    Imagine if Roberto wouldn’t have been sent off. We could’ve won this match tbh. That Madrid team can definitely be beaten and is a shaky team.

    I think Messi pretty much secured la liga top scorer with that. CR would need 9 goals in 3 games to prevent that and thats if Messi doesnt get any.

    And the European golden shoe is pretty much wrapped up too. Two goals up on Salah and 4 up on Immobile & Lewa now, and Messi would win the tiebreaker against any of them.

    If you're "Liverpool of course" then why do you come here to post anti-Barca/pro-Madrid stuff?
    Angry that Suarez left your team?

    Yep, he has no business scoring when Varane and Ramos are on him.

    Every time you post here it's always anti-Barca/pro-Madrid. From a Liverpool fan. Why bother?

    Or is it because you're Portuguese and can't stand the fact that Messi is regarded as the best player of all-time?

    Dude might be a Liverpool-Real Madrid fanboy. I’m not surprised because I’ve seen many Liverpool fanboys support Madrid. Looks like HalaGGMU trend died.

    Well, none of Ronaldo (for most of his career), Pele, Zico were actual strikers. Zico actually played a similar role to Messi scoring goals and also play making with a vast array of passing skills.

    Yeah Zico comes closest of Messi in style of play probably. For playmaking I mean advancing play by passing and dribbling. Fakenaldo isn't a playmaker, possibly two first seasons, then he became striker trying to match Messi's goal output, and nowadays is a poacher.

    Technically striker is the center man. I'd say for most of his career Ronaldo has been winger/forward. Not traditional winger, but the modern inverted wingers that are common nowadays. Let's not forget also that Messi for around 4 seasons was playing more of the false 9 (striker) role while Ronaldo was playing more like a winger.
