His movement is often incredible. We can all agree that he's very good at scoring goals through good movement. Ronaldo is in the all time debate, and I'm viewing it in that lense. A goal is not a goal there. It matters how it was created. Someone creating the goal themselves through dribbling 4...

Yes, I agree somewhat in terms of general play (which was the question). However, it happens rarely. That is a more important point.

Only really impressive goal was the freekick, which was beautiful. Number 2 is a goalkeeping mistake (not even "long range"), the header is from 5 metres and a penalty is a penalty (should be over 50% to score for anyone). So basically 1 out of 4 is a difficult or skillful goal.

People have been blinded by recent success. Does his general play impress? Does he dribble well? When did he last dominate a game (disregarding goals)? Does his general play fill you with awe like other all time greats? He's more limited than ever before, and yet now he's supposedly better than...

Why deserved? His game is centered on being on the end of a move and tapping it in or scoring penalties. I'm not saying those things aren't vital (they are), but he's not even top 50 all time in terms of dribbling, technique and passing/creating. Ronaldo has become a more limited player these...

Imagine if he chose Spain. He would have such a wonderful time and legacy. Would probably have smashed some WC records etc.

That's a huge difference. You never see teams triple-mark Ronaldo like what happens with Messi. The difference between them as players and their teams contribute to that as well. Real Madrid are more dynamic as a team, and Portugal rely on counters etc. Ronaldo as a player can score from...

I didn't see it, but if he did, he needs to stop giving a shit. You need to know and see and FEEL that it already is in the back of the net. That's the mentality you should have as a professional. If he hit it to his right, which is his preferred placement, I'm sure it would be a goal. That's...

I don't understand pressure. You shouldn't feel anything but elation at the fact that you will SMASH the penalty and celebrate. This is what Ronaldo sees, and Messi needs to stop giving a shit. I actually said that he should get hit (like vs Marcelo in 16/17) so that he forgets about it. Then he...

Real Madrid, like Barca and Atletico, start every year in three competitions; CDR, CL and La Liga. Everyone should hold Madrid accountable for losing 2 out of 3. Of course, CL is the most prestigious one, with La Liga a close second. If they truly were Europe's best team, they wouldn't be losing...

Doesn't really make sense we keep winning the league and cup every year over Real, and then can't get out of the quarters in the CL. Both Atleti and Juve knocked us out, then go on and lose to Madrid of course. Same Madrid we beat in the league. The fact that they're only winning the CL should...

Let's hope our team next year gets better for the CL. Can't let this keep happening with Real now getting 3 in a row. Barca could easily have had 4 in a row between 2009-2012. Now that would've sealed them as the undisputed best team ever.

The fact that these things affect other teams facing Real, is why Barca should've met them the last years. The only team that has a psychological advantage over them. Imagine if Barca met them in 2014, 2016, 2017 and this year. I bet Barca would win 3 out of 4 times there, honestly. A pity we...

It's actually insane that both in the semi and in the final, the opposing team's keeper make mistakes not even amateur keepers would do. Just look at those mistakes. Did they get paid/threatened or something? That would actually be a more logical explanation than that they simply made such...

Messi should have the Ballon d'Or in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012. 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017 based on his INDIVIDUAL performance. I remember thinking that he was much better than Ronaldo even in 2008, at least much more impressive on the field with his dribbling etc. So, based on performance, he...

Bayern should've won this. Stupid mistakes, missed chances and clear pens denied.

Quite unbelievable the luck Real are having in the CL nowadays. It's weird. I wanted Barca to meet Real this year, as I'm quite confident we would've beat them.

For club teams, perhaps. The fact is that Real Madrid and Barcelona start in 3 comps each year, so why should the CL count more than league + CDR? It shouldn't, because Real Madrid lost 2 competitions, and are currently in the semi's of CL.

Honestly, the cup and league is a bigger achievement than the CL. It's pathetic that Real Madrid are part of 3 competitions every year, but the only one that matters to people is the CL. It's a cup competition, it's far from perfect. You can fluke it like Chelsea in 2012 etc. If you win the CL...

I've been a Messi fan for ages, due to him being the best player I've ever seen. However, he has lost too many important trophys these last years. 2014 WC, 2015 Copa, 2016 Copa and going out in the CL in 15/16, 16/17 and 17/18 limply, while Real won (through to semis this year). It's highly...
