Messi will play as long as Ronaldo, dropping deeper and deeper but losing none of his skill. Gary's wrong on this one.

It doesn't really matter, people will in future bring up statistics and the individual records to argue that Cristiano was on the same level as Messi.

It's called revisionism..

I'm not really old enough to remember, but people claim this is what happened with the real Ronaldo and Zidane. I've heard that Ronaldo was better than Zidane for the better part of their careers and was unanimously considered the best player for most years and only now are they being compared seriously using metrics like youtube highlight reels. Can you confirm this?

gary's world view is limited to man.united, that was evident in his coaching and is evident in his commentary. anyone who says cristiano's best years were 06-08 should not be taken seriously.

Yep. Gary's bitterness and hate against Barca always comes out in times like these.

The troll sounds he made when Torres scored to knock us out of the CL.

The time Madrid beat Bayern against Pep and he was on twitter saying possession football has gone.

All Gary needs to remember is 3 things. 2009 CL Final, 2011 CL Final.. and 7-0.

Fuck sake every football site 'Ronaldo Greatest' Ronaldo this Ronaldo that, ffs. Luckiest player to have ever lived. Been absolutely shit the whole 2017.

Three of his goals came against ten men. And two were offside. What's so special about that.

'More complete player than messi' HAHAHAHA this comment is on every YouTube video people are so stupid.

Neville does have a point. Ronaldo is a super physical specimen, if he continues to be the poacher that he has become, it takes very little effort physically to situate near the penalty box. As long as his goal-scoring techniques do not decline so much that he can no longer score, he might play well into his late 30's.

The issue is, when he is too slow to dribble and beat defenders, he might have to rely on solely headers. And then the time will come when he can't outjump the defenders. We will see.

Where was he just a month ago? And some of you are still "afraid" of his success?
He will disappear in the next CL game and after RM will run out of the winning streak he will be even less visible.

RM is great team, they got great players for every position and so all the stars are aligned for him to succeed and all it takes for him is to poach just a few times when it matters and if he succeeds it's all fame, sunshine and rainbows again.
Meanwhile if Barca fails, it's Messi's fault. If Argentina fails it's Messi's fault.
Why doesn't Messi have Ramos to save the day when its not going well? To keep the winning mentality going.
Why doesn't Messi have Renato Sanches (aka Higuain) when it matters?
Why can't Barca draw easy opponents from time to time?
Fuck it...these are the differences. Forget about the 2x CL if Ramos wasn't there and forget about Euro if Sanches wasn't there.
How was Portugal doing in the group stage? End up third. Qualified thanks to the new rules.
How is Real doing in domestic league where you have to be consistent, where luck has less influence? Only 1 title in the last 10 years.

This already happened about 3 years ago.

People rave about his finishing and rightly so but I bet his goals per shot ratio is much higher than Messi.

He's been a poacher for a while... Gary a little lost.

He's right. Ronaldo will be smashing in 40 goals a season for a long time yet and will break all scoring records (apart from Messi's 2012 records).

Yep. Gary's bitterness and hate against Barca always comes out in times like these.

He wasn't wrong either. Real are now dominating with fast counter attacking football.

Barca actually dominated the year after in 2015 doing the same.
