Paully Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Some ridiculous stats in there but I can't help but notice that every single one of those stats is either about goals or because of goals. Ridiculous pedantry, I know. To think he was a winger for his first four or five years as well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

summerof69 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Messi is the best of this generation without doubt, hard to say of all time though. Look at what Maradonna/ pele did, equally ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous pedantry, I know. Sounds pretentious but I don't care really, Messi does things with a football that are beyond stats (even though his stats are incredible). He's as close as you're going to get to legit art in football. He's the best to ever lace up a pair of boots. His passing is ridiculous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Absolutely agree. Another generation would look back at the comparison though and without doubt favour Ronaldo purely down to stats. We're blessed to see both, but while Ronaldo is super-human, Messi is just on another planet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Boy Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Messi is an artist and Ronaldo is a machine. If you were a team mate and rounded the keeper and rolled it in Messi would run back to the half way line and Ronaldo would steam in and boot it in and take the goal off you. We are truly blessed to have seen both of these wonderful players play. For the record I prefer Ronaldo as his intensity, belief and ability to transcend different leagues make him just slightly better in my book. That does not mean I do not appreciate the brilliance of Messi. It is possible to like them both! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I think Messi is better, there is very, very little between them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Thought Michael Cox made an interesting point on Totally Football Show this week, he thinks that attackers shouldn't be allowed in the 6 yard box for corners. Would need VAR to implement it properly I imagine but thought it was an interesting proposition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Absolutely agree. Another generation would look back at the comparison though and without doubt favour Ronaldo purely down to stats. We're blessed to see both, but while Ronaldo is super-human, Messi is just on another planet. Not sure about that, mind. Messi's stats are just different really and I think he'll end up surpassing a lot of Ronaldo's in the CL as well tbh, he's only 13 goals behind having played 35 fewer games and he's only 29 goals behind Ronaldo overall having played 150 fewer games. If Messi ends up playing as many games as Ronaldo has he'll surpass all of his goalscoring records quite comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A myth despite him regularly kicking off with teammates whenever they steal 'his' goals or they don't pass to him. 219 assists is incredible but in the context of Messi's 270 in 150 fewer appearances it backs up Boo Boy's point. No idea why there's even a comparison at all tbh, goal scoring aside it's laughable that to me that anyone sees him as being up there with Messi. And yet I can't help but talk about it.

triggs Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I think stats are pretty pointless anyway. If Messi got a career ending injury in 2013 he'd still be the GOAT in my mind. Just use your eyes. Ronnie is phenomenal mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
