@STRiiBES Current Messi is 1000x better than this. Is this a 19 yo rashford comp?😭

I’m crying man . Current Messi (38 year old) plays better than this .

@CR_Mu7ni @ahm_ehiz You’ve obviously never watched him play if you speak this waffle. Basically every game of his career is proof of the claim

@unchmoon @ahm_ehiz I don't think that's a solid argument as there is no proof of claim .You can't outright say that he is miles clear of any other footballer in passing alone

Technical gap ? There's nothing Messi bests him at bar passing and dribbling. In every other phase of attack Ronaldo is astronomically clear.

@Segun__Victor Is that a Rashford comp?

See Pendu in his prime years😭😭 Pace, power, dribbling, technique, aura, play making, freekicks, headers, shots, you just name it😭😭 God will punish all of you that tried to rewrite history this past couple of weeks. HE IS THE BEST TO EVER DO IT🐐

@ThatSoccerFan7 If he wasn’t meant for goals what was he meant for😭 fraud?

If anyone says Ronaldo spends 90 minutes inside the box, remember they started watching football post pandemic. Anyone who has watched football from 03-04 would know Ronaldo was never meant for goals. Man literally scored his first UCL goal in his 30th game!

@ahm_ehiz 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The most hilarious bits of football Twitter are Messi fans that proclaim that Messi is technically better. But when you lay it out via attacking attributes there's practically nothing that Messi is better than Ronaldo at. The only thing I give him is passing and dribbling. And when football IQ is mentioned I laugh. Ronaldo is the smarter player, this is exemplified in his ability to adapt to different tactical environments. He played under vastly different managers with very different styles. He has evolved positions across the years. Doing all of this without a single drop in output is insane. Compare that to the other guy that has played with managers that have mirroring philosophies and cannot stray away from those environments. Again, I find it really insulting when Messi's name is brought up when we are talking about Ronaldo

@TaalhaUtd_ A compilation of mediocrity

Couldn’t touch him in his prime so they scrutinise when hes 41 and clearly washed. legacy is cemented Not having a world cup wont change that✌🏽

@nanbasenfc Like watching an adama traore comp, bang average

football is not for you if you believe this is in the same bracket as Messi and Maradona

@Gunner_SZN @Tgarratt10 He doesn’t have the most goals in football history you clown. & Messi has a far superior goal ratio and conversion rate, and Haaland eats him alive on pure goalscoring. Cope bro

@unchmoon @Tgarratt10 The guy with the most goals in football history is somehow not the best goalscorer 🤡

@Tgarratt10 BEST PLAYER PAST 20 YEARS: MESSI BEST GOALSCORER: HAALAND, MESSI BEST DRIBBLER: MESSI BEST PASSER: MESSI BEST PLAYMAKER: MESSI BEST TACKLER: KANTE BEST DEFENDER: RAMOS, VAN DIJK BEST LEADER: MESSI, RAMOS Ronaldo can’t be top 5 oat if not the best at these even in past 20 years

@bizzzyburner What am I watching here? Adama traore?

Rewrite history all you want I know what I seen growing up to idolise this man.

@CR_Mu7ni @ahm_ehiz If you’ve watched him play in your life, you will see him constantly produce passes that no one else can produce, eye of the needle. No one can do it like Messi. Accuracy, weight of pass and execution is immaculate.

@unchmoon @ahm_ehiz Now that we've made things clear,on what metric is Messi the best passer in history

@DegurechaffSama It’s one of the only things that quantifies the fraudulent displays that we saw with our own eyes

It's crazy how much of a Messi fan arguments is just sofascore ratings and voted awards

@CR_Mu7ni @ahm_ehiz Playmaking is about controlling the game, creating chances, vision, intelligence.. passing is just raw passing ability to hit those passes

@unchmoon @ahm_ehiz Without emotions please explain to me the difference between a playmaker and a passer

@jayjayr01 Rooneys prime is levels above Cristiano. Any elite manger is taking prime Rooney over prime Ronaldo in their team

Prime for prime is the worst thing for Ronaldo 🤡🤡🤡😂 Even Mario Gomes has a better prime 😂

@oladayothiery If Messi was the captain of Portugal , they would die for him also because of his unspoken leadership genius. Messi with the current Portugal team would be like prime Barcelona reborn, they’d beat everyone 5-0

@unchmoon You think so ?

Ronaldo and Messi have identical records on the international stage . The major difference is the team mates . While Messi has brothers who are willing to sacrifice for him , Ronaldo has kids who need to be held in the hand. I know my goat 💪. Obviously if Ronaldo was an Argentine , he would have won the World Cup 🕹️

@oladayothiery Yes, leadership isn’t about shouting and waving your arms around in a performative manner. Messi has become an all time great leader for the national team, that’s why all the players will die for him.

@eric_gugua BEST PLAYER PAST 20 YEARS: MESSI BEST GOALSCORER: HAALAND, MESSI BEST DRIBBLER: MESSI BEST PASSER: MESSI BEST PLAYMAKER: MESSI BEST TACKLER: KANTE BEST DEFENDER: RAMOS, VAN DIJK BEST LEADER: MESSI, RAMOS

Prime or not, this is LITERALLY and Unarguably the greatest goalscorer in the history of the game btw. And the team is obviously trying to make him see he’s “just one of them.” I can’t wait for this guy to retire so Portugal can see themselves for the Norway they truly are.

@jayjayr01 Portugal has always been a footballing powerhouse, Ronaldosexuals talk like they are Faroe Islands

I’m here to debunk one of the biggest myths used to glaze Cristiano Ronaldo: “Portugal were nothing before Ronaldo.” That’s simply false. Portugal has always been a major football nation. The average Portuguese child has a far higher chance of becoming a professional footballer than most countries. This isn’t some tiny footballing underdog like Iceland. Before Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal had already produced: • 3 Ballon d’Or winners • A record 4 European Golden Boots (most by any nation) At club level, Portuguese football was elite long before Ronaldo. Benfica were one of Europe’s first superpowers, dominating alongside Real Madrid in the early European Cup era. They reached 9 European Cup/Champions League finals — more than clubs from most footballing nations — and represented Europe on the world stage in the Intercontinental Cup. Internationally, people love saying Portugal couldn’t qualify for tournaments before Ronaldo. What they won’t tell you is that World Cups and Euros had only 12-16 teams back then. By today’s qualification formats, Portugal would’ve qualified for several more tournaments, using the old format Ronaldo would have missed 3-4 championships And Portugal’s greatest World Cup achievement remains their 3rd-place finish in 1966, when Eusébio delivered one of the greatest World Cup performances ever against an era featuring Pelé’s Brazil. Now people want to use the Nations League — essentially a glorified friendly tournament created for World Cup preparation — to erase over half a century of Portuguese football history and credit everything to one man. Portugal didn’t become a football nation because of Ronaldo. Ronaldo was fortunate enough to be born into a football nation that was already great.
