand football as much as I thought. Messi who was literally operating from the wing & sometimes behind Mbappe in a team full of stars with egos clashing here and there, you think it will be easy at 34year? Ronaldo never played for a disorganized team like PSG. Ronaldo joined a Man U team that gave him all the support and as a teen, the guy had less pressure. He grew into the team with the help of senior players like Scholes, Giggs, Ferdinand and others. Not a team like PSG where you have to fight 2 egoistic players like Mbappe or Neymar to become the main man. If Ronaldo had joined Madrid when Zidane, Figo and R9 were all there, his case would have been like Beckham and Owen or do you think, Zidane, Figo and R9 will give him all the penalties and free kick? Or you de expect player like Zidane or Figo to always pass the ball like Ozil and Kroos to CR7? Na R9 go de pass ball to CR7 like Benzema and Rooney? He joined juventus as a star player. As a matter of fact, all the players were beneath his level. No one was close. He automatically became the main star. With his bloated ego, if he joined PSG, he would have clashed with Neymar and Mbappe more than once and that’s what Messi was trying to avoid and the circumstances upon which Messi left the Barcelona also affected him. Don’t you understand some factors may have affected Messi See the theories you have been creating is purely out of hatred. Logically speaking, a player that failed outside Barcelona cannot be putting up match winning performances and also winning MVP in most international tournaments he participated with Argentina or are you now calling Argentina national team, Barcelona? 145 Likes 18 Shares |

People will say is a sh*t league....bt ronaldo ended up in saudi arabia. Messi will perform at top level in any league. Looking at his age man is still performimg wonders in MLS lifting up a terrible team to win trophies and selling tickets. America superstars now flocking to a soccer match like is superbowl or a basketball game. The messi effect. Ronaldo is also a top player and on the same level as messi. But personally i think messi is better 54 Likes 8 Shares |
