Finally showed why he was bought. That awesome strikers instinct and great positioning are what Alexis lacked.

Manchester city 1-3 Barcelona Messi x2, Suarez

Holy shit what a waste of money.

It'd be amazing if Ronaldo went scoreless but he's almost guaranteed a tap in or penalty.

Courtois is incredible.

Some premier league pitches are in fact narrower.

He should be able to get another 10 assists this season maybe more.

Anyone have stats for current assist leaders in Europe's top five leagues? Messi has to be first or second.

This is a goldmine for reaction images. :lol:

What the Hell. why not give Suarez an easy match he could score a couple goals in?

They were but it was still amazing to watch. You're trying to diminish Messis achievements but Ronaldo hasn't come close to them. Look how much Ronaldo suffers without Modric and James creating. He's become a tap in king with the occasional nice long distance strike. Hopefully he continues this...

Ronaldo has never even scored a hat trick in the knockout stages of the champions league. I just did the research. Messi has the 4 goals vs arsenal and the 5 goals vs Bayer Leverkusen.

Ronaldo goals in 2013-14 champions league and the score they made on the tie: Round of 16 vs Schalke: 52' of first leg to make it 3-0, 89' of first leg to make it 6-0, 21' of second leg to make it 7-1, 73' of second leg to make it 8-1. Quarterfinals vs Dortmund: 57' of first leg to make it...

Di Maria, Ramos, and Modric were all more influential in the champions league than Ronaldo. It's not like Messi made it to the world cup final and won the golden ball or anything...Oh wait he did while Ronaldo didn't even get out of the group stage.

Barcelona 6-0 Levante Messi x3, Suarez x2, Rakitic

Messi was by far the best player in the world that year though. Ronaldo wasn't even the best player on his own team.

If Ramos didn't score that header vs Atletico to take the Cl final to extra time then I'm almost 100% certain Ronaldo wouldn't have won the balon dor. Further analyzing, if three very close matches went differently(Barcelona vs Atletico for la liga, Atletico vs Real, and the world cup final)...

Tata didn't have Suarez, had Neymar in his first season, Messi was gone for like three months and never hit the form he's in now, and he didn't have Rakitic. Huge difference.

So if the knee problems are serious then he could either get the surgery and give up the pichichi and lose ground on Messi in the champions league goals or keep playing injured and crappy while risking a worse injury. Literally 0% chance he'll take time off if this injury is real or fake.

So far Messi is way ahead in the race for the balon dor but we know Ronaldo will score like 20 penalties in September/October.
