villalad21 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Yes it's time for another season and hopefully many, many goals. Me personally think Messi will be superior to him this season because of Ronaldo's age (34) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Messi to outperform Ronaldo in goals and assists yet again, but Barcelona don't win the CL and everyone says how Ronaldo is the better player because Portugal won the Euros. Repeat for every season until they both retire. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Ronaldo to outperform as always. Messi will probably score more given the team/league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo is extremely fit, he appears to have the strength and cardio of someone a lot younger but he's also got the joints and ligaments of a man in his mid thirties. He's clearly lost a yard from the guy who'd reliably get 50 goals a season and while he has adapted his game I think his best days are behind him. I can't see him winning another Ballon d;Or, and I suspect the days of the duopoly are well and truly over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never outscored him once. Never won any trophies at club level, since international ones don't count. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been times when Ronaldo has outperformed Messi, no doubt. But to say Ronaldo "always" outperforms Messi is, frankly, pretty bizarre. I'd guess even the staunchest fan of either player would concede that the other player has at times been the better performer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more a tongue in cheek response to the above comment, but I'm assuming you must have missed that given you didn't feel the need to give the balanced view?

I saw it. But I think bobzy's comment is far different. he's saying Messi will outscore/out assist Ronaldo until they retire. Which given Ronaldo's age I think is far more probable. If he's suggesting that Messi has ALWAYS outscored and ALWAYS outperformed Ronaldo, then I'd give him the same response I gave you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 You can't say that age haven't effected Ronaldo. He scored 29 goals last season, not saying that's bad but it's not 40-50 goals which he scored in his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
