Messi on being the best:
“I enjoyed having five and being the only one. When Cristiano moved level, I admit that it hurt me a bit. I was no longer alone at the top. But it made sense, although it was good when I was alone at five."
Now he's back on 🔝
Messi: "Cristiano'yu kupalar kazanırken görmek benim için çok zordu ama yine de onu özlüyorum. Şu an Madrid'de olsa iyi olurdu, onu ligimizde görmek güzeldi."
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. 🐐
WE’VE GOT TO ADMIT IT WITHOUT FEAR
As a lifelong Cristiano Ronaldo fan, if Messi wins a second World Cup, whether i think it was deserved or not… it becomes impossible to deny him.
He has to be recognised as the second greatest footballer of all time.
Still comfortably behind Cristiano GOATnaldo. 🐐
