Lionel Messi in an interview said he was sent to this world by the God of football to teach the world how to play football.

A few days later, Cristiano Ronaldo was asked how he felt about Messi's statement.

Ronaldo replied - "I can't remember sending him!"

LordAdam16:


Look at the nonsense you are saying on a public forum?

How did Barcelona win the treble in 2015?

Enrique switched style and made the game direct from Defense to Attack and bypassed the midfield unlike Guardiola that made everything about the midfield. Then Suarez was phenomenal. Totally deserved 2015 Ballon D'or instead of Messi.

Messi has for a long time played a free flowing role. Saying Messi is the backbone is an insult to Iniesta and Busquets.

And don't talk about classy teammates in Real Madrid. A team is a unit and the only two phenomenal units in recent Real Madrid's history were the Zidane galacticos and this 2014-present galacticos. The rest were just a bunch of expensive players running for 90 minutes without cohesion.

Even Zidane galacticos would have found it impossible to match Xavi's Barcelona. And that is the team that won Messi 4 of his 5 ballon d'ors.

So if you want to talk about anyone relying on players, it is Messi.

At least Messi knows now what Ronaldo was passing through in 2009-2012 when Ronaldo scored most of Real Madrid's goals and made lots of assists and it wasn't enough to rattle a Barcelona team that words could not describe.

If Messi was the overrated player you guys make him up to be, he wouldn't finish with only a copa del rey. He'd have single-handedly routed Juventus. He'd take the challenge and prove that Xavi+Iniesta+Busquets wasn't the reason for his earlier success.

Or do you think Messi wouldn't prefer to go back to 2012, play as a forward and score 90 plus goals in a season? Why is Messi furious that Barcelona didn't sign Bernando Silva? Mk e dribble score in every match and prove his mettle now?

When Messi relies on players, it is being smart. When Ronaldo relies on players, it is sign of inferiority. You lots can make as many excuses as you like. CR7 would keep dropping the numbers that make history.

Decades from now, people would remember CR7 brace vs Juventus more than they'd remember LM10 trademark dribble to score vs Alaves. That's how legends roll. Tesla was a genius, but Einstein is the legend.

Just reading your first two lines affirms my earlier submission that you know absolutely nothing about football.. I am done quoting you tho.

lol, even Donald Trump recognizes the power of God! No matter u wanna say bro, there's divine power greater than us and it controls everything we do here on earth. You can choose to call that greater power anything u like....Alber Einstein, Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, Napoleon Hills, Rockerfella, just name them....they all recognized the existence of higher power and authority, bro who are you not to

What is happening to Nigeria's leadership currently is more spiritual than physical, can u explain it

Please in all u do, fear God even if u are a sinner, don't be proud in your sin or say there is no God because there is God, and He decides our future whether u agree or not, enjoy your Sunday bro

Appealing to authority is a proof of non-conviction,
who cares about what Trump believes when he has
already achieved his life's aims using his brain.
You are handed a toy to play with while the world
moves at a fast pace.

What do you mean by sin ? hope you are not trying to
claim holiness ?

Just mention one positive thing you do that makes you different
from someone who don't believe in your fantasy ?

Misterdhee1:

Lol.. You are very funny o. But the same Messi has consistently been Barça's highest goal scorer, since both Suarez and Neymar have been around.

He could have done better

Secrets11:
So because CR7 won last night he has suddenly become better than Messi? We all. Watched both guys go head-to-head in their last El Classico and please remind me who came out tops? Messi of course dismantled real Madrid while CR7 was no where to be found. Juventus wasn't an opposition that could trouble Madrid so my brother no even compare both guys because Messi is the best amongst the two guys

Wrong argument!
Where was messi the day juventus distroyed barca 3-0?

LordAdam16:


Don't compare Cruyff and Messi at all.

Don't ever make that mistake in your life. Cruyff has no equal. Cruyff doesn't score as many goals nor does he dribble as much, but his intelligence is what makes him a legend. Pele, Maradonna, Messi, Ronaldinho play football with their feet, Cryuff plays with his head.

Comparing Van Basten to CR7 is heresy. Van Basten is in Henry, Figo, Raul, Totti's league. And this league is below the league of Di Stefano, Zidane, El Fenomeno (R9) etc...

CR7 is creating a league of his own. Before he came on the scene, everyone thought what it took to be a GOAT was flair, a respectable number of goals and an international trophy. Every player was judged by that metric. CR7 started out with flair, a respectable number of goals, and almost had his first international trophy in 2004 before he had even matured.

Then he revamped the rules.

What you need to be a GOAT now is to be a decider and results-getter, be at the top level for an insane amount of time, and break records like a broomstick.

-Lord

"Don't ever make that mistake in your life" Na investment? Lol. Relax on this issue. Van Basten was above those players you likened him to. I can see you are a die-hard fan of CR but there is more to this team than Ronaldo. This victory is due to brilliant performance in all departments and CR7 being their focal point in the box.
If you single him out as the best of all time because of this then that is your opinion. About Messi? I will talk about him when he has a great season with his teammates.

