Do you even know what hardwork is??...

I guess u always go to Ronaldo's instapage and see him gyming or Nursing his abs and u don't see things lyk dat on Messi's page...thats y u claim Messi doesn't apply as much drive as Ronaldo....

Listen, let me now clear u on dis

Look at Messi’s free-kicks when he was young, he wasn’t very good at them and didn’t attempt much of them. Now he is considered among the best free-kick takers in the world.

Look at Messi’s playmaking when he was young. Above average, sure, but far from being great at it. Now he is considered one of the best playmakers in the world.

Look at Messi’s penalties in the 2015/2016 season : 4/8 were converted, that is bad. Look at him in the 2016/2017 season : he scored 9/10 pens. I think that was the best record in Europe that season.
Do you see a pattern here ? When he has a weakness, he works on it and perfects it.

That takes a lot of hard work, but since it is all technical and not physical, people do not notice it. I want to highlight that word : TECHNICAL. He works very hard on his technique and it shows on the pitch....

I don't like to say this but.... y'all claiming Ronaldo is d greatest hardworker, but messi isn't shud think again ..

Is Ronaldo's freekick conversation rate suppose to b declining or improving??.... where's d hardwork in his practising 4 ova 3 seasons now

Is Ronaldo's dribbling supposed to be declining or improving??


Lets forget about Messi argument for now. I'm here for this Tapnaldo fan. Lol.

All time champions league highest scorer

I think he was the best player to have worn the number 7 shirt in the world ..

One of the best scorers in LA liga ..surpasses messi in that aspect

Gave real marid the glory they never had .. Hat trick champions league trophy .. Messi couldn't .

Second player to score most goals for his country , behind Ali dae with only 10 goals .

Has more champion league titles than messi

Attained recognition in a less popular club. Sporting lisbon

Played for Portugal even though he could have played for Brazil instead..

More of a leader on the pitch ...

He has the mentality of a complete footballer and definitely a legend






Agreed. That's what we've been saying since. Ronaldo is a great scorer, Messi is a great player.

Eey God of Mercy....u want to follow a barca fan of almost 20yrs to argue Messi's position. .I can't even argue this... it's pointless grin grin

But hear this.... Messi's favoured position in childhood was the playmaker behind two strikers, known as the enganche in Argentine football, but he began his career in Spain as a left-winger or left-sided forward....e swapped positions under different managers

Messi was LWF or RWF then SS or AM

Ronaldo was RMF or LMF before transitioning into LWF or RWF or SS or ST or CF

However in my personal all time team

Buffon

Dani Alves Nesta Beckenbauer Carlos

Makelele

Zidane Maradona

Messi Delima CR7

I put both of them as forward

He started as a SS and also favours the RW position, but, PEP gave him a free role irrespective of the position he is placed in the formation
Then under the succeeding managers, he started droping deep

Just imagine what Salah would do without Ramos havoc??
Put Salah in that 2008 Man United team, he would record even more records under Sir Ferguson!!

Salah had Karius and Lovren grin grin
Cristiano had Van Der Saar and Vidic cool

I don't want to compare Scholes (The man that Singlehandedly qualified Man United for the UCL final) with any player in 2018 Liverpool Midfield!!

Yet Salah dragged everyone on his own grin

Salah is better than 'step-over' Cristiano!!
Just accept and we can conclude on time!!

You can't claim to understand football and think anyone not even Ronaldo is better than Messi.
Check votes for Ballon d'or, most Messi votes are from coaches and captains while most Ronaldo votes are from journalist(people that doesn't know football)
Jokerman:
Lolssss grin

I have said this time without number...

We all know the conspiracy against Ronaldo, shebi that's why he was denied the 6th ballondor

However since Pele( �) goes with Cr7, his opinion carries more weight than any player on earth grin

"It is being nice playing for Madrid,. I think UCL should be named UEFA Cristiano League" said Cristiano after Bale won the Trophy!! � cool cool
