This is pretty bias. Madrid depends on Ronaldo just as much as we depend on messi. They have no reliable goal scorers when he's not on the pitch

Not biased at all. Stats can back it up and we all know Messi isn't only about stats.

You just said it, they have no reliable scorers other than him. Keep in mind that Messi is not just our scorer but also our playmaker.


We know Messi is a better footballer all round than Ronaldo by a distance but lets not dismiss just how crucial Ronaldo is too RM success. He is their best player by a distance and too deny that would be delusional.

Nobody is denying that RM depends on Ronaldo. Don't complicate it. The argument here is simple, which team depends more on their best player? The contribution, influence, stats can prove that it's Messi. Not only this season but also the past several seasons, specially that 81-goal season.

Take out all of Messi's goals this season and he's still our best player and top assist man.

As much as you can hate his character Ronaldo is a top 3 player when it comings to scoring goals, behind Pele and Messi respectfully

So last season when Ronaldo breaks scoring records in CL, leads competition for goals and assists, MOTM in more games than anyone else including the final..... but Modric is their best player. Aye ok.

David Villa was the leading goal scorer in Euro 2008 and Xavi was chosen as the best player .Ronaldo's role is nothing more than what villa did in Euro's .

Yeah because Xavi was the best player....

Did David Villa score most goals, get most assists, most MOTM awards at that Euros? Dont think he did... infact dont think he even scored in knock out rounds did he?

Awful comparison.

Ronaldo didn't gave more assists than Kroos and Marcelo last season . Modric is more of a orchestrater than a assist machine . It's obvious that forwards will accumulate more assists than midfielders in Rm and Barca

In CL he did and he has been top on assists since he joined Real.

Modric is great player just nowhere near Ronaldo.

Nah Messi and Ronaldo being so good is reason they have won them and goals is part of it.
Firstly both are not in the same league . Messi is better and Ronaldo wasn't soo good as well . Not better than Modric and Marcelo . Last time Ronaldo played like a talisman was in 2011-12

I have already explained why Modric doesn't accumulate assists . His job is to orchestrate midfield . Alba has more assists than Modric this season not because Alba is a better playmaker .
