Can tell english isnt your first language.
As i said, Ronaldo may have won 5 champions leagues, but in the finals he was no where to be scene other than in the final against Juve, WHICH YOU yourself have shown and listed.
Compare that to Messi!
and yet, he was the one who carried them to ucl finals. this isn't the nfl or the nba, every game in the knockout stage, the number of goals scored matters, everything matters. Real wouldn't have ucl if ronaldo didn't carry them to the finals. stop actually looking at stats and watch his journey to see how clutch he is
next you will be telling me Eoin Morgan is a world class cricketer because he averaged 40, when in reality he just scored runs against the minor nations.
The best players and the "GOATS" shine on the biggest stage. Jordan, Curry, Brady, Ben Stokes. When they are called upon they go and win it and dont rely on others.
So I couldnt give a shit about the journey, we are talking about GOATS, and im saying to be a GOAT you have to stand up on the biggest stage.
CR7 more often than not doesnt do it when it matters most.
Also this is football not basketball or American football. This is American talking right here. You don’t watch enough football to understand the game, how it plays. Wtf do you mean about not doing it when it matters most? In football, every minutes matter. It’s not basketball where the first 2 quarters doesn’t matter. Football score doesn’t say 95-89. In football, every game matters, every goals matter, every yellow cards matter sometimes. It’s not NBA where you can rest your starting 5 for a couple of games for them to be ready for the playoffs, it’s not the NFL where you can get rest in game, come back in and play again. Pls for the love of god, watch the game, appreciate greatness, and not be a dumb American pls
I stopped reading when you said you were american and i know nothing about football, when i have had a season ticket for my premier league/championship supported side for 18 consecutive years.
To correct you im English :)
What sort of american would talk about crickets you dumb fuck LOL, id expect more from an aussie.
and i assumed you have an american brain after you said Ronaldo doesn't show up in big occasion, like every game doesn't matter.
maybe you need more than 18 years to dissect what's right and wrong to say when talking about football.
truthfully, i ain't a ronaldo rider defending ronaldo, im actually a big Messi fan. Even I think Ronaldo showed up more in elimination games. how about this, if you are actually british like you said, then instead on basing everything on stats like you do in crickets or whatever, watch the game, the FULL game. dont go on youtube and watch highlights, don't go to your team's stadium and stay asleep for 2 hours eating hotdogs, instead watch the game and see how impactful your players are to the game
