True, If Ronaldo is playing for PSG this season, I expect he would have at least 35 goals by now already, or more.
Given the fact we are playing like a disjoint team this season, haven't been creating chances and only had 52 league goals this season, whereas PSG is far a dominant team in a far weak league with 70 league goals scored already.
you realize Messi is one of the top assisters in all of Europe? PSG’s second highest scorer in CL?
Are you seriously, seriously comparing the EPL to Ligue 1?
Like I said, ligue is much closer to Liga NOS then epl and that says a lot.
This is some massive hyperbole
@RedRonaldo and of all the Ronaldo fans you always have the best most level headed takes. Neymar only has 17 goals so far, and Ronaldo sure as hell wouldn't be outscoring Mbappe who is in far far better form than Ronaldo is. And if you watch the PSG matches, you'll see that they are very dysfunctional as well. And have been all season with better form lately.
You mention Pogba's 9 assists as being more impressive than Messi's 13, but 4 of Pogba's assists were literally on the opening day of the season. He's been far far worse than Messi since then. And once again, no one in Europe has had a hattrick of assists multiple times in the same season. Yeah, I agree, the competition Messi did it against for those hattricks aren't anything to write home about, but neither is Norwich and look at where we are.
@SportingCP96 you're bragging about Norwich. Nearly a quarter of Ronaldo's goals this season in the EPL have come against the worst team in the league. And no, Norwich would not be top 10 in Ligue 1. I have zero problem saying Ronaldo is having the better season than Messi, but Ronaldo has been wank far far more often than Messi has this year. Ronaldo (like Messi) has done a majority of his damage against the bottom third of the league.
The fact that even on this sub it's like a 60-40 split for people who still want Ronaldo to leave, on top of the new manager most likely kicking Ronaldo to the curb as well despite his goals. United's entire attack is based on feeding Ronaldo as often as possible.
This is a team that finished second in the league last season, yet all of a sudden
everyone miracuously fell off a cliff once Ronaldo joined. Juve are finishing top 4 much more comfortably than last season with Ronaldo.
You say PSG win the league 90% of the time, yet Juventus won the league 8 straight times when Ronaldo came on board and then had their worst finish in a decade and then Ronaldo bailed. United are having their worst season in a few decades since Ronaldo joined. Juve wasn't miffed at Ronaldo leaving, and United may not even have him in the squad next season. PSG didn't even win their own league just last season for reference.
I honestly don't think all of this is to blame on Ronaldo, but I promise you if this was Messi taking new teams to their lowest lows in the league you would be singing a much different tune. Barca fell to 13th with Koeman after Messi left and it wasn't until Xavi joined and had to replace 4 players in the starting XI and even then they couldn't even make it to the Europa semi final losing to a mid-table German team at home.
You criticize other posters for repeating the same stats yet
@Bebestation literally has been posting the
exact same post year after year after year after year. But since it suits the Ronaldo agenda no one says anything.
I think what Ronaldo has done at 37 is solid. But to brag about Norwich is absolutely bizarre. People massively overrate the EPL on this sub and that is understandable. The bottom 10 in the PL isn't that much better from the other leagues although yes, the PL is the best league in the world.
Messi's role with PSG is to be a playmaker first and foremost, the team is built around Mbappe and not him. Has he been lacklustre at times for PSG? Absolutely, but when you see how far ahead he is (even well ahead of Neymar and Mbappe) you can see he is filling that role relatively well after a brutal start to the season:

It wouldn't surprise me if United improve next season once Ronaldo is most likely gone this summer. That isn't a slight to Ronaldo, he's 37, but I could understand if he scored against City or Liverpool (which in fairness, Messi actually did this season vs City) but lads...It's Norwich.
Carry on my friend, and I'm also glad to see Portugal made it to the WC as it would've been absolute BS if they hadn't due to that goal that should have counted.
. I don't think you dislike Messi, but you surely dislike Messi fans to the extent you will go on call PSG 20times better even when despite their league standings, this PSG team has barely dominated Ligue 1 this season in actual match proceedings. You seem to totally ignore the way both are playing. One is playing as a finisher for the chances created, another is playing as a playmaker who while agree has been shit in front of goal, but his main duty is to create chances, which he is doing at an excellent rate. But does that mean he is having a great season? No not at all. But does it somehow nake Cristiano greater? No it doesn't. It just makes either of Messi fans shitting on Cristiano, vice versa, sound like bitter housewives who have reached menopause./cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/63756822/1147629659.jpg.5.jpg)
