Wait, are we acting like Neymar is a poor player now? Most other clubs would love to have him.
Its just BBZ, not everyone thinks that.

Mate, I am a Barca's fan and in my eyes, there will never be a doubt regarding who is better: Messi or Cr7.
But I personally won't commit a suicide now because RM is dominating. I survived that already once before as a teen in 1998, 2000 and 2002 when it was way more painful since Real was dominating and we were an absolute crap. This time, we had 10 years of joy before RM's success.
Also, personally, I don't mind saying: RM is better today. Or Cr7 was better/more influental this season (from this or that reason).
But it personally slightly pisses me that everything is black and white.
When Messi loses a final with Argentina=it is not about him. It is teammates. It is a bad luck. It is Higuain.
When CR7 wins an Euro=it IS his teammates. Cr7 was poor. Portugal was lucky. A tournament was a crap.
So, what, Argentina was never lucky? Argentina never had an easy draw etc?
Portugal is stronger in Europe than Argentina in America?
Or again, regarding Barca/Messi CL's and RM/CR7's CLs.
In the last 4 years, first 2 of their CL's were described as: lucky, easy draws, undeserved etc.
On the other hand, remember our CL title in 2009 and Chelsea's match. None of RM's titles can match that one.
My point:
1. Messi is still the best
2. but Cr150 is surely not a bad player either
3. also, 4 years ago Messi was like 5 miles infront of CR7 when you look at their career's achievements.
Today, Messi is still probably the best when you sum it all, but Cr7 has done an amazing job in the last 4 years (luck or not) with 1 Euro and 3 Cls in 4 years and his career's achievements came way closer to Messi.
On the other hand, if Cr7 will win 1-2 Cls in the next 3-4 years, who knows how the maths will look in the end.
Since, sadly, RM is currently miles better than us (on a CL level). They have a winning team who is on a hot streak.
While we have no midfield and our 2nd best player who should lead us to trophies is a clown Neymar
4. also, Barca has hugely let down Messi in the last 6 years, where we won only 1 title and RM (without Messi) won 3 Cl titles
Also, one more thing, we can debate this or that and add random arguments (R9 doesn't have a CL etc), but a point remains that for neutral fans, Cr7 in this moment came really close to Messi, or even equalled or surpassed him.
Once again, unless if we win 1 CL in the next 3-4 years, Cr7 could come even closer or surpass him even more (in the eyes of neutrals).
So, RM is on their way to win 4-5-6 CLs in 7-8 years, and our answers are Neymar, Bellerin and similar guys.
Dear Messi, good luck.
If you'll want to win against RM and CR7, you will have to do it alone, by yourself.
Don't expect too much help from our board or from players whom they are buying.

There is a rumor that someone bid 180 mill for Ronaldo. Most likely bs, who pays that for a 32 year old?
Then again, we cant replace him with someone as good, there is only so much money can buy.
