      I would say Messi never needed his pace to be effective. Messi way of dribbling, which is different than any other player I've seen, relies on his ability to react to body movements. He never needed pace or even space to be effective. He creates them by 2-3 touches which fools the defender while he cuts in the other direction. This skill comes down to 2 things, great intelligence/awareness + superb low body strength. His intelligence will always be there, but the low body strength is diminishing. Prime Messi dont need that extra space to beat Gvardiol, his thigh muscles are stronger than almost any player, and when he turns, it is physically impossible for the defender to follow because of his low center of gravity ie Boateng in 2015. Its crazy to have thought even with his age, he could still produce these type of moments to remind us how special he is.

    Race for Golden Boot:
    Messi, ARG (5, 3)
    Mbappe', FRA (5, 2)
    Giroud, FRA (4)
    Alvarez, ARG (4)
    Usually awarded to the Highest goal scorer in FIFA world cup.
    However, if there is a TIE then the number of successful assists are also seen, in which case Messi has 3 assists with 5 goals and Mbappe has 2 assists with 5 goals .
    If that too ties, then 3 additional parameters are used - "number of minutes played", "quality of goals" and "degree of difficulty " are looked at while scoring the goals as well as the "impact it had for the team".
    If there is a TIE between for example Messi & Mbappe' Golden Boot should go to Mbappe' simply bcoz Mbappe played less minutes than Messi (Mbappe came as substitute for 1 match much later).
    Also, 3 out of 5 Messi's goals came from penalty kicks in matches against KSA, NED, CRO),
    If you analyze the goals carefully, Mbappe's (5) and Alvarez's (4) goals were of highest quality, followed by Giroud and then Messi.
    Hence, it teams of quality of goals highest being first , lowest being last:
    Mbappe (5)
    Alvarez (4)
    Giroud (4)
    Messi (5)
    If Messi scores more than the other 3, he will win although 3 of his 5 goals have come from penalty kicks, but in case of TIE based on goals & assists, I think it would be unfair to give Messi Golden Boot in my opinion.
    The twist is if both Alvarez and Giroud score 1 goal each resulting in 4 way TIE on number of goals or either of them score 2 goals leaving both Mbappe or Messi out of the race !!

Do not start with statistics because Ballon d Or in his time he can not win because was sud american and was ineligible. and in that time only 3 foreign players was alloud in each squad. Now Messi and Ronaldo have superstars as team mates. And by the way from 12 ballon d Or between him and Ronaldo at least 5 of them must go to other players like Xavi Iniesta Riberry.Maybe only Pele is equal to Maradona.

      @@thefan974Thanks. By all due respect for messi just imagine ronaldo would have played such a bad season like messi did last year, they would rip him apart in the media . That's exactly the point, people are just waiting for something like that and then take it as an argument that Messi is now better than Ronaldo. People need to switch off their black and white thinking and understand that there are people with different opinions and views. And we don't even need to go into much detail and say "but messi that and ronaldo that but messi won that and ronaldo won that" just shut up, they both have such different playing styles, different physiques, different attitudes in the game, different careers from the beginning to the end , different clubs , different images in the media from the arrogant Ronaldo to the shy, quiet Messi. So you can never compare them 1:1 but what you can say is that they both have dominated the game in their own way for the last 15-20 years. Some people seem like they are on a math test and have now figured out the perfect formula what the best result is (the best player) and now that Ronaldo has been eliminated from the World Cup and Messi is in the final they now think they have the perfect result as if that would have been the only point who is now the best footballer.

      I don’t think people will give much value in future considering Ronaldo at this time is 37 years old. Which is a retirement time for almost every footballer. But if Messi manages to win this WC… Then I think it’s fair enough to put Messi above anyone else.

    Yes he is,Ronaldo has so much gifts physically like height and more shot power but his drible and ball control is not near Messi.
    You can pratice shot and improve but drible and ball control like Messi has there are millions who could try to practice and 1 can do it,if players like Ronaldo are good then Messi is really a rare player these days and i fear for football because talent is dying fast.

    I hate the "proverbial rainy night in stoke" argument because it completely favors one type of player. To be fair, I think logically you would have to choose Ronaldo in that situation for his physical stature and ability to score goals in the air, etc. If you think about what attributes of player are negated by conditions, it would be touch, finesse, and precision with the football. If you were to rephrase that and ask "two perfect pitches, bring a player on to win you the game" it would clearly be Messi because what he can do with the football (assist and score) is unbelievable. Absolutely one of a kind. And I think ultimately that is a damning factor for this argument, you have to use conditions to give Ronaldo the advantage.

  • @awfan221
    @awfan221 Год назад +2

    At some point, one was better than the other over last 15 years. Overall though, beyond just stats, I see it like this. CR7 is an elite goalscorer, has been very clutch over his career, and to me is the better goalscorer than Messi (proved it across multiple leagues). However, Messi is an elite goalscorer AND elite playmaker/chance creator. CR7 is nowhere near Messi in the playmaking/chance creation aspect of the game. Messi is the bow and arrow, CR7 is the arrow. That's how I see their careers, and it's why I rate Messi ahead of CR7

      @@georgemcdougall7260 You have to contextualize statistics though, can't just read them off. CR7 has been an elite goalscorer in La Liga, EPL, Seria A, UCL, and for Portugal. Messi has been an elite goalscorer in La Liga, UCL, Argentina, and looking like Ligue 1 too this season. Arguably you can add world cup scoring for Messi too, which swings things somewhat, but I still rate CR7 slightly ahead in goalscoring because of UCL knockouts and the number of leagues.
