Synolick06 Posted July 10 #2 Posted July 10 It really depends on the era and what you value more, pure goals or overall playmaking.
Emmanbiroo Posted July 10 #7 Posted July 10 Messi is the greatest of all time in terms of everything achievable in football that’s why he is the goat
cyclops7 Posted July 10 #13 Posted July 10 For me it was ronaldo but sadly, messi is better then him in endurance. Ronaldo is washed now
Tycys Posted July 11 #17 Posted July 11 dont sleep on how CR7 reinvented himself from flashy winger to pure poacher, that discipline is unreal. still messi for me bc his vision is like a cheatcode i swear you can watch games only looking at him off ball and learn something.
thornva Posted July 11 #18 Posted July 11 Messi all day but what really sold me was that game where he just stood still for like 2 minutes watching the defense scramble before a pass, no one else has that level of patience
rexrioria Posted July 11 #19 Posted July 11 messi is the goat for me but honestly ronaldo's hedaing ability is so underrated, guy flies like a salmon
Kovaast Posted July 11 #20 Posted July 11 Messi for sure but what alwways gets me is how he makes the defenders look like theyre moving in slow motion, not just from speed but with those little feints and touches. I saw him live once in a friendly and even just warming up you could tell he was operating on a totally diffrent wavelength.
cedarvar Posted July 11 #21 Posted July 11 Messi too but here is a underrated metric: check their passing maps in big UCL finals, CR7s movement off ball forced systems to adapt but Messi would literally drop deep and drag 3 players just to open a lane for Alba or Suarez, coaching players to watch that is a cheatcode
ivoryver361 Posted July 11 #22 Posted July 11 Feels like a cop out to just say Messi but it is what it is, the way he destroyed that stacked Madrid side almost solo in that 2017 clasico is permanently burned in my brain. Always backed the handicap on him cuz even when odds dropped, you knew he would just cover it casually.
hollowan Posted July 11 #23 Posted July 11 I gotta go Messi too. For me it's the way he sees passes that simply don't exist for anyone else, like his brain runs a dfiferent operating system or something.
luxni Posted July 11 #24 Posted July 11 honestly i never got the whole debate, they both just play different sports in my head. one is a pure forward machine and the other seems to wander arund inventing new geometry or something.
phantick96 Posted July 11 #25 Posted July 11 Honestly I respect the Messi love but I think people sleep on how Ronaldo adapted his whole game across three top leagus while still dominating, that kind of reinvention is borderline freakish and never gets enough credit.