I don't think ur in ur right senses ....u just de type epistles wey b trash here since ....messi didn't deserve d golden ball?u could HV just said ronaldo deserved it....ur comments sha are filled up with sentiments.... Na dis kind tons de mk me hate football a times...na so u say basten win euro no big deal....Villa won two euros Nd 1Wc is he better Dan ronaldo?.... U de compare van basten Nd henry...abeg go eat food mk e no b say na hunger de do u dis tin......pele wasn't close to being a better dribbler dan messi not even close....d only individuals close are garrincha,maradona,George best...BT d difference is messi has been doing it for years!!!!!

Just reading your first two lines affirms my earlier submission that you know absolutely nothing about football.. I am done quoting you tho.

And you that know everything would be arguing about Messi scoring more than Ronaldo this season whilst Ronaldo missed 14 games, whereas when Xavi+Iniesta+Busquets were still in vogue, there were seasons where Ronaldo outscored Messi.

In the face of superior argument, all you Messi fans do is cower off. Run along now.

Next season if Barcelona wins the Champions League and Messi wins the Ballon D'Or, you can come here to start taunting CR7. Until then, go back to your cocoon and ask your hero why he blew a 4-1 Ballon D'Or lead when he is supposedly better than CR7.

Overrated player and overrated fans.

D guy know ntn.....not even shit abt football.... Jezz am still surprised. ...see ur nonsense analysis ...messi had 57 gold DAT season Nd u say u didn't deserve wat?Suarez just started in December against real Madrid ....guy u de fall my hands for here oh.....to even compare van basten to henry Nd totti

Every player needs a good team to perform.

But when Messi performs with a good team, somehow the results are because of him and when CR7 performs, the results are because of his team.

It is a silly double standard argument that has to end.

As far as Van Basten is concerned, bring facts that he is miles better than those players, and you would have a discussion. Making blanket statements without fact is worse than ignorance.

LOL

Bobby808:
One of the best analysis. Ronaldo will not score without anyplay passong ball to him. Messi can score because of his multuple skills. Ronaldo is just a lucky player because all his team mate cooperaye with him and passes ball to him. By the time one or two player refuse passing ball to him

That's is the reason we call it football with 11players.

Ideye is better than both

thunderbabs:
Credit to the Real Madrid team who work alot to make the job simpler for their striker, Ronaldo.....All credits shld be given to the team, though one cannot overlook Ronaldo's fierceness in front of goal....he is good.

Likewise, all credit to Lionel Messi who in most cases, and singlehandedly can mesmerize even his own teammates by delivering when he can...Messi is gifted.

To op, who started dz messi ronaldo tin, na Juve- Madrid play final ooo, not Barca Madrid....mischief maker

don't forget that cr7 has been able to replicate his superb form for 2 teams(many and real) let messi leave barca we will c if he can replicate his perfect form.

Small minds! Each time Real Madrid wins anything, the next thing you'd hear is that C. Ronaldo is better than Messi. BS upon BS! And surprisingly when Messi wins, you never hear this silly comparison with the FAKE Ronaldo; rather you'll be debating whether he's the best ever! That tells you everything you need to know.

FACT: C. Ronaldo is just chasing Messi's shadows. It took him two years to catch up with Messi on the UCL titles. And next year, it would take him another 4 years to catch up with Messi on Ballon d'Or wins. The fact is, C. Ronaldo cannot contribute up to 50% of what Messi does. Football is more than goal scoring. If you really wanna compare Cristiano with Messi then let's compare the whole picture: the number of assists, tackles, completed passes, completed dribbles, etc etc.

It's not even close!

O pari

Phi001:

Messi has better statistics than Ronaldo...all the while Barca were winning, you didn't bring up this argument but Ronaldo wins CL and he's suddenly the best player...

football is all about winning trophies, fantastic stats without trophies to show is irrelevant.

Messi an overrated player? Ur sentiment is second to non.

tolexy123:
He could have done better

Ronaldo wouldn't have done up to that if he had both in his side.

ernieboy:

Lol.. But the messi in question has won more trophies than most madrid players combined.

ernieboy:

football is all about winning trophies, fantastic stats without trophies to show is irrelevant.

I wouldn't have mentioned it but Messi has more trophies(30), well, 31 if you include his Olympics medal, compared to Ronaldo's 24...


So, better stats and more trophies. You were saying?

teamsynergy:

so u agree messi also needs better players around him to flourish??. football is a team work thing not for lone wolves...

are u insinuating that messi does not have good players around him? mention any player in the Portuguese national ten that does not have equally or even probably better counterpart in the Argentine national team.

I love ronaldo Nd messi BT my guy u must b mad to say a player like messi Is overated....if messi is overrated ...football no exist b DAT.
