Zatman Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I suppose thats why Ronaldo was signed. His Champions League knockout record is absolutely incredible the last few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I’ve always said Messi. But now Ronaldo is doing it at his third club and league I have to hand it to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 It really amazes me that he manages to score hat trick at the highest level at the age of 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an easier ask and Messi is (yet again) outperforming him on every level. Fair play to Ronaldo though - he carries on scoring big goals.

VillaChris Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Probably a boring opinion but just appreciate both while we can. Other great players will emerge over time (Mbappe is already here and winning World cups after all) but the seasons stats these two have been posting over last decade is simply incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 To be honest, there was an argument when Ronaldo was young that he would be anonymous in big games, especially the champs league for Man U. That changed in 2007-8 and he's so important to every team he's in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Its the longevity of both these greats that's is truly amazing. Phenomenal performance by Ronaldo last night, he is fantastic in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 isnt there some sort of crazy stat table thats "goals vs the top 4" in the premier league and messi is 3rd on it despite never actually playing here been argued every few pages, if messi was a shit club or a club that dominates a poor league then fair enough but he's not, he's at the biggest club in the world, why would he leave? and i also think its lacking a bit of analysis of how his role at barca has changed, they seemingly move him about every year and he still does it, xavi and iniesta have gone and he still does it, he's on about his 6th or 7th manager and he still does it, barca have changed while he's been there but he's remained consistently brilliant no matter how they use him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I think the most amazing thing about Ronaldo is his longevity. When he was about 22, his rivals for best young player in Premier League was Rooney, Fabregas, Torres and actually a lot of people would have rated all 3 ahead of Ronaldo at the time. He is older than all 3 and the only one still playing at the top level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 there's so much to digest on those stats! 1) aguero being so far out in front 2) vardy being 2nd, got some huge goals in their title winning season 3) obviously messi being 3rd 4) ronaldo not being on the list, i think ronaldo is fondly remembered here for his time at utd but to me he was still young, did some incredible stuff, some immature stuff but he only had that 1 year where he was properly ridiculous, i think he stepped up another couple of levels at madrid, in 5 out of his 6 seasons at united he wasnt in the conversation for best footballer of all time, i think his performances and achievements at madrid slightly muddy the waters as to what he did here, he was simply a better player at madrid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
