That match was smacked in between their league, and UCL games, that was the least important of the games, Messi on the other hand scored in the games that mattered, the semis of Europe, and Barca went on to win the UCL, so you tell me which was the more crucial goals? The one for the Spanish Cup, or the one for the UCL final, which Messi took Barca to, and scored again in the final as well against Manunited. Sorry my friend, Ronaldo will always lose to Messi. You take your Spanish cup, I'd rather take the Champions League AND the domestic League, than you very much!
I didn't say Ronaldo was a better player, he's not, i just said i'd rather have him here than Messi, as i feel he would suit us better.
LOL, exactly, i'm so tired of hearing that stupid line, plus most players in the EPL struggle at Stoke anyway! People just like to forget the many times Messi has destroyed Arsenal, and performed top class against Manu and Chelsea.
I have actually not said, who I prefer. I am playing the devils advocate here. I think it's really close between the two, but because of the way he can combine with his team mates, I would take Messi. For Ronaldo to be in the same conversation, just tells you how good he is, because for me Messi is the best player I have ever seen.
I didn't say Messi is the best because he destroyed us, but by your logic, and many others, you say Messi is unproven in the EPL, but we have seen Messi play against the best teams in England, and he's performed very well, so therefore the argument that he's unproven is FALSE. Messi is the best in the world because he consistently scores more than 50 goals, and has helped Barca win every single possible competition they play for, THAT'S WHY HE'S THE BEST.
