While we're on the topic, CR7 has a CAREER 81 completed throughballs. For reference, Lionel Messi recorded 71 successful throughballs in ONE season alone (505 total). These 2 were seen as equals for over a decade, mind you. A DECADE
Most accurate through balls in Europe's top five leagues this season:. ◉ 10 - Bruno Guimarães.◎ 9 - Pedri.◎ 9 - Harry Kane.◎ 9 - Rodrigo De Paul.◎ 8 - Lamine Yamal.◎ 8 - Cole Palmer. Masters of threading the needle. 🪡

I've seen actual images of player's with terrible injuries, and sometimes even the scars that follow through surgery. Yet the only player in the past 20 years that has used a 'knee injury' as a crutch in their career is CR7. Yet no surgeries, not even an image of its severity. 🤔.

Since Messi was a teenager he was expected to surpass DIEGO MARADONA as a footballer or he would never be considered great. Can you believe that? 😂. No player in the last 50 years held that level of pressure or expectations. Not even remotely close, yet Messi surpassed them all!.
Never in history a player suffered all that pressure to win the biggest tournament in football. He tried and tried again and again. Had he lost this last call, not only his nation, but the whole world would never forgive him. There‘d be a dark spot on his name. Praise him!

Messi vs CR7 is just CR7 PR. Competing with Lionel Messi's FIFTH best quality as a footballer (goal scoring). Messi never benefitted from being compared to CR7. But CR7 was being called a top 2 player ever for just being able to keep up with just ONE Lionel Messi stat for 6 years.
The Messi Ronaldo debate will forever be the most childish debate in sports history.

CR7 couldn't sniff a final in the UCL between 09-12. It was the signings of kroos, modric, and casemiro that allowed UCL success. Even when CR7 left they could win a UCL as long as those 3 played. They're the constant in Real Madrid's UCL dominance the past decade.
Ronaldo joined a Real Madrid side that got knocked out of a Ucl last 16 for the 5th season running. When he left, he had 3-peated the Ucl with them and 4 titles in 5 years. Messi joined Barca at their peak. Their core won 2 Euros & a WC without Messi. Look where he left them?👇
