The only reason why I am mentioning Lithuania again and again is because you keep sneaking those goals in in order to boost his statistics. You post those numbers and know fully well that they're deceiving, dozens of posters have already told you so months ago. You're doing that on purpose because you want people to think he has done better than he actually has. It's the same with the 12 or 13 penalties he scored this season. You're not lying in the proper meaning of the word but you're deliberately leaving out details in order to influence the perception of him. And that's why this thread derails in regular intervals. Everyone is fine with you celebrating every goal of his and expressing your admiration but once stuff like this gets posted, people feel the urge to correct you and point out the context you gladly ignore. And rightly so.
What I hate is that this makes us appear as if we hold a grudge against him or something. Personally I want him to keep it up for as long as possible since he's a legend of the game and 30 years from now, I'll boast about how I've seen one of the all time greats play during his whole career. I want to see historic stuff happen as long as a I watch football, I'm already too old for pettiness. Still, it's incredibly hard to resist the urge of correcting you.
“sneak these goals in”
“Deceive”
Mate.....these goals happened! What are you lot on about? These goals literally happened, no one is just making up stats and adding goals to his tally. His OFFICIAL stats for this are 45 goals in 49 games.
No one is lying or “boosting his stats” Jesus mate you guys sound crazy. There is nothing to correct these are official stats and numbers that will be forever recorded in history long after he retires and we are all dead.
I don’t give a flying feck if it’s against Lithuania or a group of high schoolers, if it is an Official match recognized by UEFA or FIFA why the hell would you not count it? It’s not a friendly game they are official qualifying matches. Are we going to say the same for the goals Messi has against Venezuela or Bolivia? How about goals against Bate Borisov or APOEL? What about goals at a club World Cup against some random team from japan or Saudi Arabia? Is the difference in quality not the same from Barca or Madrid to clubs like those?
Goals and assists don’t just magically not count because YOU guys say they don’t. These are games that determine a teams involvement in the next major tournament, one that he won with his Country btw.
You guys need to seriously read what you guys write before you post.
So yes Ronaldo’s goal tally is 45 goals in 49 matches (so far) in 2019/20. Possibly might hit 50 goals in a season at the age of 35. All of this is actually happening, you don’t have to pinch yourself, you are fully awake and this is real life.
There is literally Zero and I mean Zero debate on that.
