Imaginez deux secondes si Cristiano Ronaldo se permettait ne serait-ce que 10 % de ce que Messi fait parfois…
Mais bon, lui a l’image du “gentil”, donc on laisse tout passer.
Came on and took lesser than half an hour to score from a chance created, But I'm supposed to believe he is the problem when three of the Top 10 best midfielders currently failed to create chances for him
Out of his 48 career trophies, 24 of them are Super Cups, Copa del Reys, Conference Cup, Supporters’ Shield, Finalissima, and U23 trophies.
You know how insane that is 💀
Luis Suárez spent six full seasons at Barcelona during his prime, playing alongside prime Messi, arguably the greatest creator of all time.
Yet he scored just 25 Champions League goals during that period, while Messi scored 48. And Messi directly assisted only 5 of Suárez's 25 UCL goals.
Now compare that to Benzema, who spent nine seasons with Ronaldo at Real Madrid. Benzema scored 43 Champions League goals while Ronaldo scored an absurd 105.
Yet the narrative is that Ronaldo held his teammates back from shining, while Messi was the ultimate team player who made everyone around him better.
Suárez is one of the greatest strikers of his generation, but even he struggled to consistently produce at his level in the Champions League while playing alongside the supposedly “selfless” Messi.
The narrative always seems to bend in Messi's favour while finding a way to discredit Ronaldo.
