Don't you think the 4 year age gap between the two you are comparing matters? Especially when they are at the wrong side of 30s? 4 years ago Ronaldo was still helping Real win UCLs.
Then Ajax that season yes as they’re were one of the best teams in the CL that season.Are Juventus also "significantly worse" than Ajax, Lyon and Porto?
Sarri isn't that bad, he just plays incredibly dire football. But he grinds out results. Pirlo is just massively out of his depth. They really sacked Sarri without any contemplation about who should replace him. A fatal mistake for Juventus.
Yup. Called this. Should have come back to United and scored all the dozens and dozens of missed chances Martial and Rashford have had this season.
But you surely see my point, no?
I do 100%. Thats why I said Lewa is the better player now not then. Simple really 2020/21 Lewa > CR7, every season before 19/20 CR7 >> Lewa. I mean its pretty much exactly what I typed, age comes for everyone. We're not dealing with Ronnie from 4 years ago though, we're dealing with a poster saying current Ronnie would outscore Lewa if he was at Bayern and while its not out of the realms of possibility it is very unlikely given what we've seen from both over the last 18-24 months. There is no doubt even a 33 year old Ronaldo is the far superior player to current Lewa. One would have to be mental to argue otherwise.
Oh, I wasn't following the initial posts. Nvm
The guy was talking all-time. He said Ronaldo was no more than 9-10th so I just wanted to see his all-time top 10 ranking. But yeah, I generally agree.
It doesn’t make sense to rely on 36 year old player to win CL for them. PSG has spent much more on Neymar and Mbappe etc, they still couldn’t win it.
Well yes, I'd imagine that PSG would say that it's a massive disappointment since that was what the Mbappe/Neymar transfers were all about.
Well there’s no single player you can bought to guarantee CL trophy throughout history of mankind, not even peak Maradona or Messi or L.Ronaldo can do it, why expected on 36 year old Ronaldo to do it for Juventus? It’s unrealistic expectation. I mean, do anyone really expect Juventus to win CL? There obviously lots of other issues in their team which need to ge fixed. Speaking of that, they surely spent a lot on Ronaldo, but there is surely benefits on commercial side.
signing griezman and Coutinho had nothing to do with Messi, it was an incompetent board
Clutch.
Siiiuuu
Fair enough for being real. I love Ronaldo too and he did almost drag them over the line against Lyon last year, but regardless of the players around him, he was shocking last night. At this present moment, he is simply not as good as Haaland, just as Messi is not as good as Mbappe.
"Assist". He was the worst Juvrntus player over the two legs and simply touched a ball that Chiesa struck into the top corner (1 of his 3 goals during his knockout tie compared to Ronaldo's....zero).
He was not good but come on. If it was against Bayern I would understand putting your hopes on the "star" player, but against Porto, conceding 4 and playing like that, it's on the manager all day long.
Exactly.
He's still bagged himself a nice amount of goals and some much needed league titles.
He will score at anywhere anyways. Winning only 2 league titles in 3 years is not bad but not that good. Should he stay at Real he would have won 1 or 2 league title, and score similar amount of goals too, or more. I always thought Juventus as a team does not match his style. Their slow possession football is boring and too defensive mind. There’s nothing exciting about their attack play at all, there’s lack of crossing and creative pass to pick up his run, although he has been slower too due to his age.
Erm what? Why would you put all your hopes on a star player against a vastly superior team in all areas of the pitch?
PSG isn't taking Ronaldo at 36 with Neymar and Mpbappe there unless Ronaldo takes a hefty wage cut.
This whole thing with Messi or Ronaldo getting knocked out of the CL is stupid, rather than Barcelona and Juventus getting knocked out. At the end of the day it's a 11 vs 11 team sport. It takes more than 1 player performing to consistently win the thing.while it is true he was horrible yesterday, but what's up with everytime Messi/CR7 lose a match, people bumping their threads and calling them finished/waste of money
If PSG can’t afford him, no one else can.
hope you use this same reason when Barca let in all those goals in CL
Hopefully messi doesnt stay at Barcelona now that he has a new worker for him on the board. I'd love to see him at City and see how he plays against tough defences from Burnley to Liverpool's pre injury defences. When you see Kounde running through the opposition defence it says alot about the La Liga defences just as much as the ability to attack.
