Historically I can think of nothing to match him. He has everything. Height, strength, pace, superb ball skills and an ability to put the ball in the net in almost any circumstance. He's the difference between the Real of last year and the Real of this year and the difference between Juventus of last year and this year.

I feel that while there may be an argument for Messi being to some degree technically superior I just don't think he brings quite as much to the table in all round sense. For example Ronaldo amongst all his other attributes is a superb header of the ball and has the physical presence (height) to accomplish that. I also have my doubts that anyone would pay a hundred million for a 34 year old Messi though we have a few years to wait before that could be tested given that Messi is 3 years younger. And regarding the physical presence there's an old saying opining that a good big un is always preferable to a good little un. Perhaps the opinion of Sepp Blatter should also be included. Quote In a debate at Oxford Union in October 2013, when asked whether FIFA president Sepp Blatter preferred Messi or Ronaldo, Blatter paid tribute to the work ethic of the Argentine before taking a swipe at Ronaldo, claiming "one of them has more expenses for the hairdresser than the other". Real Madrid demanded – and promptly received – a full apology. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSocksRedTops 3,473 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 If Messi had an ego as big as Ronaldo's, he would have a ton more goals. Messi's assists are a huge factor in this debate IMO. Ronaldo is a truly world class player but Messi is from another planet 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 13,580 Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) I found the commentator constantly harping on about what a great achievement it is for England to have four teams in the quarter finals rather tiresome. As buster says, it's simply due to that league being awash with foreign investors and the huge amount of TV money. And most of the players in the four sides aren't English either (all four managers are from overseas).
