Enjoyed this YouTube video? 😍

Ronaldo said, "I can play everywhere and score in different leagues." But if he can dominate everywhere, why doesn't he have a World Cup trophy, even with strong teammates in Portugal? Portugal even won the Euro 2016 final without him after he went off injured early in the match.
Ronaldo says he dominated the Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A. But if he truly dominated everything, why couldn't he dominate the World Cup?
In my opinion, scoring the most goals does not automatically make someone the best player. We should look at overall performance as well. Who has won the most Man of the Match awards in the UEFA Champions League? The answer is Messi. Who has won 8 Ballon d'Or awards? Messi. Who has won 6 European Golden Boots? Messi.
Ronaldo played in different leagues, but he never surpassed many of Messi's records. That's why I believe Messi is the greater all-around player.

This played in different leagues nonsense is never said about MALDINI Xavi iniesta or goalkeepers Buffon etc

And the Stoke question is a joke. David silva Fabregas ozil Aguero all those players came and dominated the prem, the idea that Messi couldn’t is ridiculous. If you can do it against the best in England as Messi did numberous times in the champions league you can do it against the rest

Both great players it's boring continuing an argument that's gone on longer than Simon owned Palace.

Simon ... please answer this question If Cristiano Ronaldo can play everywhere , why hasn't he won the FIFA World Cup, even though the Portuguese team is very strong without him? Portugal even won the UEFA Euro 2016 final after Ronaldo left the match because of injury.

Cristiano Ronaldo played for some of the strongest clubs in Europe, such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus. These teams were already strong, and many people believe he benefited from playing in such powerful squads. As a striker, he often stayed close to the goal-scoring areas and relied on the team's overall strength.

..being the best footballer is not only about scoring goals for different clubs. A great player should be judged by his overall performance, including assists, playmaking ability, influence on matches, Man of the Match awards, and performances in major competitions such as the UEFA Champions League, the FIFA World Cup, and other important tournaments. If Cristiano Ronaldo is truly a great footballer why doesn't he play in weak club and win trophies from zero but Messi did it , Messi plays in a weak club inter miami and wins trophy from zero. What about Cristiano when he was 37 years old ... Did he win world cup ?

What about Piers Morgan and and Penaldo who always criticize Messi on his youtube channel . Penaldo scored some goals, and he said, "I'm the best in the world," but he didn't score in important matches. Penaldo blamed his teammates, his coach, and FIFA, saying it was rigged. Even though Penaldo used his sister's account to write against Messi and even his teammate like Bruno. Penaldo is a media influencer. So many people who don't watch football like his motivational stories, but in football, he is a drama queen.

Try to read between the lines of what simon says he says ronaldo better couse he played in epl. Deep down he knows whos better he just wanted for messi to play in their country and it didnt happend thats why at the end of the day most epl fans will choose ronaldo couse by doing that in other word theirs saying their league is the best wich is understandable.thats what every countrymen should do for their lokaal product.

@empiremusic2705

I totally agree. CR7 is able to fight and win at all grounds. Messi only won at Barcelona.

@valentimrodrigues2924

Simon Jordan is mostly sensible but sometimes he can be an absolute plonker. his opinion is his opinion but opinions can also be wrong. Messi is the greatest and this debate ended 4 years ago when Messi won the WC and was player of the tournament.

@bigcaezer
@

To all saying the debate is over and Messi is the GOAT, don't ever forget that the debate had already ended in 2018. 😂😂
Only one GOAT, CRISTIANO RONALDO.
SIUUUU

@ruiarruda5987
@

Pep, wenger, feeguson (he said there is no comparison!), klopp, Enrique, simeone, cabello, Ronaldo, modric,zlatan, etc, zidane Newmarket, Henry, mbappe (even though his idol is Ronaldo!), yamal, Bellingham.

I left out xavi, iniesta and Ronaldinho!

So I think we should listen to the greats rather than those who have a weird attraction to Ronaldo and clearly dont know football. If you couldnt play football well I cant take your opinion seriously as you dont understand the brilliance of Messi but think explosive movements are what makes a player great.

Bruh they act like Messi is some youngster his game is based on IQ and vision. Cr7 can only play the 9 he makes zero goals for himself he needs world class passers giving him the ball.

What i want to know is when they use the arguement he never played in the prem and thats the reason ronaldo is better, who leavss barcelona to come to any team in england? Unless they dont want you no more no ones leaving barcelona, when barca or real want a player from the prem, 9 times out of 10 that players forcing his way out to go, just like ronaldo wanted out at man united for real madrid

Not surprised. Someone who has never played the gane, thinks Ronaldo is better.

@MrJoromekiq1
@

There are only 2 reasons why anyone would say Ronaldo is better.

1. They are lying
2. They do not understood football.

Period!

This guy is funny, Ronaldo has always played with winning teams, Man united they were at their best when he arrived, same with Juventus and Real Madrid, in Saudi he has failed. What is this guy smoking HAHAHA.

@xaltotunacheron7544

Ronaldo spread football all parts of the world like no other player did with his playing stayle then Messi and Neymar joined but Ronaldo was the eldest among them he started the era with his magic from 2003 a beginning of new and best era of football ⚽ most probably the era will end after this 2026 FIFA world cup the last dance of goats 🐐and both Neymar and Cristiano have same birthday 5 Feb

@sreenarayanram5194
@

Anyone now that continues to say Ronaldo is better than Messi is quite clearly lacking actual football knowledge. There has never been a comparison ability wise, and statistics wise the debate ended years ago. Stop feeding this irrelevant storyline that was put to bed years ago. Also, hilarious that loyalty is being considered negative, shows more about that person than the player themselves
