Sit the feck down. Just sit the feck down

He's 34, you don't get to downplay this shit. feck off.
 
Phenomenal.

Physically, he's in a better shape than Messi. And dwarfs Messi's record in CL knock-out games.
 
Is this still a debate? Can people just accept the fact that he has surpassed Messi 5 years ago.

Of course it's still a debate, you only have to watch Messi play football to realise that.

He has 26 goals and 12 assists in the league this season to go with 6 champions league goals of his own. What is it with people on both sides of this debate that they feel the need to completely downplay the other?
 
The magnificent one.


Though I reckon our victory inspired him:wenger::D
 
Regardless of whether he is the overall GOAT, he’s the greatest European Cup player of all time.

They just need one early goal and Simeone's inferiority complex will do wonders for Juve's odds.

One long shot, a free kick, set pieces, a penalty, random cross or a melee in the area, something like that goes Juve's way in the first 20 minutes and it's Atletico's game to lose,

I should've put money on Atleti bottling like this :lol:
 
At a certain point you just have to look at the amount of times he's strapped his team onto his back when it mattered most to carry them to glory and concede that he's up there with the absolute greatest players ever to play the game, if not the greatest. His ability to consistently impact high-pressure games is unrivalled. I've lost count of how many hat-tricks he's pulled out of his arse to win games for his team.

It is not Messi is a close second but Ronaldo is the greatest of this era and will be remembered as such.

Absolutely. He is ahead of Di Stefano, Cruyff and Messi in that aspect (by a country mile in the case of the later two). GOAT is another thing and many players can claim it (at least 4 in my opinion) but for European cups should be pretty unanimous at this stage.
 
Apparently also Nostradamus.
Cristiano Ronaldo believes he'll score a hat-trick to eliminate Atletico Madrid

The first leg of Atletico Madrid and Juventus' Champions League tie was not a good night for Cristiano Ronaldo, as his team lost 2-0 and as he was insulted and jeered by the fans at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano.

Now, the Portuguese wants revenge in the second leg and has been repeatedly telling his close family and friends that Juventus will progress and that he'll score a hat-trick.

Says the Sporting fan. Yeah now I'm convinced, thanks to your great objectivity.
 
what else can you say? the man owns the CL. people talking about 1 goal in the groups. when it really matters he comes clutch - the knockouts is his stage.
 
I've never seen anything like him!

I'm completely lost for words! Wow!

No he won't. Maybe in Portugal and Madrid.

I don't even care who is better, I'm not a fanboy of either and they're both tremendous footballers, but the general consensus among neutrals is that Messi is the better footballer. Pretty much all ex pros who have played against both go with Messi, when almost anybody who plays the game is asked who the best is they go with Messi.
 
On a side note, Real eliminated Atletico in the last 4 out of 5 editions of UCL (I think), in some of them CR playing an integral part, and now he does it again.

Nonsense. Anyway, take this to the Ronaldo v Messi thread.
 
Maybe it would be time to quote all those messages that doubted Him/Juve could do this 2 weeks ago, softening the fall with cushions, and that now are laughing at people for having opinions as wrong as their's was.
 
Greatest European footballer of all time, for sure.

He’ll always have competition from the Big Three from South America in the GOAT debate but there’s no doubt he’s the greatest on this continent to ever play the game.

People who are far too involved emotionally (on both sides of this debate) make such sweeping statements .. it's ridiculous. And it's almost always someone who is blatantly biased to one side who makes them.

That has been the wrong answer since 2014. Ronaldo has conquered 3 leagues won the CL everywhere he went only missing Juve he won a major trophy with Portugal. Their is nothing left to prove.

In the knockouts, only Real have knocked them out since 2014.

Final in 2014 and 2016. Quarter-finals in 2015. Semi-finals in 2017. Atleti didn't make the knockouts in 2018.

Then Ronaldo hits a hat-trick against them again to seal their fate like he did in 2017.

They must hate the sight of him.
 
"Ronaldo is only good because of Modric and Kroos"

Ronaldo leaves Madrid and they dont get passed the first round and Ronaldo does:lol::lol:
 
If only we'd sacked Mourinho a season earlier, we may have had Ronnie back at Old Trafford. If we can throw filthy money at Sanchez, we could have thrown double that at the undisputed CL GOAT.

Will still be world class even on the other side if 35, this fella. Woody missed a huge chance on this one.
