If instead of Ronaldo, it was Leo Messi who started his career 3 years earlier, there wouldn't even be a GOAT debate.
Let's swap the number of games played around and imagine Messi had played 1316 games and Ronaldo had played only 1147 games.
Messi is currently on track to score 1051 goals from 1316 games with his current career goal ratio of a goal every 104 minutes.
Ronaldo after 1147 matches had only scored 819 goals.
That would mean the gap between Messi and Ronaldo would be 232 GOALS if Messi had started his career first.
Ronaldo should thank his lucky stars he got the headstart he did because otherwise we wouldn't even put these two in the same conversation.
And please stop that rubbish Narrative that we Messi Fans only use World Cup as a yardstick for why Messi is better than Ronaldo
