What are you talking about? How is Messi in decline? 54 goals/16 asists in 52 matches in 16/17 season. How is that a decline? Ronaldo is not getting more effective, but he does play in a better team.
Football is still a team sport, so that counts a lot.
By suggesting he's in slight decline doesn't mean he's suddenly gone rubbish , just that he's not been playing at as high an unbelievable high standard that he was doing a couple of years ago ...in contrast Cronaldo looked to be a dead weight and I presumed that he'd had his best days but he seems to have reinvented himself and of course he's been helped by Zidane making flamin Madrid good again ...


board!
Stay tuned!
