Honestly it’s crazy how Ronaldo is still this good at 38, he found joy again after that toxic united spell and now united fans realize he wasn’t the problem but the guy was really going through it all the way until the end of the World Cup and the entire world turned on him. Then Messi won the World Cup after Argentina were gifted unlimited penalty kicks and then this subreddit just went bat shit insane acting as if Ronaldo was always shit. Then anytime Messi flicks a ball this subreddit loses its mind and says “it was never in contention Messi the goat!” The bias here is so insane
Did you even see his dribble vs Peru and Australia ? the pass vs Netherlands ? The assist vs Croatia ? The goal vs Australia ? The goal vs Mexico ? These are all in just last 10 months. Do you really think Cristiano was a good player in the world cup ? When was the last time Cristiano did something and you thought "well only he can do something like this "
This means he IS not that good of a player he ever WAS. He was. Age happens. It will happen to Messi too. The bias is there because majority of people prefer Messi over Cristiano. There can be tons of reasons to that but that's a fact.
Last 6 matches of messi were against opponents ranked 22,38,27,38,45,90.
Cristiano last 7 matches are against - 2 against (199) ranked, 2 against (85) ranked, and 48,63,67.
This is all from last 10 months. Seeing this can you really infer he is the best player right now ? He hasn't scored against a team ranked <48 in these 10 months.
messi is a friendly merchant , see the competitive international stats
