How do you think his ego will cope as he declines?
Hes lost yards of pace, he cant score blooters like he used to, he can barely score tap ins these days. Maybe he has been a system babby all along. Played in a stacked Utd team, and a stacked Madrid team.
He's just on a slump. Come the return of the champion's league, he'll wreak havoc again.
Brandon Bennett
Does he seriously take off his shirt after every goal?
Jonathan Diaz
Usually when he scores the 6th goal in a 6-1 victory and its his only goal of the game

here's a fun story >Messi takes off his shirt after he scores the winner in stoppage time against Madrid at the Bernabeu, celebrating his 500th goal for Barcelona (gets a yellow but that hardly matters that late in the match) >4 months later, Ronaldo is still butthurt and his ego is damaged >Ronaldo scores a goal against Barcelona 60 mins in the super cup, immediately takes off his shirt like Messi did >Ronado gets a yellow for it, and gets sent off a few minutes later with another yellow for diving >Ronaldo gets mad and shoves the referee, leading to a 5 match ban >With no good striker in their squad, Real Madrid suffer in those matches and they draw twice (one of them to a literallywho team), making them 4 points behind Barcelona from the very beginning of the league >Everything goes downhill from there and their morale drops, their pre-season form is gone >Ronaldo returns from suspension in the worst form of his career and has still hasn't recovered from the psychological damage
>Ronaldo childishly taking off his shirt to get back at Messi singlehandedly led to the downfall of Real Madrid

Cristiano is a product of his team creating everything for him and feeding him every little opportunity, of which he's scored maybe one in 6 balls that were given to him on a silver platter. He's the ultimate system babby, a system so deluded that he managed to convince an entire half of the world who don't have regular cable or internet for the better part of the 2000's that he was in the same league as players like Iniesta, Messi, Neymar, and even Forlan or Rooney

I think Ronnie is humble enough to know that his time is coming up. He's been a hard worker ever since and he'll know when to call it quits.
>Maybe he has been a system babby all along
If you put Ronnie into any team, he'll score buckets as per usual. Don't agree that we were "very" stacked, I mean we had Park, O'Shea etc only because of SAF that we're that good as a team.
It's Messi who's never played for a team outside of Barca.
yeah those are stacked teams, what kind of a delusional negro doesnt think they are?
i mean van der sar and prime rooney in same team how is that not stacked?

>stacked teams
Name one player that has won Ballon d'Or other than Michael Owen in the past twenty five years that wasn't on a "stacked" team.
>same league as players like Iniesta, Messi, Neymar, and even Forlan or Rooney
Forlan couldn't cut it in the Premier League and was a giant flop in Italy. Rooney had two good years post Ronaldo. This is revisionist history at it's finest.
Messi, for nearly his entire peak has/had
Puyol Pique Alves Busquets Xavi Iniesta
All of whom were either the very best of their position or at the very least top three, with three of them being able to stake a claim as GOAT of their position (Busquets, Xavi, and Alves)
Then once most of them hurt their decline, they were replaced with the greatest front three the sport has ever seen with Suarez and Neymar. Messi also got to play under Pep for nearly his entire career, and Ronaldo has a new manager almost every year, and only two of them attempted to play any sort of brand of attacking football (Pellegrini and Ancelotti), one really has no idea what he's doing (Zidane) and the other two are some of the most notorious defensive managers in the sport (Rafa and Mourinho). People also forget that for a good portion of his early career he was played as a bog standard right midfield whose entire job was to run down the wing and cross.
Nolan Collins
He'll cope fine. He's getting old and it's starting to show. He knows it, everyone knows it. HE still has some gas in the tank but Zidane's insistence on playing a 4-4-2 isn't helping him or the team in any way.

at some point Sup Forums was saying he used a brazilian proxy as well. basically they can't accept that not everyone is blind enough to think Messi is the GOAT. There's an uruguayan who regularly talks shit about messi too, I wonder how long it'll take until he's associated with the romanian

Pelé and Maradona were from a different era. Maradona not that much, but still. R9's peak ended too early, he was never the same after his knee injury. On the other hand, Tsunaldo has rivaled Messi for many years and like it or not they're on similar levels even if they're different kind of players. However, Tsu has one advantage over Messi: he isn't as much of a choker. He even won an Eurocup with a NT far worse than Argentina while Messi somehow let 3 finals slip away. I'm sorry, my white friend. You may think it's unfair for Messi to compare him with Tsunaldo but it's in fact quite the opposite.
Jaxon Adams
Statistically they aren't even close. Ronaldo has played 100 more games than Messi. Ronaldo is one of the best centre forwards ever, still behind Gerd Muller tho, but that's about it.
Bentley Parker
>However, Tsu has one advantage over Messi: he isn't as much of a choker. OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO Marcelo

The Messi-Ronaldo comparison is a complete joke. Anyone who has been watching football for at least 15 years knows that Messi is like 2 tiers higher than him in almost everything.
Nolan Turner
Yeah Ronaldo won a Euro he didn't play in
Camden Moore

Who cares about stats, dude. Tsunaldo's goals win you titles, Messi's goals win you friendlies. Also, playstyle is literally fucking irrelevant. Is Benzema better than Robben (prime vs prime) just because he can do more than one thing (cut inside and shoot)? What matters is efficiency, end of story.

I hope you never win anything again, might aswell be english at this point
Noah Robinson
Are you referring to the fact I care more about efficiency than style or are you just disagreeing with me? If it's the former you're about 10 years late, our youth coaches already removed the so called "joga bonito" from our DNA. You'll only see fancy dribbling and other skills in amateur futsal tournaments or on the streets, but never inside a football pitch.
Gabriel Watson
Anyone who regularly watches football would reach the logical conclusion that one player is heads and shoulders above the other (metaphorically). Those who would rather rely on statistics for whatever reason are dumbfounded to realise that these don't necessarily help in their arguments. Most pundits and ex-goats are unanimous about whose the best. Only people who stick their head out for cristina are his teammates and they'll probably be able to speak their minds once they retire or change teams. Just face it.
James Diaz
oh my
Cameron Lee
I agree with your efficiency point but people keep forgetting that the team was built around him to score whereas Messi hasnt played in a team that feeds him
Xavier Jackson
Now imagine how goat is Messi to get into that team and score hattrick against Madrid at 17. Messi is the goat forever.
