>>157949724I had him ahead of messi at that time. If it wasnt for 2022 you could still argue him as goat.Hell even now id say 1 euro and 2 nations league are harder than 1 wc and 2 copas
>greatest of all time>at this pointmhm
>>157950005Anon..
>>157949724No. People who didn't actually watch games liked to argue he was.
>>157950051most fans don’t follow/care about LelLigaThose who just tuned into the big knockout cups saw him dominating and Messi choking year after year
>>157954400That’s why their opinion matters less.
>>157949869>Hell even now id say 1 euro and 2 nations league are harder than 1 wc and 2 copasEuropeans are delusional. Look at the bracket Portugal got at the 2016 Euros (Wales in the semifinals) and how badly they played (Portugal vs Croatia had zero shots on target from either team for 117 minutes). There's a reason teams like Slovenia and Turkey can make the knockout rounds at the Euros in 2024 and it's not because the Euros are harder.https://www.goal.com/en/news/this-is-not-football-portugals-euro-2016-victory-a-damning-indictment-on-sport/1ofxa1s2dk1rz1nb2cbhl6ba8r
>>157949724at his absolute PEAK he was maybe on track to be top 15-20 of all timeso no, he was not the GOAT at any point
>>157949724What do you even MEAN "at this point" when he is the greatest now and will reach the milleniary goal scored point and is called Christiano "God" Ronaldo for a very good reason ? ? ?
>>157949869If we are counting nations league then Messi's Olympic gold counts above
>>157954954Slovenia and turkey excellent football that tournament, especially for their standards
>>157949869lol
>>157959986>Slovenia>goodhttps://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28894498/fans-slovenia-star-fallon-dfloor-horror-dive-portugal/Turkey was the first country eliminated at the World Cup this year. It makes the Euros look bad when a team that had a fairly deep run in 2024 gets humiliated against the likes of Australia and Paraguay at the World Cup.
>>157959986Played* excellent
>>157949724>Dominating 2018 WCHow many goals did he score in the knockout stage?
Goat in penalties
>>157949724>Euros with PortugalThe biggest Mickey Mouse run ever, and he didn’t play in the final (for more than seven minutes)>dominated the World CupGroup stageBut yes, you are right. Messi had the upper hand prior to like 2015, but it was an even duel. Then Ronaldo seemed to gain the upper hand with his CL success while Messi left banter-Barcelona to disappoint at PSG while crying over and over with ArgentinaHowever, this period didn’t last long enough. It still is fun and also kind of unfair how the 2022 World Cup changed the entire narrative forever, though
The amount of energy browns pour into these two is truly an amazing sight, it's like some sort of global psyop to keep browns from inventing nuclear bombs by spending their entire lives fighting about which of these has-beens was better at kicking balls
>>157949724>Euros with PortugalTypical case with Penaldo. When you look at the most general of statistics he looks like he did something. But then as much as a closer glance at them and you see it's all group stage performances, penalty goals, statpadding against Luxemburg and being a bus rider.
>>157960776Cope and seethe.
>>157949869No one cares about the Nations league
