I've said this 89 times already: please stop hating on him or Messi. The childish "Pessi Penaldo" propaganda was started by some Instagram users who barely know football. These players have built legacies and played huge roles in making football the biggest sport in the world. Seriously, you kids need to grow up. This GOAT debate is just spreading unnecessary hate. I was scrolling through comments and saw people dismissing his goal against Ireland because he's almost 40. You need a reality check. Today He scored an incredible goal with his left foot that was impossible to stop against the most talented Ireland squad and nearly scored a fantastic free kick. He has 895 career goals, with 130 for Portugal. Put some respect on his name. He literally have more passion for the game unlike some other players If you hate him just because you love Messi, you're not a true football fan. Both players deserve respect, not hate. Grow up and stop with these childish debates, Peace✌🏼.

Different positions bro can't compare even compare them they are totally different Haaland got alot of goals again tbf but Vini had the better season and was crucial to Madrid in the ucl especially vs Bayern, City and BVB. Vini is a winger sometimes plays central depending on who they face whilst Haaland is a proper striker known for his goals.

Because he's not good at it, that's why he doesn't even participate in these moments, just like the others mentioned.

Cristiano Ronaldo can't wait to watch Kylian Mbappé light up the Bernabeu just like Mbappé watched him while growing up. What dreams are made of ❤️ https://s3a.sofifa.net/fb6ea04a9a940964a94b169fcbd72f796b412208.jpg

If u think prime hazard was overrated football ain't for u, ur prob a stat merchant who sits on a sofa judging players. Mbappe is a better athlete tho and he's a player Real Madrid would love as he scores goals. I seen all ur comments hating on hazard are u obsessed with him or something especially when messi, Ronaldo, Zidane, and neymar said great stuff about him so who tf are u?💀

Zidane

89/91. He will never be better than a 91 rated player. Last season was probably the best he'll ever be. Unless he improves on literally every aspect of his game which seems unlikely since he's just not that talented. His physicality and speed will wear out with the years and he has nothing to offer other than that atm

Omg how did I forgot Tshabalalala. I take that back now.

you have 0 ideea about what you re talking. No one was better than messi no matter how hard you cope

People who say he deserves a Ballon D'or need some sense smacked into them. How can a player who has ZERO TROPHIES in 14 YEARS AS A PROFESSIONAL be considered for a nomination, let alone the actual accolade? "Oh but he's a good passer and playmaker, he contributes much more than goals, he's a complete player" Ok, where is Lee McCulloch's Ballon D'or? He too played everywhere on the pitch and did alot for the clubs he's played for + he, you know, won trophies, yet I've never seen him get nominated for the BDO once

You did NOT just use FIFA stats as a indication to how good players are lmao

He ain't the next messi but how tf u got 15 upvotes for that💀 musiala is a baller. We all see yamal talent but what has yamal done to be compared to messi too? Yamal ofc is younger but musiala done far more than him and way more proven.

relax when he goes to madrid he will win 3-4 balon de oro in a row easily

Criticism is fair but people are harsh on him ovs he ain't gonna be as good as messi or Ronaldo but even seen it with Bellingham, Vini, Haaland etc whenever they have a bad game they all get alot of harsh criticism we all know Mbappe is gone in the summer but I must say he wasn't as good these last 2 ucls games as expected

He's already scoring such amounts in Saudi Arabia there is no need for him to move to a even less lucrative league

Ronaldo... no one will deny that you are one of the best players in history but you have to admit that your career in Arabia is sh*t.. literally won nothing important

"Hard to compete against the corruption" https://s3a.sofifa.net/dba39365eedee3688b74414cf70a1865c4481a44.jpg Penaldo fanboys creating their own hapiness

I think Ronaldo was a great player in his prime but to call him the goat is crazy. To be the goat he would have to change his name to Lionel Andrés Messi be born in Rosario, Argentina. HE WOULD HAVE TO to win eight Ballon d'Or awards, six European Golden Shoes, benamed the world's best player for a record eight times by FIFA. HE WOULD HAVE TO win a a club-record 34 trophies, including ten La Liga titles, seven Copa del Rey titles, and the UEFA Champions League four times. And With his country, he would have to win 2021 Copa América and the 2022 FIFA World Cup. HE WOULD HAVE TI BE A prolific goalscorer and creative playmaker. HE WOULD HAVE TO HOLD the records for most goals (474), hat-tricks (36), and assists in La Liga (192). He WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE MOST international goals by a South American male AND SCORE over 800 senior career goals for club and country, and the most goals for a single club (672).

91/95 against dominated teams, 75/80 in hard games.

It was actually so bad. No power and the run up wasn't good. Credit to Lunin, very interesting keeper but that was trash from Bernardo

Even when he plays a meh game (for his standards), his impact is huge. Absolute legend.

Let’s not forget he was bought to replace Ronaldo and I can whole-heartedly say that he is really like that. He is really one of them ones. World class. Probably the best winger in the world

absolutey crazy stat https://twitter.com/Football__Tweet/status/1778350022792200593

I'd still pick Henry at this point, although there is some serious nostalgia bias. Purely based on performances, impact on the game, touch of genius, worldies scored and trophies won, De Bruyne has to be a close contender. One of the very best players of this century.

