Tomaszk Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Trying to think of the last time I was sad at a player retiring. Even with Villa players, they tend to slow down and probably move away before retiring so I'm not that fussed. When Messi calls it a day it'll be a glum time . The guy is just unreal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Probably worth mentioning that Ronaldo became the first Juventus player to scored 25 league goals in a season since Omar Sivori in 1960/61. I know goals are harder to come by in Serie A, but I'm genuinely surprised it's been nearly 60 years since Juve had someone score 25 league goals for them.

Stevo985 Posted July 10, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) Messi has scored or assisted more than 10% of Barcelona's goals. Ever. Edited July 10, 2020 by Stevo985 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to FM so not accurate but close enough that he is on £1.2 million a week. I really dont see any major club paying that to him at 33 I don't see him going China or Saudi Arabia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I posted this a while ago on the cheer you up thread, all Messi's 700 goals in one video. He makes it look so easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Too lazy to look myself... How do Aston Villa as a club goals scored compare to messi goals scored and goals contribution?

I only added the time he'd been there to add weight to your original acknowledgement of his greatness. Edited July 10, 2020 by A'Villan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do Aston Villa as a club goals scored compare to messi goals scored and goals contribution? I know you factor in CL but I would be amazed if we've scored more than him in the last 15 years I can't find a reliable source to easily see how many goals we've scored in all competitions by year. But I can for league games only, so let's use that. Wiki says Messi has scored 441 league goals since his debut in 2004/05 (in 482 appearances) Since that time, Aston Villa have scored 783. it's probably fair to exclude 04/05 as Messi only made 8 appearances and only scored 1 goal. So doing that it's 440 vs 738 I suspect if you did all competitions it would be much closer, but we'd still have scored more as Messi has scored 630 total. Our numbers are also massively inflated by three high scoring seasons. One of the MON seasons where we scored 71, and our final 2 seasons in the Championship where we scored 72 and 82 respectively. If you take those seasons out of both goal sets and leave out 04/05, it's 360 vs 513 So yeah we've scored more than him. But not exactly by a huge amount! And the fact I even had to check speaks volumes! Edited July 10, 2020 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I feel bad that I don't watch more Barcelona games because they're so boring but I'm missing out on on of the GOATs.

The_Rev Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Cropped it at 20 because that's all I could fit into one screen grab, but damn isn't Ronaldo Mr Champions League? Quarter finals onwards he's got over double the goals of anybody else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Except for the Inter game just before lockdown on March 8th, Ronaldo has scored in every game he has played in Serie A since the 10th November.
