Truthfully? He's just not that good. He wouldn't have made it into a full strength Liverpool starting XI.
Jaxson Gonzalez
nonsense, he is clearly one of the best goalscorers ever, just not the complete package like Ronaldo. Call me crazy, but Argentina would have won something without messi in the last 15 years.
But the question stands, can you name a bigger loser?
Aiden Edwards
if only messi could be bailed out by his teammates like ronaldo the ghost is
Cooper Stewart
2004: choked to greece in the euro 2006: choked to france in the WC 2007: choked in the second leg against milan 2008: choked to germany in the euro 2009: choked in the final while Messi scored 2010: choked to spain in the WC 2010: eliminated in the ro16 2011: choked in the semifinal against Messi who scored twice 2012: choked in the penalty shootout of the CL semifinal 2012: choked to spain 2013: choke in the second leg against dortmund 2014: choked against germany and the usa in the groupstage of the WC
didn't include the times he won trophies but was a ghost
Ryan Nelson
how is ballack a choker?
Carson Ramirez
because his teammates weren't good enough
Andrew Johnson
even a very poor version of Messi was the best player for Barca last night
Noah Miller
>can you name a bigger choke artist at this point in time?
No, you really can't. But he cognitive dissonance of messoyfags is just amazing
people were shitting on ronaldo for failing to show up after he scored all his team's goals vs ajax
now that messi gets absolutely exposed all the retards are in denial about how "he needs better teammates"
just like this faggot why didn't messi just score 1 (one) goal guys??????? sure doesn't look like a goat
Kayden Campbell
everybody knows he need better teammates, ronaldo achieved nothing with real until real bought the right players
Logan Baker
>>why didn't messi just score 1 (one) goal guys??????? he scored 2 goals..
Tyler Bennett
he is the GOAT but barca aren't what they were
Owen Sullivan
That's not really a feat in a team that got 4-0'd
Robert Robinson
ronaldo is a glorified filippo inzaghi, he's nowhere near messi can't even beat quagliarella
Justin Thompson
he had a clear cut change had it against germany failed penalties against chile and chelsea
it is really not the teammates
>own goals are messi's
Tyler Green
you got it backwards, ronaldo elevates his team while messi is a flat track bully
everyone was creaming their pants just last week, thought it is smooth sailing and look now
Grayson Martin
>own goals are messi's Ok that's twain
Robert Turner
>if I scream twain the boogeyman go away
sorry bud, you are worshiping a false goat
Andrew Rivera
it at least shows you that Messi is not the problem
Leo Parker
Messi just has autism. Footballing autism yeah, but if he just doesn't feel like playing he doesn't bother.
Nicholas Cooper
It was when his job was to score 1 single goal, which he did not
Logan Johnson
Messi is a shitty leader
Jonathan Martinez
>ronaldo elevates his team >juventus does worse than last year really makes you think huh
Ethan Jackson
Ronaldo 1st year with Juve and their actual captain just left
Andrew Taylor
flair and dribbling skills are the things that matter the most for casual football fans, that's why Messi for them is the undisputed goat if you actually look at the results and Messi's performances you'll realize he's not there when the team most needs him
Colton Bennett
Messoy is the biggest football fraud since Pele imo
Henry James
Lionel Messi aka the Andean Shaqiri.
Carson Sanchez
so quaresma and touzani should be the undisputed goat? Even Ronaldinho had more flair.
juve would have been eliminated against atletico without him, you can't just compare it to last year. Also Real imploded without him. He elevated his NT of literal whos. meanwhile Messi is nowhere to be found without xavi and ovrebo hmmm
>lol, he was not interested sour grapes, truth is messi just not have that extra gear when needed
nope, he should have score and fucked up, ter stegen and pique were better for starters
Mason Jackson
he was a ghost in the first leg against atletico but who cares eh? all he needed was to foul godin to score his first goal, score a penalty won by one of his teammate and get the referee ignore the most obvious foul in the penalty box from chiellini
T-TSUUUUU
Tyler Robinson
If you absolutely needed to get a goal at 4-0 down you'd always want Tsu not Messi. I don't think that is open to debate. Ronaldo would make it happen somehow.
Thomas Garcia
forget ronaldo, that is not the debate, question is who fails to turn up more than messi? That is not a goat, it is the hallmark of a choker
Jack Hall
did he fail to turn up?
Ian Gonzalez
retard
Cameron Russell
Muh goals Personally I don't really rate Ronaldo OR Messi for their stat padding. Yes it's impressive, but it doesn't make one the best ever. >woa remember that guy that scored 1000 goals against huelva and arsenal?? GOAT! said no one ever
