Messi or Ronaldo - Who's best

[Armagh18]

Did he not lose a child this year too? Bound to have a huge impact on him.

Absolutely.

It's like someone above wanted to really draw a line under this debate. Messi was always seen as the beat, but then over the past 6 or 7 years it was Ronaldo who turned into the super clutch player of the two when it came to CL knockout stages and international football. Even at the end of last season, Ronaldo scoring in the PL and Messi barely able to buy a goal in an easier league. How things have completely changed in a few months, with Ronaldo being dropped at United, unable to score and then the big exit. It seemed like he would answer his critics at the World Cup, it definitely seemed impossible that he would have such a bad world cup and be dropped, given his status both globally and in Portugal. But his nightmare continues, the worst run/period in his career has happened to coincide with Messi winning the thing that differentiates careers. Couldn't make it up.

That's probably on the then PSG manager Pochettino. Should be a league Messi scores for fun in and only managed six Ligue 1 goals last season.

Did he even get that many? Looked finished and disinterested last season, think he'd been playing really well this season though and obviously had a great world cup

Messi fairly good this world cup but his PSG buddy the stand out player of the world cup.

Yeah some record that lad and he's what 24? Will have great chance to win the next world cup and will likely break goal scoring record at some point. Was quiet the last couple of games and for 80 mins today but that second goal was unreal. 3 penalties scored in the one game must be a record too

Sure didn't Ronaldo hardly play  for 2 or 3 years  , then wins  the World Cup in 2002 scoring  a hatful

"Fairly good". His vision was phenomenal. The sublime he made look easy- he was more than fairly good. His PSG buddy will be great, and probably is already, but he wasn't as good in this world cup as Messi was.

Ronaldo was the master of his own down fall. No preseason then looking a transfer. You don't go from 24 goals a season to nothing in a few months if you put in the hard yards. Reap what you sow. Messi looked gone last season but proved himself. He was very good in the world cup

Deffo end of an era now. Messi, CR7, Benzema all out of Europe, Ibra too

[gawa316]

What sort of money would he be on? Thought he would've ended up in Saudi Arabia. No idea if it's true but just saw that Kante will be on 1.6 mil a week after his move there.

First link i clicked into said 1.2billion euro for 2yrs....

Yep, the greatest player the game has ever seen of to a retirement home. I genuinely do not believe we will ever see his likes on a field again

Fox's presenter Brian Kilmeade on Messi coming to Inter Miami.   

The only thing I worry about is he doesn't speak English and I want to see him sit down and talk.  David Beckham learned to speak English for us or be it with a funny accent
