Are you seriously saying Ronaldo is a better all round player than Messi? Old one to respond to, but I'm firmly in the Ronaldo camp over Messi and always have been. He has more to his overall game - i.e. heading, strength, power. Messi has never played in the worlds best division (Prem). For all we know he could have flopped with the pace and aggression. He's never tested himself against the best, so in my opinion he can't be considered the best. Ronaldo has dominated the top 3 leagues in Europe and still smashing in goals for a rubbish United team at 36.

Until i saw some of his goals in the last couple of months. Pretty impressive in front of goal. Mo Salah is probably now the best attacking player in the World ?

I used to think he was a bit of a diver, but he seems to do that less now. As for Ronaldo, it almost doesn't matter that he drops back less these days because he has saved Man Utd's blushes a few times this season and that's exactly what they're paying him (a huge bundle) to do. Mind you, he's up there with Wilf in the sulking department!
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

Of course he has - he's played in numerous Champions League and international tournaments and won best player at a World Cup. His record against English sides is 27 goals in 35 appearances, and that's only playing against the best the Prem has to offer who qualify for Europe. That's 15 more than any other player has scored against English sides in the Champions League, including Ronaldo, so I think we can be fairly sure he wouldn't flop.

Recent Ronaldo is a bit of a tricky one - he's a complete non-factor in games, and if anything is detrimental to his team in build-up, but he invariably finds a goal in nearly every game. He's a world class goalscorer, but not much else these days.

Ronaldo is a better all round player than Messi. Salah is better than them both right now. Next?

Let’s be honest. The only reason they both play on is money. They are both way past their best.

Edited by EverybodyDannsNow (25 Nov 2021 2.53pm) Still not a fair comparison to someone who has actually proven themselves in the league, the prem has never been technically the best but has always been the most intense, teams across Europe like bayern, psg, Madrid and barca can rest their squad just for games in Europe, prem teams can't, if Chelsea just turnt up at Norwich they would get beat, in previous years barca and Madrid would win most league games without comming out of 2nd gear. Messi is the greatest no 10 of all time but I don't see how you can call him a better footballer than Ronaldo, who has more attributes and you'll never see him just walking around looking lost on a pitch. 2 games that stand out are the 2 champions league games against roma and Liverpool, no leadership at all from messi. Ronaldo would do a job anywhere on the pitch, messi would get completely embarrassed playing CB.
