I apologize in advance if this applies to you but I sincerely believe that if you think Ronaldo was ever close to Messi, you are of an objectively lower mental status than me, something akin to a sea urchin or maybe a mussel.
Different salaries should only affect how luxurious your life is, not your food quality or ability to afford rent. If you work 40 hours at any job, your income should be enough to live in the town you work in. Thinking otherwise is an abysmal indicator of your humanity.
Aah you see it's quite simple,most national anthems rally the country together and take pride in its own culture, our national anthem is about begging god to save a bunch of inbred pedophiles/ pedophile defenders,hope this helps
Why was Gerd Muller 🇩🇪 never compared to Diego Armando Maradona 🇦🇷?
Gerd Muller was one of the greatest number 9s ever. His instincts, positioning inside the box, and finishing ability were insane. The man was a complete striker. Individually, he held almost every major scoring record of his era: most league goals in Europe, most Golden Boots, most goals in a calendar year, most goals in a season, and 4 European Cup top scorer awards. He scored around 700 official goals with nearly a goal per game average, almost double Maradona’s career goals.
Collectively, he won it all too: a World Cup, a European Championship with Germany, three consecutive European Cups with Bayern, and countless league titles. He even won the Ballon d’Or in 1970. Gerd Muller almost won double the trophies Maradona did.
Yet despite all that, nobody ever compared him to Maradona.
Why?
Because football wasn’t and shouldn’t be judged mainly by goals and trophies. As legendary as Gerd Müller was, he simply was never on Maradona’s level as an overall footballer. Not even close.
Maradona didn’t own scoring records. What made him special was pure football genius. Dribbling, creativity, control, playmaking, carrying entire teams… that’s what historically defined the greatest footballers, long before football debates became obsessed with goals and stats during the PR7 era 🇵🇹.
Now imagine a player who made his debut for Barcelona in 2004-05 at 17 years old, played with the same magic and genius of Maradona almost every single season, while also adding elite end product and eventually breaking nearly every major scoring record Gerd Müller once had.
That little guy was called Lionel Andrés Messi 🇦🇷
A player with Maradona’s footballing genius combined with unmatched production and longevity. A player who amazed the world with his football while simultaneously breaking almost every major individual and collective record in the sport, all while staying humble and down to earth.
This is why comparing Messi to anyone else never ever made sense.
You can score 2000 goals instead of 1000, win 2 World Cups instead of 1, win 100 trophies instead of 50… and still never come close to Messi’s level as a footballer.
Because football greatness was never about numbers. And Messi mastered the art of football better than anyone in history 🐐
Respect is reciprocal. Messi is a very respectful person. You’ll never see him act like he’s bigger than the management, his managers, his teammates or people around him, you’ll never see him take to the media to spew his opinions even when you think he should. There’s a reason he’s the greatest player in the world to ever live.

Football data editor at Opta, @michael_reid11: "We obviously have data for all the Premier League era, so from 1992-93 onwards, but Salah's records were so ridiculous that we realised we had to go beyond that. The amount of times we were doing stats and you'd try to put other players up on a leaderboard but Salah would be just there ahead of them. It would be just impossible to get a table where Salah wasn't above this player because he was so multifaceted. What we tried to do was get maybe two or three Salah records or stats lined up before every game. He got to a point where every time he gets a goal or assist, there's some sort of record he's breaking."
I’ve genuinely never seen, in my years as a journalist covering this sport, a club finally win the Premier League after years of emotional collapses, only to do so from the sofa, with the wider football world reacting like someone had just announced a new Carabao Cup sponsor, a brief nod, a polite clap, and everyone moved on.
I still remember when England’s most glorious and mythical institution, Liverpool FC, won the league last season, playing great football and creating a sense across the football world that something monumental had happened, while with Arsenal, the title feels less like a historic coronation and more like a small club being allowed to hold the big trophy for a weekend, maybe because depressing football, set pieces and emotional insecurity will never quite feel like genuine greatness, which, from a purely journalistic perspective, is quite telling.
Mohamed Salah is lambasted for not speaking enough, then when he does, is slammed for not doing it at the time and in the manner his critics demand.
He is not a performing monkey. He has given absolutely everything he could to the game - and for just shy of a decade, to Liverpool.
Why is his love for the club always questioned? Why can’t he speak as a fan of Liverpool, which he is?
Salah FC or Misperception FC?
