When it comes to Messi vs. Ronaldo conversations, you donβt 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 dβOr awards an award voted for by around 100 journalists worldwide. I prefer the player who won five Ballon dβOrs despite not being the media favourite.
You see? Itβs all about context. Itβs 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. Theyβre not ready to see the debate from the angle some of us see it, and thatβs fine.
Viva Ronaldo. π
