Even Bundesliga isn't among the top 3 leagues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a lot of teams in CL ain't that great. Think he netted 3 against Genk. I don't really understand why you are making such a big deal out of my statement though. Never said he is a bad player. I think he is very good at what he does, as is Lukaku. But in terms of being natural gifted they ain't all that great. They are pure goalscorers, but to me the truly greats are more than just that.

The_Rev Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 On 12/10/2020 at 09:28, Zatman said: Wikipedia has his career stats at 96 goals in 140 games at 20. Gramted Messi and Ronaldo played a higher level the entire career but probably got to 100 goals around 23 years old You can't compare age profiles with Messi or Ronaldo. Messi wasn't used as the main attacking force at Barcelona until they sold Ronaldinho when Messi was 22 and a hundred games into his professional career. Cristiano was used as a fairly orthodox chalk-on-your-boots winger for about four seasons until Man Utd sold Van Nistelrooy. I'm not sure about the higher level thing either. On the surface level the Premier League and La Liga are clearly higher than a season in Norway and half a season in Austria before getting a move to the Bundusliga but playing for dominant clubs has in their respective leagues has definitely helped Messi and Ronaldo post the stats they did. Maybe Haaland is getting that now at Dortmund, but he's still doing it where the opposition aren't massively weaker than the team he's playing for.
