When it comes to Messi vs. Ronaldo conversations, you don’t need to make logical arguments. Just stick to banter or tweet your opinion and move on, because the moment you try to have a logical conversation using facts, figures, and context, most Messi fans will eventually resort to insulting you.
You might prefer Messi because he has more league titles than Ronaldo. I prefer Ronaldo because he has won league titles in England, Spain, Italy, and Saudi Arabia.
You might prefer Messi because he has won the most Golden Boots in history. I prefer Ronaldo because he is the highest goalscorer in football history. He has also scored at least 100 goals for every club he has played for.
You might prefer Messi because he won the World Cup. I prefer Ronaldo because he won five Champions League titles with two different clubs. You need seven games to win a World Cup; you need 13 to win the Champions League. He also won it three times in a row.
You prefer the player with eight Ballon d’Or awards an award voted for by around 100 journalists worldwide. I prefer the player who won five Ballon d’Ors despite not being the media favourite.
You see? It’s all about context. It’s based on preference. You prefer a playmaker; I prefer a goalscorer who decides games.
A lot of Messi fans will insult you simply because Ronaldo is your GOAT. To save yourself the endless back and forth, either stick to bantering with them or tweet your opinion and move on. They’re not ready to see the debate from the angle some of us see it, and that’s fine.
Viva Ronaldo. 🐐
Dear @ManUtd
I’ve supported this club since 2003 and I have one request ahead of next season.
Please sell Bruno Fernandes.
After what I saw as his insubordination and the way he played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo during the ongoing FIFA World Cup, where Portugal were eliminated, I’ve completely lost faith in him as the captain of Manchester United.
This club deserves leaders who inspire the team, not divide opinion.
If Bruno remains at the club next season, I’ll be h@te-watching every game and hoping this team learns that no player is bigger than Manchester United.
A loyal fan since 2003.
🥇 Most international goals (146)
🥇 Most international appearances (233)
🥇 Most World Cup goals for Portugal (11)
🥇 Only player to score in SIX different FIFA World Cups
🥇 Most goals scored at Euros (14)
Cristiano bows out of international football as a living legend 👏
Hiciste grande un país diminuto.
Ganaste los únicos 3 títulos de su historia.
Eres el máximo goleador de la historia.
No llores porque terminó, sonríe porque sucedió.
In 2010: Messi didn’t win the Champions League or the World Cup, yet they changed the Ballon d’Or criteria to favor goals and gave it to him.
In 2011: Ronaldo had more goals than Messi, but they claimed trophies were what mattered, so Messi won it again.
In 2012: Ronaldo had more trophies, but they gave it to Messi because he scored 91 goals in a calendar year.
In 2019: Van Dijk won the Champions League and was named UEFA Best Player and EPL Player of the Year, but the criteria switched back to goals and Messi won the Ballon d’Or.
In 2021: Lewandowski scored more goals, had a historic individual season, and won The Best FIFA Men’s Player, but Messi was given the Ballon d’Or for winning the Copa América.
In 2023: Haaland won five trophies including the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Club World Cup, and UEFA Super Cup along with the UEFA Best Player, EPL Player of the Year, and the Golden Boot. Yet, the Ballon d’Or went to Messi for winning the 2022 World Cup, even though in 2010 they argued that the World Cup did not matter 😂.
This is Messi's 6th world cup, but he has never played against;
Brazil 🇧🇷
Spain 🇪🇦
England 🏴
Uruguay 🇺🇾
Portugal 🇵🇹
Only big teams he played are Germany, Netherlands & France but has never beaten them in 90mins.
Why are they protecting him?
Ronaldo has played all.
