I knew you would have nothing else to say but run to this.

Oya na

There is no one who hasn't brought down big teams.

Oya Let's name the big teams they have singlehandedly brought down!

For Messi; some are;

1. Man U 2009
2. Man U 2011
3. Arsenal 2010
4. Real Madrid countless times.
5. Bayern 2015

Name for Ronaldo.

First of all, "single handedly" only applies to 3 and 4. The 5 is nice but Neymar's goals in the first and return leg can be considered the major reason they won.
Those Man U games don't apply in any way. If we are to add game winning goals like the first, then to name Ronaldo's own go tire me.
The second no just even apply at all.
I'm expecting things like:
Ronaldo vs Spain (2018)
Ronaldo vs Bayern (2017) (Dominated them in both legs)
Ronaldo vs Atletico Madrid (about 4 different occasions, but pick anyone you feel is the best).

As you said, many people have brought down big teams...Ronaldo's own just seems to be more. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, I don't know. Like I said, it is subjective.
How far versatility? Nothing to say about that?

CR7 THE G.O.A.T

Beverlyjean:


Its actually puskas , then Ronaldo when it comes to goal ratio per game

He is even ahead of messi in laliga where they both played, funny people

Bomboiy:


Of course it is fact and not a lie but saying Ronaldo is a better goal-scorer than Messi is a big lie.

Saying it a big is fact too.
Please how do you measure a better goal scorer sir, ?

Bomboiy:


26 league goals the year he was the main creative player in the team, maybe I should remind you that he broke the record for the highest assist ever that Same season. Your point is dead on arrival.

And what exactly is your point? They've both had a chance to lead their various teams to a cup finals this year, one of them was shamelessly given a red card and send off the pitch and his team lost woefully. The other scored a beautiful goal to give his team the cup. A goal that not only made him the highest goal scorer ever, but also the greatness scorer ever. Should I start telling you about his prowess in cup finals. PUT SOME RESPECT ON THE NAME OF THE GOAT!

iJhoe:




the guy don't understand the twist & turn argument. his claims now is floored. 26 goals for Messi in a calendar year nah still record

When Ronaldo was his age he was scoring atleast 50. That's what I call consistency.

how many goals dis one get na...

I am lost here.

I don't know whether "singlehandely" to you guys means a hattrick or something!

However I gave more examples;

*Messi versus Real Madrid 2007.
*Messi versus Getafe 2005.
*Messi versus Real Madrid UCL 2011.
*Messi versus Arsenal 2010.
*Messi versus Levercuseen 2012.
*Messi versus Athletico 2011.
*Messi versus Bayern 2015.
*Messi versus Chelsea 2018.
*Messi versus Equador 2018.
*Messi versus USA 2016.

I could go on and on and on.

And there is nothing like Ronaldo does it more!
It's probably that Ronaldo's own "singlehandely" were more recent because Barca generally did well between 2009-2012 while Madrid did well 2014-2018.


When we talk about versatility what are we talking about?

Is it who can use head, chest, both feet, and use diiick to score?
Or
Is it who can score, pass, create, dribble, create chances.?


What exactly do you mean by versatility?

omonla10:
he is at best, on same scoring level to Messi, or even a step lower.. Check out their goals per game ratio to separate facts from emotions

See your life...Even in the face of glaring evidence..You still do this.

I will tell my children about the Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi and the debate between their fans all the time

GOAT king of GOALS

Bomboiy:



Ronaldo has played over 150 matches more than Messi. Messi has a better goal per game ratio.

Until Ronaldo scores 91 goals in a calendar year,until he wins the European golden boot six times then Messi remains the greatest goal-scorer ever.

Have some shame, penaldo fanboy.

don't mind Dem mumu fans...they don't seem to realize that Ronaldo has been playing years before messi

Did they tie Messis leg from playing more matches and chickening out of Country side?

Bomboiy:


Baba na common sense to know say na who play more matches supposed get more goals.

