He is a world class athlete who also has an unstoppable work ethic, but he's one of the most gifted players of all time. He's a very dedicated athlete and has been incredibly successful. I think his touch is shocking these days though. I don't remember it being this bad before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I just think that he really deserves the highest praise for his mental game too. it's absolutely unmatched imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One night we had just below 40 °C outside our flat. (Was a pharmacy across the street with one of those green signs and a big digital thermometers) Granted is was in late July/early August. Think they moved it from Bilbao due to some Covid regulations regarding fans but I remember the Basques being unhappy about it and claiming politics. Not sure why they are playing at the Olympic stadium but I know both Seville clubs have been renovating their stadiums so might be due to construction. Had one of the best meals of my life in Seville. But you're right - it's stupid hot. It's impossible to do anything in the afternoon in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at Messis highlights you are watching something beautiful. When you are looking at Ronaldos highlights you are watching something efficient. Although he has got some worldies in there it's just no way you can argue he is on the same level with the Brazilian Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Messi in terms of natural ability.

Did you ever watch him play for Man United? Back when he played as a winger, before he converted to a full time striker at Madrid? He's in the same category of naturally gifted dribblers all all those you've named... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
