@mustiboi12@rohitthedasher@FenomenoFootbal madrid became a superteam after having the greatest transfer window of all time in 2009. In the 2009/10 season they finished with 92 pts in the league, only 4 pts behind Barca. They were clearly close to Barca's level, and their squad was extremely stacked as well.
@ecervjr17@sussybakaball@Interstellar_HG You can make an argument he was not best player in 2014 wc, but he was easily top 3. He had g/a in 1/2 ko goals that Argentina scored and completely carried them in the group stage.
In 2016 copa america, he was by far the best player in the tournament. You are clearly deluded
@Peter_Obi_Jr@mr_factuality@ultimate_kombo They didn't, but Ronaldo certainly didn't carry them. He ghosted against Croatia and Poland and then did a good performance in semi finals against Wales. He only showed up in 2/7 of Portugals games if we are being honest. Nani was as good as he was.
@Goflowpnnd@mr_factuality@ultimate_kombo This all sounds good and all and then you realize that he played against Wales in the semi finals and it becomes much less impressive.
@mustiboi12@rohitthedasher@FenomenoFootbal He is right though. When Messi had a superteam (2009-2015), Ronaldo also had a superteam. However Messi's team was shit post 2015, while Ronaldo kept having superteams. Still, Messi was able to carry his team to winning la liga and going far in UCL.
@PeakSxnti@001Oxygen Higuain ghosted in 3 straight finals in 2016 and missed chances in all of them. Messi won player of the tournament in 2014 and 2016. Your comparison is laughable
@PeakSxnti@ArsenalChizzy_ Ronaldo is the one who brought him in. He is even having links with Al Nassr. It is clear that Ronaldo has installed a guy who will just follow his lead, and it has caused Portugal massive problems because of it.
La rivalidad Messi vs Cristiano fue puro marketing en la época donde se quería vender el derby Barcelona vs Real Madrid y recaudar mucho más dinero. La realidad es que nunca hubo discusión, ni debate ni rivalidad. Cristiano es un gran jugador pero lejísimos de Messi. Años luz.
Why am I seeing Ronaldo fans crying about midfielders not creating chances for Ronaldo?
I tought chances created were just a useless stats invented by Messi fans
Context considered, Lionel Scaloni’s tenure with Argentina is probably the single most impressive coaching job I’ve ever witnissed in all my years as a football fan.
And I do NOT say this lightly.
