How is Ronaldo a better goalscorer when he only has 15 more goals than Messi, excluding the South African league, but have played around 12000 more minutes? Around 3 full seasons worth. Or is it the whole CL knockout thing?
The logic behind this argument so bizarre.
The only hard games are CL away games in the knockout stage apparently.
It was never about winning the World Cup with some for Messi.
To be fair, there's people in here downplaying Messi at the WC to prop up Ronaldo.
Honestly, using your analogy, if Ronaldo’s acolytes could admit that Ronaldo is going to Berkeley while Messi is going to Stanford, it would be aite.
How when Ronaldo is older anyway?
Why would it take anything away from him? It's still him, who did all those things with the ball.
He is just a footballer, he has no say in paying referees.
Referees where the ones giving him the freedom to dribble past players, doing amazing goals and creating plenty of chances for his teammates. It was like cocaine for Maradona.
Why would it make any difference to anyone with a modicum of sense?
It’s less on him than Barca and much more going to affect Pep’s legacy. If you think Pep’s two CL wins both came with 2 ridiculous referee performances (Chelsea and Arsenal knock out games) if they can link Ovrebo and Busacca for me it decimates what he’s achieved.
It's not like you couldn't see Pep's quality on the pitch.
Tbh many CL titles/victories had huge referee mistakes.
PSG knocked us out that season. A late David Luiz header equalized at Stamford Bridge.
Yes but they’re 100% of Pep’s CL wins. Something exacerbated by Bayern/City spending massively on him to deliver another so far without success and then Bayern winning one before and after he was there.
It won't affect Pep's legacy either. Why does everyone ignore the fact that Overebo sent off a Barca player in that Chelsea game? Make it make sense y'all.
Money can certainly buy happiness, but it cant buy anything quite like this. Spectacular stuff
What makes you say that?Is the Saudí League boosting the Ronaldo fans comeback to this thread, seriously???
According to Aguero, there is a 50% chance of him returning. Sources close to him also confirm his desire to return and end his european career at Barca. That's why he still didn't extend with PSG. But first, things need to happen:
Probably not, but i think his eying semi retirement very soon, by that i mean the mls or South Africa or whatever.
He will go to the MLS for sure. Said a couple times he likes it in there. He could create his own franchise ala Beckham.
I just dont know why some are desperate for him to keep going untillnhe's completely finished. He's declined very visibly(yes i know he's favourite for the next Ballon D'or). I just dont think its all that exciting to watch him anymore and i think Barca would be smart not to bring him back. I think Messi knows that if he wants to retire on a high it should be very soon, but i think its difficult to quit when everyone is begging you to never retire.
He's decliend on a physical level, yes. On the other hand, he is probably the most intelligent player there has ever been in football. If he gets a team that would run for him (like Argentina at the WC) and let him participate only in the offensive part he can be a hell of a playmaker and assiter for the strikers. He can play by walking. He sees things other players don't see, like the assist he made vs The Netherlands. If that's not exciting to watch, I don't know what it is. On top of that, he is still capable to score goals and keep the ball safe. I would certainly bring him to Manchester United to organize the team, letting the rest to do the hard work.
