Lionel Messi - v7

[JamDav1982]

Won a penalty but didn't do much else in open play. Messi will always dominate a game more than ronaldo no matter the score. If messi stayed around the box making runs all game he'd probably be ahead in the scoring charts but who wants to just watch that

Barca couldnt pick him up and was constantly moving and helping Juve. Was better until well ahead.

Messi is a better creator, but i dont think he would be that efficient in the box anymore.

The whole juve team were moving and playing well more so than ronaldo doing much. It was really only messi dominating for barca

He still makes good runs but its only alba and busquets who seem to see them most of the time

Believe that if you like.

Never ending excuses.

Messi was quite good in the 2nd half in that game.

Messi's been scoring penaldos for much of this season until recently. Imagine being so far up his ass you don't even have the facts straight.

What facts?

Ronaldo being better than Messi now.

It doesnt matter if Ronaldo is better or not, as the overall level is pretty bad right now in the world top. Only Lewa is up to messis and ronaldos normal standards. This messi and messi 2017 are two different entities.

He was better once Juve just sat back.

Strange argument about Messi not getting chances around box when he had by far the most chances of any player in that game.

Messi was probably Barcas best player across 90 mins but while game was close Ronaldo was having more impact.

 

[Nazario1985]

Ronaldo was having more impact.

Flash info : 'Cause the team was garbage if you're still blind to see it.

What facts?

Ronaldo being better than Messi now.

Messi's scored 5 or 6 penalties this season. From his 16 goals.

CR7 has scored maybe 6-8 from his 22 goals? They've both been penalty merchants except that CR7 has scored more in open play.

I'm not talking about peak. Messi easily wins there.

I'm not talking about career. Messi wins there too or it's a tie.

I'm talking 2020-2021.

Lewa is not as good as messi and Ronaldo during their peak years

Ronaldo has scored a few more goals but we all know there is a lot more to Messi's game, Leo has played at a higher level than Cristiano since November though Ronaldo had a better start to the season.
But neither has had a great season but I would still put them in the top 3 with Lewandowski, I don't think anyone else has stood out, maybe Kimmich at Bayern.

There are a few others in the mix, Salah, Kane, Fernandes, Muller.

How could you forget haaland seen as he's mentioned every day on this forum. Also Ibra , de Bruyne and gundogan who was always good in my opinion but has really shone the last few months
