Some great posts on this thread particularly on Rivaldo who has always gone under the radar. In terms of career, I would go Rivaldo > Ronaldinho...
It was an honour watching this man play since 2005. I remember a buddy of mine back then when we were still in high school said this kid is going...
My father knew Sekularac personally. He was a flamboyant footballer and person. Kind of a folk hero in Serbia among older generations that...
They got thrashed with Messi as well. See for me Messi is the GOAT or in terms of peak play he's definitely the best player to step on the...
This. Virtually all of Messi's missed CL games are from like 2006. Let's look at missed CL KO games in their primes. Messi 2013 SF 2nd Leg vs....
We were talking about WC winning teams. In what universe is Germany 2020 and Spain 2020 a WC winning team? Just because those national teams won...
Germany and Spain were mediocre at the time Ronaldo scored against them and did not resemble WC champions one bit. Against France he scored 2...
Hmm of course Ronaldo played off ball when other people on his team did the playmaking. Messi was the playmaker. Anyways I appreciate the...
Umm.. Messi has a way better record against WC winning teams and at major international tournaments. What are you talking about here?
Tell me the source of the data so I can look myself and you don't have to post it. Although I'm wondering. Even IF it's true and Ronaldo...
I don't know. I hardly ever saw any numbers for Messi or Ronaldo before your post.
You linked two random matches. And yet you "conclusively" answered the questions. Ok...
Fair enough. I did advocate for non-penalty goals but not as a sole statistic. It should be indicated though and my bad for not including the...
With penalties they are the same -- both tied at 0.86 per 90. Penalties are easier goals to score but they are still goals.
Ronaldo only has 17 Opta assists. I used MessivsRonaldo.app which has Opta assists. I generally don't remove PK's although you can argue I...
Combine all knockout stage matches (CL + WC + Euro/Copa). Messi: 89 contributions (59 G 30 A) in 9327 minutes (0.86 G + A per 90) Ronaldo: 87...
Did you see their respective numbers in knockout stages of international tournaments, namely World Cup and Euro/Copa... I'll give you the short...
I think Messi in 2012-13 might be the best league campaign in history. Imagine if he didn't miss a bunch of matches with injuries at the end. He...
How about while Messi and Ronaldo were in Spain, goals against top 3 and top 5 sides in La Liga. Messi is a bit better against top 5 sides but...
Declined as a goalscorer after 2012? No he didn't. His 2012-13 season was his most prolific scoring season and 2014-15 was his 3rd most...
Yep and more recent votes are even more one-sided. Ronaldo got like a 40% split from like 2016-2018. Now he probably gets less than 10%.
Yea but how come Messi was scoring lots of KO stage goals from 2010-2012 then suddenly forgot to do it? Surely the team quality has something to...
Not quite. He scored 22 CL goals (18 without PK) than Messi from 2010 to 2018. But Real Madrid scored 41 CL goals more than Barca in that span....
Both in Spain (09-10 to 17-18) - Goals Per 90 Minutes La Liga: Messi -- 1.14 p90 (1.00 -PK p90) Ronaldo -- 1.12 p90 (0.90 -PK p90) Champions...