Honestly I don't think Henry is clear anymore. The debate is legitimate at this point

American flag detected, opinion rejected

OMG!!! Julián, is under performing! OMG!!! he's now sh*t, lower his potential JESUS CHRIST!! Players are NOT MACHINES, they can not always be on their highest level. It's not too hard to understand...

you truly haven t watched argentina then, messi was their best player by far especialy in his prime, the others were so shit compared to him. he was creating chances for them every time by himself and they fucked them up

Listen to me, the goat has already won everything there is to win, he wants to enjoy with his family, live calmly, relaxed and without pressure. He has already grown, won and brought the most important thing, which is the World Cup, which is a cup that very few have the privilege of knowing how much it weighs. Stop talking nonsense and go back to your cave.

by y’all logic, lukaku is the goat with 14 goals in this qualifiers

are you insane, every creative player loses the ball at least a dozen times a game 😂

For me he sits on one table with Xavi, Pirlo, Scholes and maybe Fabregas and Xabi. As pure Playmakers. (Excluding more dynamic players like Iniesta, Zidane, De Bruyne, Modric, ... since they have a different profile)

honestly i feel like if he didnt lose his kid in 2022, he wouldn't have fallen off that year. that forsure fucked him up

Trait 'trickster' is so fitting. Tricked his whole fanbase into believing he's the GOAT

My idol got bodied by his former coach 😭😭 https://s3a.sofifa.net/162258e7ad628e935ebff493014d7bbd9f37ee1e.jpg

Mbappe was not even the best player for France let alone WC, and the fact that you said Iniesta and Xavi, two of them. Spain as a team was great with great players but Messi had better 2010 year. Argentina was not champion only because Messi, but without Messi Argentina wouldn't have won the WC, he was the point of difference. Messi was the best PSG player, you need to watch the games. What do you do in clubs is important as what you do in WC. Haaland was not even best City player, its either Rodri or KDB.

I agree, hence why I wouldn't give me the Ballon d'Or this season. Do not fully agree about him not being a capable Ballon d'Or winner in the future tho

you probably think Jorginho deserved the Ballon D'or too because he won the euro and champions and was class for chelsea

"He didn't deserve to win in 2010, Sneijder did, I don't think anyone who was watching at the time can argue that" Sneijder wasn't Inter's best player nor was he the best player at the World Cup + the people watching at the time voted him 4th overall so I have no idea what you're talking about here. "In 2019 Van Dijk deserved it but these awards are never given to defenders" No he didn't, just because Messi was only slightly better doesn't mean he didn't deserve it. Also it has been given to defenders. "but for most of the year he was bang average and PSG did nothing" Ok, name all the games you watched Messi play for PSG last season. Clearly have no idea what you're talking about. "There's a strong arguement for Lewandowski winning it in 2021 also, in my opinion I think he did" lol, name all the games you watched either of them play that season. Messi was clear that year.

In 2012, Messi with about 120 Goal contributions didn't win UEFA Best Award, you didn't complain. In 2013, Ronaldo won the Ballon d’Or with 0 Trophies, you didn't call it rigged. In 2014, Ronaldo couldn't make it out of the Group Stage of the World Cup but won the Ballon d’Or, you didn't call it rigged. In 2016 and 2017, Messi had the best statistics but Ronaldo won because of Trophies, you celebrated. In 2018, Messi again had the best statistics in Europe and still finished 5th but you were happy. In 2021, Messi just won the Copa América for his Country and also had good statistics in Europe, still didn’t win the FIFA The Best Award, you didn’t say a single word. The hatred on Lionel Messi is indeed too much. But the more you hate, the more he keeps hurting you

2010 Sneijder😭😭😭😭

HOY EL FUTBOL SE RINDE ANTE MESSI

The last few games he’s been playing in a midfield 3 with Gallagher and Caicedo, not CAM

95 for someone who 80% of his goals are tap in?

https://sofifa.com/player/13445456/luka-modric the card he should of had in his prime, not 86 dribbling same as kai havertz and Antony, way too low🤦🏻‍♂️

Unpopular opinion: If Ronaldo played in the 2011-2014 Barcelona's sides and Messi played in (any of) the 2011-2018 Real Madrid's sides... Messi would still prove he's individually better than Ronaldo. . In fact, Messi would prove individually better than Ronaldo in ANY of the mid to top club sides in Europe.

enjoy football my man it's actually lit ngl

Thank you https://twitter.com/porqueTTarg/status/1714471818927431944?t=41FLS1fQrp9pRGr-wYinZw&s=19

Upvote if Messi is better

I really like Ronaldo but you have to admit the last good dribble he made was in 09' his dribbling is so bad now he doesnt even try!!

I have to agree with argentinian pal, India is no1 country in women assault, india has 100million muslim, they are dirty and if you dig in to their culture their hatred for the USA is similar to the middle east countries, I think they hate the US more than the Uk

Go to bed bro, its late in india
