Messi "best player of all time"

[CrabbyPaddy]

You old enough to see Diego Maradona a world cup by himself right ?

Nah, unfortunately not!

That’s why he is the best I’ve seen in this generation. I also don’t like making comparisons with previous greats like Pelé, Eusebio, Maradona, etc because I’ve only watched clips.

In saying that, if he had Ronaldo’s balls they wouldn’t have lost that tonight.

Sod messi, the turd.

Many can name at least 3, 4 or 5 from world cup winning squads from at least 1966 onwards.
Ask to name the same amount from the argentina side of 86. Many struggle to get past Maradona.

Messi is not better than Ronaldo.

He is useless when away from home and under pressure.

 

[davek]

Bottler.

Let's have this nonsense ended now. Ronaldo or Maradona nails that tie in the second leg.

He's about 8th or 9th on the all time roll of honour.

 

[polish]

Not fit to lace Ronaldo’s boots. Carried by the geniuses of Iniesta, Xavi and company of other world stars.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Ronaldo would have been all over the RS.
A player with personality, arrogance and speed to burn.

 

[LocalNative]

Behave you lot. This the same Ronaldo knocked out by Ajax this season? Messi surrounded by utter turd tonight and the only player that looked like he could maybe do something - albeit being incredibly greedy.

He's the real GOAT.

 

[goodisonopheliac]

Even he couldn't carry that team on his own tonight.

 

[Black Belt Jones]

Leadership qualities of a blancmange. Can't even criticise him for it really as it's just not in his nature.

GoaT means a player that puts the team on his back, in the most desperate of times, and Leads them to victory. Let's be honest he's nowhere near that conversation.

Ronaldo has none. Talented cheating wuss.

Anything that happened pre about 97 has no relevance

And Ajax are worse than Liverpool

Ronaldo was amazing at United and won the lot at Madrid. 3 CL on the bounce and has always beaten the RS. Won the Euros with Portugal.

Head and shoulders above Messi. Literally and in footballing terms.

 

[The Night King]

On another day might have had a goal or two.
Keeper saved one from him in the first half. In the second the keeper somehow kept it out again when Messi was unmarked at the back post, chested it down and hit it - should have scored really.
Then late in the game there was a last ditch block just as he hit a shot.

That Barca team will be a couple of levels below without him but even he couldn't get them through it tonight.

 

[ChesterBlue]

Horrible little cretin, hate him after tonight. The original Ronaldo would have been the best by a mile had it not been for injuries. That ‘98 - ‘02 Brazil team were a joy to watch
