A few years back he was calling Messi the best ever,and calling Ronaldo a child in one of the newspapers.ALL OF A SUDDEN, Ronaldo’s his best mate! Why didn’t Ronaldo’s advisers tell him what sort of journalist he was going to give interviews to.Morgan specialises in sensationalism.He used to slag off Gazza regularly and several Arsenal players have had a go at him.He’s not even popular with supporters of the club he supports,Arsenal, especially after the way he slaughtered Mikel Arteta last season,calling for him to be sacked.A scumbag journalist.

    He said winning a world cup doesn't make the greatest player, yet then contradicts himself by saying Maradona was greater than Messi, which he's obviously basing on Maradona winning the world cup... Also, while I agree winning a world cup doesn't make someone the best; given it's a team trophy, neither does doing it in different leagues. What makes Messi superior to Ronaldo is that he's always been the better footballer, who as a result provides more for his team. Ronaldo at his peak was much more than just the poacher he's become, yet his greatness has always been defined far more by goals than Messi. Some of Messi's best ever performances have come in games where he hasn't scored, while Ronaldo's iconic matches are big games where he's scored goals. Messi has always been a far superior dribbler, is able to dictate the play with his passing, and has exceptional vision. For him at 35 to be doing what he is at this world cup just underlines further why he's the best ever.

    Let's be honest if Lionel Messi had told Piers Morgan that he had great abs like Ronaldo did and did a sit down interview with him he'd be saying Messi was the best.
    Both Ronaldo and Messi are 2 of the greatest of all time, however the difference is when you watch Ronaldo on the pitch he's an incredible goal scorer but when you watch Messi you're watching an artist at work. Not just his goals but his assists, his vision, his manipulation of the ball is incredible.

Messi single handedly won the games against Serbia, Iran and Nigeria, made the magic play against Switzerland, played the pass of the tournament to De Maria against Holland, and in the final put it on plate for Higuaín to win the game in regulation time but Higuaín missed a sitter. Messi was head and shoulders above any other player in the tournament and had 4 MOTM awards, but the footballing genius that is Morgan calls that "not turning up". His comment can't be taken seriously, he's just paid to push Ronaldo, and the fact that Ronaldo needs mouths for hire like Morgan speaks volumes.

    There literally isn't a debate, in terms of watching them and footballing ability Messi is so much better, Ronaldo has managed to get in the debate by scoring 819 career goals which is incredible, but that is the only thing he has over Messi, more goals, and Messi is only 28 goals behind him despite playing 143 less games, and playing as a midfielder most of the time, apart from the goals stats, there really is no comparison, Messi is by far the GOAT. ON the biggest stage, the world cup, Messi has dragged Argentina to 2 finals in 8 years and the one in between they were beaten 4-3 by the champions France with a shocking team, and Messi has got several goals and assists in the knockouts of world cup games, and has scored in the last 16, QF and SF of this world cup alone and Ronaldo in 5 world cups has never scored or assisted in a knockout game.

    What's ironic is some try to claim CR is on another level to Messi when it comes to performing in the biggest games, yet ignore that on the biggest stage of them all, Ronaldo has failed to even score or assist a single world cup knockout goal. Meanwhile, Messi now has 9 combined goals/assists in world cup knockout games. Other than one standout game against Spain, Ronaldo has never been able to replicate his club form at world cups. The fact some regarded CR as a better performer at international level, due to his goal record, was always completely flawed. Most of those goals came in qualifying, against some of the worst footballing nations around. The majority of those goals were against sides like Lithuania, Latvia, Luxembourg, Armenia, Andorra, Faroe Islands, etc. Messi doesn't face sides anywhere near that weak in his qualifying group. Not to mention, Messi has had more standout tournaments for his country and won 3 best player awards at those, while Ronaldo has never won any.

    It’s such a pointless debate that will seemingly never end. Stats aside, it really comes down to who do you prefer watching? For me it’s Messi every day of the week. Messi reminds me of that one kid at school, who you could never get the ball off and way just miles better than everyone else. I’m sure everyone has played football with someone like that at some point. The difference is Messi has been doing that at the highest level for years. For me, there’s just a level of excitement you get when Messi is on the ball and he’s dribbling past 3 or 4 defenders and nobody can touch him. He’s scored some ridiculous solo goals, but for me it’s not just the goals, it’s the ability to spot a pass and play the ball with perfect weight for the receiving players. He seems to spot passes and be one step ahead all the time. Some of his assists are more beautiful than the goals he’s scored. Ronaldo is phenomenal, no doubt about that, but this GOAT debate comes down to personal preference and for me it’s Messi. I know it won’t but I just wish this debate would go away and we could all just appreciate that we’ve witnessed two of the most sensational players to have ever played the game, playing at the same time. Both are nearing the end of their careers, so let’s just be thankful that we witnessed those careers in their entirety. It will be a long time until we see the likes of either of them again.

