Atletico and Inter.Valencia and Napoli?

So because he went to Juventus that somehow proves he has something over Messi?
Curious logic.
No because he’s done in arguably the top 3 leagues in the world and at international level, messi has done it at Barcelona and that’s it meanwhile ronaldo looks like he will continue to play at the top level for a few more years yet messi won’t play as long as ronaldo at the top level.
Messi has scored the most vs top 6 EPL sides of players still playing iirc. He’ll prove himself in England this time next year at CityCould have been, CR7 has been
That's not fair. He scored in a draw with Hungary and a win over Wales at the Euros. Then he watched his team-mates win the final without him.whats Ronaldo done at international level that Messi hasn’t? Stand on the touchline and watch his pals win a final without him?
I was going to post the same thing.Messi is great. But he's done it at 1 club and flopped at international football. He should have pushed himself to see if he could do it out of his Catalan comfort zone.
Has he though (at least to any greater degree than Messi? He scored one goal more than Robbie Brady at the Euros.I was going to post the same thing.
In his homeland Messi isn’t all that because he hadn’t done it at international level.
People will say that Ronaldo has gone to clubs who were strong but still done it in different leagues and international level too.
455 league goals in 555 games across three different leagues.
102 international goals.
Stephane Guivarch won the World Cup and neither of them managed it.always makes me laugh when the messi fanboys try to downplay his euros win because he got injured in the final. apparently it only counts towards your trophy count if you score or assist the goal yourself. It would be a different story if higuain had scored that one on one in the world cup final mind you, that would have been messi’s crowing glory and no debate from them.
One team league.Going to a one-team league and pissing it is hardly the mark of the GOAT.
This.the 2nd Ronny has to 'work hard' to be where he is, Messi just gets outta bed in the morning for it.
You'd think from Ronaldo's fans he singlehandedly won the Euro's despite only scoring in games against the might of Wales and Hungary.always makes me laugh when the messi fanboys try to downplay his euros win because he got injured in the final. apparently it only counts towards your trophy count if you score or assist the goal yourself.

Euro 2004 not 1994.I seen a clip from Euro 94 and he was in the team v Greece so his cap count must be pretty high.
Bold font?? sorry
Why the focus on the euros?Has he though (at least to any greater degree than Messi? He scored one goal more than Robbie Brady at the Euros.
Nobody else has won it in a decade. (and they've not even got the excuse of their biggest rivals being kicked out the division)One team league.
I think it's proof that any team can fluke their way to an international trophy if anything. From memory they only 'won' a single game and it was against Wales in extra time.You'd think from Ronaldo's fans he singlehandedly won the Euro's despite only scoring in games against the might of Wales and Hungary.
Scoring against farmers, plumbers and teachers. Seriously, look at how his goals are spread for Portugal:Why the focus on the euros?
He’s scored 102 goals in 170 internationals. Important goals that got them in a position to win a major competition, through qualification etc.
Messi has 71 goals in 142 and won an Olympic gold medal.
Thats what i thought i put, i just watched the whole underdog thing about Greece.Euro 2004 not 1994.
Im guessing it’s been a while since you kept tabs on Seria A.One team league.
Aye, definitely wasnt a Portugal team that you watched and were particularly entertained by.I think it's proof that any team can fluke their way to an international trophy if anything. From memory they only 'won' a single game and it was against Wales in extra time.
Has someone else managed to win it since 2011?Im guessing it’s been a while since you kept tabs on Seria A.
Not really. His role in the goal against Croatia was a big factor. Boring debate now, always gets petty.You'd think from Ronaldo's fans he singlehandedly won the Euro's despite only scoring in games against the might of Wales and Hungary.
Didn’t lose a match either mind, helps in Tournament Football. Never won a tie on penalties either.Aye, definitely wasnt a Portugal team that you watched and were particularly entertained by.
Nae bother Spooge.Im guessing it’s been a while since you kept tabs on Seria A.
And Messi has only scored against the elite?Scoring against farmers, plumbers and teachers. Seriously, look at how his goals are spread for Portugal:
7 v lithuania, 7 v sweden, 6 v Andorra, 5 v Armenia, 5 v Latvia, 5 v Luxembourg
Absolutely, it does massively help. Certainly isn't a tournament win you can say Ronaldo carried Portugal to.Didn’t lose a match either mind, helps in Football.
Nope. Milan were the last team to do it in 2011. If CR7 got an injury next week and was out for the season Juve would still win that league.Has someone else managed to win it since 2011?
Not only against the elite but the majority of his goals have come against tougher oppositionAnd Messi has only scored against the elite?
Any player can only score against what is in front of them. A goal again Germany or against Latvia is still of the same value.
Not really. His role in the goal against Croatia was a big factor. Boring debate now, always gets petty.
Crucial part played deep in to extra time v Croatia for the goal, easy to watch again on YouTube if you never watched it at the time.Absolutely, it does massively help. Certainly isn't a tournament win you can say Ronaldo carried Portugal to.
That is a random journalist's thoughts.FourFourTwo magazine recently listed ‘The 50 greatest footballers of all time’ and only rated him 5th...
5. Ronaldo
4. Cruyff
3. Pele

Ecuador and Paraguay are giants of the game.Not only against the elite but the majority of his goals have come against tougher opposition
5 v Brazil
5 v Ecuador
5 v Paraguay
5 v Uruguay
That makes all the difference then.Crucial part played deep in to extra time v Croatia for the goal, easy to watch again on YouTube if you never watched it at the time.
Again he resorts to making things up, never changes.Yeah it was, he fluffed a golden chance from 6 yards out and was lucky it fell for a team mate, a moment of genius people will still be talking about in 20 years time
Desperate stuff right up there with “he motivated his team mates from the touchline and that made them win the final”.
Not only against the elite but the majority of his goals have come against tougher opposition

Given it meant they went through I would say it does yes. Didn’t fancy them at all on pens, looked shot to bits.That makes all the difference then.
In comparison to Andorra and Luxembourg? Positively goliath.Ecuador and Paraguay are giants of the game.
I'm sure if I had the inclination, I could probably pick several other moments you could credit as equally important in that game.Given it meant they went through I would say it does yes. Didn’t fancy them at all on pens, looked shot to bits.
So you ignore all of the GOAT'S goals against good teams?In comparison to Andorra and Luxembourg? Positively goliath.
Ecuador scudded Colombia 6-1 a few day ago
Have Andorra or Luxembourg even scored six goals in a calendar year?