Whose fault is it? Let's go and blame FIFA

Bomboiy:


If Ronaldo is the greatest goal scorer then why do Messi have more golden boot? Has Ronaldo ever scored 91 goals in a year or anything close to that figure?


If you don't consider goal to game ratio then you are the one with warp logic here, maybe you are just being senstimental.

With his 91 goals in a year, he still hasn't overtaken Cr7

You killed it and the pleasant surprise is you are a lady.Hats off for your amazing punditry.

Beverlyjean:


Puskas has a better goal ratio than messi as well ...but messi has more goals...no one cares about ratio...its only u messi fans that keep up bringing rubbish to the table.....if its not assist, its shots on target or best play maker

Modified.... no one in this forum watched biscan play , only a few watched Maradona or pele.. van Basten ,cruyff, di stefano , puskas , but they were all remembered for the goals they scored and trophies won...no one knows about the assists they made or shots on target or number of players they dribbled...there's a French player that scored about 12 goals or so in a single world cup , he has the best goal per game ratio in a world Cup but never won an international trophy, no one remembers him compared to pele or Maradona or de Lima... posterity will eventually judge ....generations to come will here the name Christiano Ronaldo, the only soccer star to have a brand name( CR7 )... many decades later, people will hear about him and ask about him more in England , Spain, Italy and Portugal cos he broke records everywhere he played...messi will only b remembered in Spain and barca... no different from di stefano... di stefano is argentine just like Maradona...but argentines only worship Maradona... if Messi don't win any international trophy just like those greats mentioned, sorry to say , he will just end up like just a another excellent player during his days... kanu, okocha , yekini are still on ur lips , but the fans for the clubs they played for have started to forget them

Yeah the only footballer in La Liga history to have more goals than the number of matches played.

m140:

No Matter what you say, cr7 has more career goals than messi. I also know Ronaldo had highest goal per game ratio in laliga than any player that played in that league.

Senseless assertion

Oyinlomobambam:



For now, he’s the greatest...

Wait till Messi played 1040 games and surpass him before you say anything.

Admit he’s the greatest for now.

Leading in goals does not making someone the greatest.

Messi is a better goal scorer because he has a better goal ratio.
Messi leads the world in assist n dribbles.

Be the judge

Wow... Very impresive.

obembet:


760 - Cristiano Ronaldo
759 - Josef Bican
757 - Pele
743 - Romario

Put RESPECT on the name wherever you come across RONALDO!!! The true GOAT

Then puskas and bican are better than messi cos they had better goal ratio that him and messi can't beat him ...even oele had a better goal ratio compared the kessi when messi broke imhis record

Ronaldo has 760 Goals in 1100 Appearances with over 200 penalties.

Messi has 720 Goals in about 950 Appearances with less than 180 penalties.


Messi is a far better goal scorer than Ronaldo.

Ronaldo = 167
Messi = 128

You don’t even know correct stats, but to cap dey sweet you. You hear your fellow fans talk rubbish and you swallow it just like that.
Said “oVeR 200 pEnAlTiEs” so confidently as if you even knew what you were talking about.
Typical.

All time statistics.

Messi; 96 penalties, Ronaldo; 133 penalties.
Messi; 302 assists, Ronaldo; 222 assists.


Guy rest; Messi is superior to Ronaldo.

Guy rest!

Then puskas and bican are better than messi cos they had better goal ratio that him and messi can't beat him ...even oele had a better goal ratio compared the kessi when messi broke imhis record

Puskas and Bican do not have 6 ballon dors.

Puskas and Bican do not have multiple golden shoes.

Puskas and Bican do not have multiple league titles.

Beverlyjean:


Then puskas and bican are better than messi cos they had better goal ratio that him and messi can't beat him ...even oele had a better goal ratio compared the kessi when messi broke imhis record

whoever with a better goal ratio is a better goal scorer. Whether puskas or bican.
But goals are just one part of the game.

There is another stat called "assist" another one is goal contribution and yet another called " dribbling"

The list goes on. When u are perfect in all these then u are the best footballer.

You can't say someone that is good at only english is better than someone that is good in English, mathematics and science
