Messi vs Ronaldo

LoL - not really. just posting what seems to be a hot topic on other websites - Ronaldo's failure to perform in important matches.

Messi is still leading the goal race :D
 
Great start to the season for Messi, so far he is 13 games 10 goals 8 assists.
 
Not incredible. Phenomonal. The guy is clearly the best footballer in the world. Has been for a while now.
 
Messi is leading the race so far. It is a long one, but i dont see Ronaldo matching Messi in performance.
 
Dont think Messi will win it. He was injured for most of last season.

Although people are noticing that Messi is the best player in the world.

Ronaldo Nothing Compared To Messi - Henry
Barcelona forward Thierry Henry has claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo does not deserve to win the Ballon D'Or this year and thrown his weight behind the bid of team-mate Leo Messi, whom he insists is the best player in the world...
In just over three weeks time, the announcement of European Footballer of the Year will be made, with Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo and Barça's Lionel Messi the front-runners competing for the prestigious Ballon D'Or prize.

Messi has claimed that either Xavi or Sergio Kun Aguero should take the award from the 30-man shortlist, while Ronaldo has plumped for himself as the most deserving nominee.

Now, Barcelona's French forward Thierry Henry has thrown his support behind his 21-year-old club colleague for the honour and hailed him as the 'best' player on the continent, and indeed, in the world.
The former Arsenal captain, who finished third in the Ballon D'Or pecking order in 2006 behind Italian duo Fabio Cannavaro and Gianluigi Buffon, told the press: "Messi is the best. What he does is from another world.

"He is exceptional.

"After watching Arsenal against Manchester United, I insist Cristiano Ronaldo is one thing and Messi is another.

"There is no comparison. Messi deserves to win the Ballon d'Or this year.
"
 
I cant remember him scoing 7 goals. Against what teams?

...and why do you say Ronaldo is having an ''off'' season?
 
I think it would be unfair to hand messi the Ballon'd'or as he has not won anything over the last year(does the olympics count?) while Ronaldo has won the Champions League and FA Premier League while scoring 40 odd goals.

Don't get me wrong, Messi is a better footballer imo, but Ronaldo had a better season.

Also dont think Ronaldo has scored 7:)
maybe off season = injured at the start.
Thats my one problem with comparing players over a season. One player mite have an injury while the other player goes on to play majority of his teams games. It's what happened last season but this season the tables are turned. Provided Messi can stay fit.
 
yip ronaldo is commin back slowly but surely from injury, n yip he has about 7 goals, 6 in premier league i think, dont count him out yet :)
 
Lets get it straight, the guy was not injured he had an "planned" operation 6 months ago, its far worse for a player to get injured and then need surgery to rectify it.
He could have gone another season with the "injury" he had and played most of last season with it.


As previously stated the manure fans are waiting for that big game to say now his fully recovered, in the mean time while his crap they say its because his injured.
 
You hit the nail on the head.

All of them are waiting for him to have a good game to say now he is back, until that happens - he will still be ''recovering''.
 
Well Ronaldo is tied for fifth place in the epl with 6 goals scored.

This is how the table looks, I doubt he will be 7th by the end of the week as the guys under him will get a goal in...
