Is Stevie the new Messi? Ronaldo can’t hold a candle to him!

Messi has an impressive scoring ratio, but what about the DAD strike force? 75 in 96 between them. What’s the ratio on that? Must be better than Messi’s?

That meant to say… “cant hold a candle to Messi.”

Ive never seen Stevie play- so dont know if he’s the best player of his generation.

I agree Stevie. He cant hold a candle to Stevie.
Good player tho Ronaldo is, its a pity for him that he is in the same generation as Messi- who will go down in history as the greatest player to ever play the game. I fully believe that!

I think Ronaldo knows that too. Thats why he’s so desperate to win WPOTY this year- as he probably wont get a chance again.

Plus last stats i saw:
Ronaldo – 97 career goals in 269 games.
Messi – 43 career goals in 112 games.

That equals: Ronaldo one goal every 2.77 games and Messi with a goal every 2.6 games.

So even Ronaldo’s amazing goal-scoring exploits last season dont put him ahead of Messi. Despite it being oft quoted as why he is the better player.

This season, Messi has scored 15 goals and has 13 assists in 16 games.
Think Ronaldo got 2 assists all year, last season.

And we all know Stats prove everything.

I think what matters more with Ronaldo is not how people perceive him now, but how he’ll be revered in generations to come.

If he can continue with the same form of last season along with the same level of tosspot antics for the rest of his career, he’ll go down in history as the player of his time, with the kind of mixture of genius and arrogance that George Best or Diego Maradona are best remembered for.

there is no denying the boy is a quality player, but recently he has been acting like a right arrogant twat. Walking around like he owns the field.

I had a good discussion yesterday about play acting and we came up with the solution. If a player goes injured then he must spend 5 minutes of the pitch for treatment, this will stop all play acting and the game will become better for it!
