Why Lionel Messi 🇦🇷 was NEVER close to Cristiano Ronaldo 🇵🇹 in terms of Goalscoring ⚽️
[Huge Thread]
#EndingTheMessiVsRonaldoDebate
I want to start off by saying that i’m not implying that Messi is not a good goalscorer at all. He is by far in the top 10 and he is way better than most strikers that have ever graced the game of Football. However, the comparison or the claim that Messi is a better Goalscorer… https://t.co/yAnyLAZkVBtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
1. La Liga
During their time in Spain 🇪🇸 in the 11/12 Season. Messi and Ronaldo were scoring goals for fun. But, there’s a key difference between the two. Messi played 36 games as a CF and 1 as a winger while scoring 50 Goals in La liga. Ronaldo on the other hand, 37 games as a… https://t.co/Isz3XAkaDktwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Ronaldo scoring 46 goals as a winger is FAR more impressive than Messi scoring 50 goals as a CF. Another Example being the previous season or the 10/11 season where Ronaldo actually Outscored Messi despite being a Winger. Ronaldo played 31 games as a winger and 2 as a CF. Messi… https://t.co/QwVOtMrHVgtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
in the 13/14 Season Messi played ALL of his La liga games as CF except one. scoring 28 goals. Ronaldo that same season Scored 31 La liga goals when playing 29 games as a left winger and 1 single game as a CF. Nowadays, there is this agenda that Ronaldo has always been a striker… https://t.co/SDOYo4EDTmtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Similar situation in the 12/13 season.
Messi plays ALL 50 games as CF while Ronaldo plays 51 GAMES AS A LEFT WINGER.
Ronaldo absolutely clears in La liga. If he started his career in Spain, he would have double the numbers Lionel Messi has
This is Proof that Messi has played more games as a Striker, CF, & SS than Ronaldo ever has. Messi always stays more Central while Ronaldo starts wide and moves central over time. Ronaldo is actually ridiculously good.
2~UCL
We all know Ronaldo is MR UCL with an astonishing 140+ goals in the UCL. More than Messi’s 129. Also, having the most UCL topscorer in history (7) However, that’s not the main attraction. We’re looking at 16/17 UCL season where Messi scored 10 GOALS in the group stages of… https://t.co/35iogjcOu3twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3/4~Roles and Positions/Midfield Maestro
Starting out in his career, from his sporting Lisbon and his early United days Ronaldo was a Midfielder. He only became more an attacking threat during his 2008 season. People may argue that Messi played deeper even if ronaldo was a… https://t.co/ryr6XDBy5Itwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
5~Goal Ratio
Ronaldo has a higher gtg ratio in La liga and UCL but, a lot of Messi fans debate than Messi is a better Goalscorer than Ronaldo simply due to having a better goal Ratio. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Ronaldo’s job wasn’t to score in his first 200+ games… https://t.co/SXp7RzxO7Vtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
6~International Games
Ronaldo has the most international goals scored in history and Dominates International Competitions. However, that’s not enough to prove that Ronaldo clears him here. Again, Messi is a Pure stat padder. This time in International Friendlies. Take away all… https://t.co/0PmAFJFSX4twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
7~Juventus Ronaldo Vs PSG Messi
Both at the age of 34 left Spain and went to different clubs and leagues. Ronaldo went to Juve in Italy and Messi to PSG in France. Messi was exposed at his first season in PSG by having 6 LEAGUE GOALS. It goes to show that Messi outside of… https://t.co/VNCzcjWDMltwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
8~”The Playmaker”
Messi starts creating more chances after Suarez joined Barcelona in 2015 and ever since Xavi and Iniesta left. Fans of Messi Assume Messi’s absurd goalscoring stats have dropped due to him being a playmaker but that’s just far from the truth again. At PSG he is… https://t.co/iYfLQZ4GMJtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
9~Consistency and Longevity
It’s easy and clear to say Ronaldo has better Longevity than Messi in terms of Goalscoring but also in General. Ronaldo scored 100 goals for Juve while Messi dropped 6 League goals in a season. Ronaldo dropping 60 goals in 4 consecutive seasons end the… https://t.co/wLBnjQTBvJtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
10. Finishing and Goal Catalogue
Messi only ever came close to Ronaldo’s level of finishing once. All time? it’s not close. Not only can Ronaldo finish chances Messi isn’t capable of reaching at all, but Messi also doesn’t have the enough resources to finish a chance.… https://t.co/Qd7iB2nhZmtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

•Weak Foot Goals

•Long Shots
Ronaldo is astronomically clear of Messi when it comes to shooting from long distances. For example, Messi’s goal vs Benfica in the CL is an Outside the box goal by definition. But if we take a look at Ronaldo’s goal vs Barcelona in 2018
it’s inside the box despite… https://t.co/ErZw5ODBz7twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
12. Records and Other Extras
Lionel Messi holds the record for the most goals scored in a single calendar year. An incredible record that may never be broken.
