MONKMAN Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 He's not, as Messi is the greatest to ever kick a ball. He's second though, as nobody has ever played at the standard these two do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one even comes close to them. Amazing as they were, I include Zidane and Maradona in that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyAffro Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I think folk are getting a wee bit carried away, its more the consistency that is amazing. Many have played to similar standards but not for as long. Maybe not as Messi but certainly Ronaldo. Messi is probably the best ever, Ronaldo just a great player up there with the other greats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTon Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 People have decided Messi is the best player because he scored 1 spectacular goal? Admittedly the goal was world class and absolutely genius but Ronaldo still leads the scoring chart and has done for the past 2 seasons. When Messi turns it on like he did against Bayern last week and produced that piece of magic there's undoubtedly no one better to watch. But the scoring tables don't lie, as it stands Ronaldo will get the golden boot and deservedly so. They are both unbelievable football players and have broken so many records. Most noticeably Messi scoring 95 goals in a calendar year & Ronaldo scoring 17 Champions League goals in 11 appearances. Both of those statistics when you think about it are surreal. Instead of arguing who's better after one of them scores a hat-trick or a world class goal I'm going to enjoy watching undoubtedly the two greatest ever to grace a football pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, I much prefer to watch messi as a personal choice as I think Ronaldos attitude to team mates and petulance is a real shame and slightly off putting. Messi comes across much more humble and much more of a team player. Both are ridiculously good, to be as good as they are so consistently is crazy. I would say Ronaldo is much more of a predator where as I think messi is more likely to win you a game with a total piece of magic out of nowhere. I just love the way messi plays more so, agile and brilliant dribbling at speed. For me, messi is the better all round player but id be being very picky to try seperate them as statistically theres literally nothing between then over the last 3/4 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means jackshit, Gerd Muller is never mentioned in the greatest ever yet he was a better goal scorer than either of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, he's scored one decent goal. Messis record overall is better than Ronaldos since he joined Madrid in both goals and assists I believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Obviously can't sniff at both of their records but Messi's ball through to Suarez for Neymar's first the other night sums up the kind of genius you get from him that isn't represented in goal/assist stats. They're both incredible players but Messi is GOAT IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
