I don't like the hype around Messi, and that any other player who gets mentioned with him is immediately downgraded. Fact is, Ronaldo has outperformed him this season. He's scored more, crucial goals too, and his club currently stand to win more trophies this season. There's no shame in saying Messi has come off second best this season, he's still a phenomenal player.
ah I see, Ronaldo has had a better season than messi? lots of players have had a better season. Many players over the years have fantastic season but can they maintain that level throughout their career. Messi has delivered year on year not many players can make such a claim The is no hype around Messi the guy is a phenomenal player.
Absolutely. Ronaldo is the biggest flat-track bully in world football, always has been, always will be :dunno: Slice is a good man but he is dead wrong on this one. MTF
Which is what I just said. I don't deny Messi was well on top last season. It also can't be denied Ronaldo is currently having a better season. Let's be real here too, he isn't a one season wonder either he's been consistently brilliant over the years, just like Messi.
As I said to TKO, the stats back me up. He has scored against everybody. This whole thing about him going missing has been proven to be nonsense since 2008.
Look at the stats for Barca V Chelski ?? stats can be misleading.. Im sure you guys have played football growing up, remember that kid who would beat 4-5 players, had all the tricks and wouldnt pass the ball or if he did pass the ball 9/10 times it was a pretty awful pass... it was all about him that is Ronaldo. I dont care how often you score that does not make you a world beater, not in my book. I remember Jimmy Quinn banging in the goals back in the day, who knows a tight haircut and fake tan and Jimmy could have donned the white of Real ..
I think Messi has been better this season too than Ronaldo. Yes Ronaldo has scored more goals but Messi does help his team more and he is better all-around. And this doesn't downgrade ROnaldo either, both are already among the all-time greats, with Messi at top5 and Ronaldo being one of the greatest scorers ever
when you talk about all time IMO Ronaldo would do well to make top 10....messi is making a serious claim to be up there with Best,Maradonna,Pele et al
Ronaldo scored from a penalty. :: If Bayern grab a vital second, Ronaldo will do a Madeleine McCann on it. Probably get subbed.
Messi is in a better team. Messi is in perhaps the greatest team of all time. If he's helped his team more then surely they would be top of the league right now? :dunno: At the end of the day the table doesn't lie. I do agree though that they are both genuinely GREAT players.
Surely if you don't watch La Liga then you're missing about 85% of both players games, Nad aren't really in a position to argue too much??

Ronaldo is playing better in Spain than he ever did in England. But he was up to his old tricks now again tonight.
I don't follow any of the leagues like I did, I see enough to know who is the better player, however week in week out maybe the fake ronaldo is having a better season