    And beyond stats it was clear to me since 2008/2009 that Messi has been the better player, with superior ability in terms of dribbling, passing, creating space, linking up and involving other players etc. I can think of many more matches when Messi hasn’t scored but has still been the best player on the pitch or at least excellent, than Ronaldo.

    Yet these people argue some premier league superiority. Messi is simply better any how you want to look at this argument. Messi does not need to play in PL as he has shown superiority over the best PL teams in the champions league. Fake experts please grow some sense. This debate ended in April 2008 before it even began.

    Messi is above Ronaldo in almost every important individual stat. Goals per game, assists per game, goal participation rate, goals outside the box, free kick goals, goals per shot, shots on target, dribble success rate/defenders dribbled passes per chance, average match rating, and has almost double man of the match awards than Ronaldo. It’s not even close on an individual performance.
    I love Ronaldo, he has incredible footwork, insane power and some of the best goals I’ve ever seen, and impressive accolades, but Messi is the better player all around without question for me.

      He missed the summer preseason training with the team, so his is not conditioned well to compete. On top of that there is fallout with the team and be lost a son. Both physically and mentally he is not ready. But don’t believe those haters who claims his time is up. If you watched his game with Ghana, dude was still leaping with 40 inches crazy verticals. His body is still in elite top condition better. He just needs time to regain the feel of playing on the field. But given the current media fallout he has with Manchester United and his high salary, I doubt there will be any top European league teams willing to take him. I hope CR7 he is willing to take a low profile for now and maybe voluntarily cut his salary in half or something in exchange for playing as key core player on some teams--that might save his career.

    Piers is being selective and arbitrary when he cited scoring records across multiple leagues as the factor that proves CR7 is the greater footballer. I could counter that in most all those records, CR7 was waiting for - nay, expecting - passes and assists to chalk up his numbers. I could counter with an appeal to assists+goals. I could counter with an appeal to how many opponents the footballer dribbled through (not just outrun) to culminate in goals. The list goes on. And in fact, the longer that list, the more complete the player and who would have the bagging rights then? Piers describes his take as 'forensic'. He needs to live among people who talk and live with solid statistics on a daily basis before he starts fantasising that his thinking is 'forensic' when his whole life is built only on mouthing off faster and louder than the other person.

      Ronaldo is a great striker - he is good at one aspect of the game. Messi is just as good a finisher but Ronaldo can't touch him when it comes to creation from midfield. Ronaldo is a technician - a great one - but Messi is a football artist, who can be influential from anywhere on the field.

  • @NoirFan84
    @NoirFan84 Год назад +8

    LOL. Very selective about what he choices to acknowledge. The "Messi has only done it in one league" argument doesn't hold up at all when you think of how he's scored 27 goals in 35 games against English sides in Europe & that's only by playing the top sides from the PL, can you image the amount he'd score vs the others? People can't honestly be trying to say Messi needed to prove he could do it against the likes of Villa, Newcastle & Southampton. Give me a break. Piers owns himself when he says Ronaldo is two years older too because Messi's career goal to game ratio is far better than Ronaldo's anyway, he's played nearly 150 less games than Ronaldo & has only about 28 goals fewer but he also, with in mind having played nearly 150 games fewer, has well over 100 more assists. Messi's only played a small part of his career in the striker role too whilst Ronaldo played 90% of his career in it. Messi has now featured in two World Cup Finals, Ronaldo none. It's hilarious that Piers says Messi always played with great players around him too like that's a defence against Ronaldo as though Ronaldo didn't. LOL. The only time of his career Ronaldo didn't have world-class players all around him was at United in the last couple of years.

If you think Messi hasn't had to put up with a lot of tough tackles in his near 20 year career then you must've watched very little of him. He rarely gets injured either & just gets up, dusts himself off & gets on with it. Half the time players are scared to commit to trying to tackle him too because he usually leaves them in the dust, that's when he's not just holding them off like he did Gvardiol last night. I find all the arguments against Messi very weak. This player is insane, has done insane thinks all his career. Ridiculously good footballer.
