To all Messi fanboys can this be put to bed now? This is exactly why Messi will never be better then Ronaldo NEVER. Messi had a 3 goal load vs ROMA and let it go they were eliminated. Quit on his country. Never won a major trophy for his country. For all of Messi superior natural ability he simply is not and never will be the better PLAYER. NEVER. Ronaldo would NEVER let a 3 goal lead like that go its simply not in him. He would Never allow it that intangibles like the are exactly why Ronaldo is the greatest player of his generation BY FAR. This debate is over fellas im sorry. If Ronaldo wins the 3 peat then its even more so dead and buried. Please stop the ignorance. Ronaldo will go down in history as the better player Period and will be remembered as such.
Hold up. Is Messi to blame whenever they lose?
I'd say the difference between how this could happen to Barca and not Madrid is the fact that Madrid have a significantly better midfield and defence who just wouldn't allow it to happen. Modric, Kroos and Casemiro is so, so much better than the shite Barca have in there that it's unbelievable.
Or, you know, Barca collapsing and conceding 3 goals is entirely down to one guy who plays at the opposite end of the pitch.
"Please stop the ignorance" is an absolute fecking quality line. Alanis should have used that one back in the day.
