Messi all day imo, Ronnie is an incredible athlete, but Messi is naturally better imo. I imagine you could play Messi or Ronaldo in any position and they'd still look brilliant. I bet Messi playing CentreBack for Aston Villa would still be the best performer on the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but it's not the schoolyard so the "best kid plays up front". He's a striker as that's where he's best suited to play and he's not got any of the physical attributes to be a CB. He could still probably be okay just by reading the game but he's not going to be like Maldini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said you could probably play him in any position in a mid table championship game and he'd be the best player on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they thought they could get more out of him/he was more influential/played best in CM that's where he'd be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of that list, Ronaldo and Messi are the only players who aren’t proper strikers (well, Ronaldo probably has been for the past 4 or so seasons maybe), which makes their goalscoring exploits even more ridiculous.

I've once read a top striker (don't remember who it was) saying that it's actually easier for players like Ronaldo, Dybala, Hazard Or Messi to score as opposed to a classic number 9 like Suarez, Cavani or Lewandowski, simply because they always face the goal and always drive forward. A modern striker often plays with his back to the goal, making passes, blocking defenders and opening space. I don't know whether to agree with this but there is logic to the argument.

He was the difference between them being one of the worst couple of teams in the tournament, and getting to the final. Argentina would be making finals with or without Messi.
