I mean, I've watched some disastrous games from both Messi and Cr7, it's not like every single one of their +900 games has been a 10/10
This being said, and it might sound controversial I know, but I believe Haaland could reach Ronaldos level, he's already a world class finisher, is good in the air and has crazy top speed, only thing he lacks in comparison might be the dribbling alltough he doesn't really needs that when bulldozering through the defenders does the trick. This being said, he's still so young, maybe he develops some crazy techniques too. His biggest challange in this case would be to keep up with the numbers for 15+ seasons, but who's to say he can't do that.
Messis level on the other hand, is unreachable, for any human being. And every comparison between the two would just be unfair and not make much sense.
He could reach Cristiano's level in terms of goalscoring. But he stil has a loooooong. Way to go.
Yeah as I said, at least 15 season of consistent goal scoring and title winning
But who knows
He could win 20 golden boots and that still wouldn't mean he reached CR7's level. Hilarious how some think for some reason that it is somehow easier to beat Ronaldo as opposed to Messi. Unless someone new comes along and manages to win at least 5 Balons d'Or I'm sorry, but those 2 are pretty clearly unreachable.
I meant that, Haaland's best goalscoring season is still very far away from the numbers Messi and Cristiano put during their peak. So he still needs to get better than his current peak, and maintain the level for 15 years.
Yeah definitely, although you are comparing his first season in a top level team (no offense Dortmund lol) to the best numbers Messi and Ronaldo ever put up.
We would need to talk about this matter in like 7 years or so.
As if Bellingham wouldn’t be world class in every outfield position.
Scotland
I hate that there is even a chance of this happening, knowing Southgate
You say that as if Arteta hasn't also been rogue with Partey as a RB this season
Arsenal does not have 72 quality right backs on the bench while arteta plays ødegaard as a RB. Partey as RB cant be compared.
Also, the party was playing as an inverted RB, so he was in his natural position in midfield pretty much whenever they had possession of the ball anyway.
