LordAdam16:Google the honours and awards of Van Basten. 3 consecutive ballon d'or trumped any awards you can think of posessed by the other guys. I don't want to argue with you. All I know is Morata will do just what CR has done in this team if given the same opportunity. You don't have to dilate the legendary status of CR. His career is great, yes. But he is not responsible for the greatness of this Madrid team. Zizou is. I will still remain mute about Messi until he has a great success with his teammates. |

Ronaldo is a great footballer, on his day he is a world beater but mehn Messi has got to be to most talented footballer to have ever played the game of football. Both are great but I will rather have Messi and the Brazilian Ronaldo anytime any day 2 Likes |

Icon79: You know sometimes, humans should talk becz they have meaningful things to say, not just to mark presence...how dare you say football is more than goal scoring??, did realmadrid win the champions league by smiling or passing the ball around??..or did portugal win euros by pity??....they scored goals and goals are a major part of football.. .the main purpose of football is to score goals You said by next year it will take 4 years to catch up with messi on balon d'or wins, you need to collect change from your secondary schl..cz your maths teacher no do you well...its now 4-5 with ronaldo favorite to get the next one... On your assists and dribbling comparisons...pls watch ronaldo at manutd and his early madrid life.. even now, check his assists on squawka and stop being a zombie...he contributes far more than you know..only God knows whether you have been watching football on screen or your remote.. Leave...the catching up to...he has caught up now on balon d'or...let messi win something for his country by defying the odds....let him inspire his mates to win and not chicken out after losing...until then ronaldo might not be better in football skills..but he is greater 1 Like |

Rapahel1116: You were the one who started inflating the prowess of Van Basten, because he won 3 ballon d'ors. Then when I started asking why he deserved those ballon d'ors you started fuming, rather than answer my question. If na by number of ballon d'ors, no one would be talking about Pele, Maradonna and Cryuff, Na CR7 and LM10 go dey drag GOAT and the others would be struggling for no 3 on the football legends list. Henry and Totti won the world cup as influential members of their squads (Totti was the highest assist leader in the 2006 world cup), Basten didn't. Henry won the Euros and Champions league. If Totti didn't have that embarrassing loyalty to Roma, he'd have achieved more. His gameplay was extra-terrestrial. So, if you want to tell me that Basten is better simply because he didn't have a tough competition, then you are typing out loads of crap. And I didn't say Messi did not deserve the Ballon D'Or in 2015. I said Suarez deserved instead of Messi (because Ballon D'or is for a calendar year, and in the later part of 2015 (first half of 15/16 season), Suarez was amazing). The winner had to be from Barcelona, they won the treble for crying out loud. And to seal up your ignorance, you put Maradona and George Best in the same sentence. Who does that? How can you say Pele was not a better dribbler than Messi? Do you know what dribbling is? Stick the ball to your leg and run past players. Pele didn't do it as good as Garrincha or Heleno, but he was better than Messi. Watch the clips. The person that shouldn't even be coming up is Maradona, his wasn't as smooth as Pele and Messi, and he sure as hell wasn't as consistent as the latter two. So when you say Maradona is ahead of Pele in dribbling, I know you are talking out of your backside. Maradona is up there is the legend list because he shone in really big stages and could carry teams where there weren't many world class players, whether it was the Argentinian national team or Napoli. It doesn't make his dribbling superb. Garrincha's issue was his abrupt end. He didn't have the longevity that Pele had. But if you are talking about pure talent for dribbling, Garrincha was miles ahead of Pele, Maradona, Messi et cetera. That you can watch Messi now does not make him the greatest ever dribbler. I watched Messi destroy Nigeria in U-20 (when Mikel was the second best of the tournament) and the Olympics. Whether it is because of the opposition, I'd never know. But that Messi if he played in recent main international competitions would have seized the initiative to have won at least one international trophy whether he was playing with waste pipes or not. That is what make players legends. I still think he has it in him. Copa America is played every two years. He still has two more world cups when he'd still be playing at the top level. So for your sakes, I hope he does cement his name in the history books in the coming years and make the CR7/LM10 duo dispatch the Pele/Maradona duo (with their disgusting rivalry) from the top. -Lord 1 Like |

lodphil: He is overrated by his fans. Whether you accept it or not doesn't even bother me. He is a legend, but most LM10 fans say he is the GOAT simply because he had a terrific 4 year spell with the best club team of the last two decades. That is being overrated. You guys say he was carrying the team. Now that Xavi is no longer there, the team is struggling. Nai b say if Iniesta and Busquets comot, una no go dey top 3 for la liga. That is what overrated means. You guys downplay other players contributions and inflate LM10's contributions. When the fact is that LM10 didn't have to play for Barca to win those trophies, as the Spanish team won trophies with same style but without LM10. Now, tell me how is it that you guys do not overrate him? -Lord |

Nah... Messi is a far better footballer than Ronaldo. However Madrid has a stronger squad than Barcelona at the moment, so it may not be easy for untrained eyes to notice. One is just an athlete that scores an incredible amount of goals; the other is a playmaker that splits defences for his teammates to score (or squander) and still has time to score as many goals as (and at times more than) the guy who simply lurks around the net waiting for passes to tap in. You can compare the success of their careers, their wealth, their social media popularity, but never ask who the better footballer is. Everyone knows who, and some like to dismiss it as natural talent without hardwork. 2 Likes |

Rapahel1116: U don't love CR7 guy. You guys are the ones overrating Messi. If I gave a nickel every time I read a comment from LM10 fans overplaying Messi's achievements and gameplaying ability, I'd be broke for eternity. I remember in his peak, when Barcelona didn't need to have a world-class goalkeeper, because of how good the team was. You guys did well to make a big deal of his achievements. But what you guys have been doing for the last 5 years is shameful, overrating what Messi does and his impact. You can't keep calling a player better because of achievements he had 5 years ago, ignore his underachievements in recent time, then the worst part downplay the achievements of the dominant player of the last 5 years ago. It is wrong on all fronts. That's overrating. Whether you like to hear it or not. -Lord |

humilitypays: Ronaldo cannot dribble, and do leg-over? He also cannot skip? Guy, go and watc him during his days in man u before you make claims that are just not true. Ronaldo was a dribbler while Rooney was a scorer. At that time, Rooney was rated higher than Ronaldo because he scored goals. Soon after, Ronaldo realized tat in football, goals are all that matters, and so in 2006/07 season after the world cup in Germany, he revolutionized his game and started scoring more than he dribbled. The result, thhe personal and team awards he has gathered since then. |

LordAdam16:How is he overrated when he has more goals to match ratio and also more assists than Ronaldo in his carrier,even though his younger, and may probably outscore ronaldo b4 he retires. Saying barca would ve been that dominant without messi's efforts is quite outrageous. How many games does a national team play in a year compare to a club side such as Barcelona? |

Mexico09: Barcelona fans,stop deceiving yourself,see your honest colleague above stating the obvious. Ronaldo is batter than Messi,period. He has proved himself over and over again in different competitions,in different leagues and on different stages both at club and national level. Whereas the ONLY place Messi shines is with Barcelona in Spain,I wonder what will happen to him,if he were to play in another league,he will surely wane into a little obscurity |

Oluwaremythe: We are saying the same thing, I love his game when he was young... Check your second to the last paragraph, he stopped all this 4 years ago and chase only goals, that's 28 years old.... Maybe you don't just get my message tho, I am not bias here, you know Ronaldo is no team player. He only change maybe this season because he can also read and hear what people says about him, you know how selfish he his just to score goal and sometimes get angry when his mate scores. |
