Yes. Worthless goal
Ronaldo is a great player, up there with the likes of Pele, Baggio, Cruyff and Puskas.
Messi is up there with Diego Maradona.

27 goals in 24 games against English teams in the Champions League since 2010.
He really made a mistake by not going to the Premier League. He could've been scoring for fun

But Stoke? Did he score against Stoke City?27 goals in 24 games against English teams in the Champions League since 2010.

Not really, lost to young boys, linguard had the winning goal against west ham and united had enough goals against Newcastle even without Ronaldo

such a shame he didn’t go to city
He put United 2-1 up mate. That's the winning goal. It's okay mate, Messi is still good. But going to the French league goes against him.
Messi scoring against city you better believe it. Huge difference than scoring against young boys
You spend all your day on a United forum and you want him playing for city?
Man against boys?
No, he didn’t though. Linguard put them up 2-1 against West ham.
and I agree, sucks going to the French league but CL is always where it will be at. And the pressure in a match against city in CL >>>> playing Newcastle in the league
I’m a Barca fan, wouldn’t mind him on united but you guys werent going to go for him. Don’t care for city either but Messi with that team would’ve had 30 goals in the epl
Man against boys?
haha in fairness Ronaldo has looked good for you lot. Best of luck tomorrow,
I’m sure you’d love revenge against Villarreal
Thanks bud!
He put Utd 2-1 up v Newcastle mate. Can spin it any way you want, Ronaldo has been better than Messi this season so far. I do expect Messi to have better numbers come the end of the season. Some of the teams he'll play this year will be laughably bad.
If you’re going to go that route the same would apply to Ronaldo going to Juventus (Juventus who in footballing terms were none the better for bringing him in and were actually better before he joined).
absolutely no argument from me there
That’s almost the only time it’s bumped. One of them scores and a surge of posters come rushing in proclaiming the old “this isn’t even a debate anymore” shite. It’s pretty cringe.
“Messi has scored 27 #UCL goals vs English clubs, the most such goals in competition history
27 - Lionel Messi
12 - Cristiano Ronaldo
10 - Robert Lewandowski
10 - Thomas Müller.”

You can think someone is better than Pele, but Pele isn’t in a lower ‘tier’ to anyone in football history, he’s alongside them.
You're not seriously comparing Serie A to the French league so we don't have a problem here.
It goes a long way when Barca somehow used to draw Arsenal all the time
100% factual, and if you disagree then you simply don’t know enough about Pele.
The stat that tells us how many times each of these players has played against English clubs in the champions league would be interesting. Otherwise, kinda meaningless.
Has more against City and Us 11 than against Arsenal 9.It goes a long way when Barca somehow used to draw Arsenal all the time
But let people tell you he would struggle against Burnley and Stoke
Messi has 35 games and 28 goals I think
Ronaldo has 79 and 28 goals(in CL and PL)
From what I just checked, in the UCL against English clubs:
Messi - 35 apps, 28 goals, 6 assists
Ronaldo - 17 apps, 12 goals, 1 assist.
91 minutes per goal contribution for Messi
117 minutes per goal contribution for Ronaldo.
So yes, better. But not exactly the picture painted simply by putting goals scored up. I hate it when things are exaggerated for an agenda.
He’s played them 34 times, insanely impressive
Well it’s not used to discredit Ronaldo it’s too show how well Messi does against the big 6 especially when people say he hasn’t done it in the PL. His record against the top teams is probably per game best out there so he would have no trouble with Burnley or bleeding Newcastle.
I usually stay out of here as I do rate one of them higher but I love both and with them bearing the end of their careers I just enjoy them.
I’ll change my vote to Ronaldo if he wins us a trophy. If that doesn’t motivate him, I don’t know what will.

Scored more against Manchester clubs than London clubs
Honestly, can’t you see Messi is the good guy of football?
Messi had a really poor game today. Was peripheral. But that goal just proves there’s fire in the belly still. Lovely move and finish.
Yes. But also PSGs gameplay doesn't takes the best of him. They are a bunch of individual players. Mbappé mainly.
Erase please. Double post.
hahhaha
Ligue 1 is weaker than La Liga, PSG far and away the best team. Serie A is also weaker than La Liga, and when Ronaldo joined Juventus was far and away the best team. If joining Ligue 1 goes against Messi for this reason then by your own logic it should go against Ronaldo also to some degree, right (the degree contingent on how much weaker you think Serie A to be)? If so then we don't have a problem.
Today Messi scored a good goal, he had been absent since the final with Argentina but hopefully this gives him a boost in confidence. I don't expect much of him in the french league but he needs to show up in the UCL as is the only competition where he can play against strong opposition.
The biggest player in the world. Wears number 30 shirt at his new club. Celebrates a debut goal of pure individual brilliance by keep pointing at a young player who gives the assist. Lies down behind the wall to defend a freekick instead of waiting further on the pitch for a counterattack. What a guy. Humility is power.
