Another one acting like he havent seen it before? Seriously, its been posted about 100 times in his thread already, in the past.

Huh, what difference does it make if I've seen it before? I never said anything along the lines of this being revolutionary news to me...

Haven't been active on the forum for a while, that's all.

Got to say, as impressive as his 17 goals last cl was, it was alot of statpadding there. This season he only got 9, but almost every single one of them has been very important. So, in a way this cl-campaign is better than the last one.

Yeah the 17 clearly an outlier, they had some group matches where he scored some hattricks. Anyway, u have to go on till the final to score > 10 goals normally.

I have encountered a couple of posters on Redcafe who genuinely think Ronaldo is better ( ability - wise ) etc. Very rare though to be fair.

People can talk him down all they want but you have to give credit where its due and in certain areas he has outshone Messi, for example his goal scoring in CL semi's is incredible while Messi has not quite been at his best at this stage... although that classico with his golazo certainly makes up for it.

I wouldn't call Ronaldo a better goal scorer as he relies on his team mates for most of his goals. Messi has to work like 5 times harder for his goals than Ronaldo does as Messi is the player that has to create most of Barca's goals and has to do most of the scoring himself.

I have been impressed with Ronaldo's play maybe a handfull of times this season, when i have watched Messi in every game i have seen of him i have been impressed by him.

He always does something extraordinary and makes his team mates and the other team around him look like average players.

They are quite equal as goalscorers, for different reasons. Though Ronaldos all round play isnt bad, Messi's all round play is much better when in form, which he is most of the time.

Yes, wonder how many times that one will go back and forth until either done as a goalscorer at the very highest level.(Messi probably takes it due too age).

Messi will always take it UNLESS ronaldo scores more goals(which in highly unlikely) because messi has a better goal per game ratio

When he realised Messi scored two against Bayern:
