Ronaldo is playing with trash

Let's not forget since he joined Juve they have managed 7 goals in 6 games (now 7) in knockout stages

All 7 were scored by Ronaldo

[AdikinBawls]

United don't have a back 4 that can compete for big trophies yet though

Juve just seem to get worse and worse each year, he probably regrets the move

You're right, but they would handle Juve right now. Also, I think their problems are much easier to fix than Juve's.

[LukeS1]

They didn't even consult VAR for that Pen?

Seems like the tech doesn't matter when you have an incompetent ref

[engscott]

United looked pretty decent again yesterday, but my gawd is Rashfords finishing bad

ooof that Haaland goal

crazy

[TheBrentmeister]

Anyone watch the Liverpool v Everton game? WTF has happened to Liverpool's intensity.

[TheBrentmeister]

They are missing their best player VVD and their injury list is ridiculous this season.

True, they have been hit hard particularly in defence, but the loss of one player is not acceptable for this downfall. This league season is a write off for Liverpool.

Anyone see Antwerp vs Rangers? Feel like Scottish football is coming back. I don't usually like tikitaka but Gerrard is making it work in our physical league by using it too counter. I never liked Morelos as much as some but I'm being converted.

That was such an entertaining game. Rangers have been great to watch this season and they’re doing the business in Europe too!

The guy is a beast! The fact he’s only 20 is scary. Big future ahead for Haaland.

didn't expect that game to deliver so many goals tbh

aren't Rangers the only undefeated team in Europe (top flight) this season?

pretty crazy

yeah and he does stuff that doesn't make sense for a player of his build lol

curious to see where his career will take him

I think we could go further before teams with deadly quality bust us. We have a few great players that could still pose team's issues. Morelos is so strong and aggressive, very compact but stocky.

I think so. Scotland are close to getting 2 Champions League spots back. We need that to bring in players if international quality.

[LukeS1]

fukkin lul at not blaming ronnie

The season before Ronaldo joined Juve, the scored 86 goals in the league.
.

What you failed to mention is CR7 scored the most goals across the top 5 leagues in 2020

That includes Lewandowski

Still the best player in the world, Juve just isnt nearly as strong as they were

[engscott]

14 seasons in a row Ronaldo scores 25+...it's ridiculous how many goals this guy has been scoring. And he'd have about 100 more if his time at United was spent in Spain

Its hard to say. Ronaldo took a while to truly become world class, when both were 18-19 Rooney was better

2006 was really his break out year

Definitely took a few years to get out of the 1000 step overs and into the killer instinct player we know...but come on going up against those La Liga defenders he'd have burnt them hard with his pace back then. I think if he started at Madrid at 18 he'd have scored about 100 goals in the 6 years before he actually went there.

I mean he scored 84 in 196 for United, I think you can probably 1.5 - 2x that if it were all in Spain

[Kaliconic]

Liverpool losing four straight at home after being undefeated over 68 straights games is just crazy.

CL hasn't been very entertaining so far. Most of the ties have already been just about decided before the second leg. The exceptions are Porto-Juventus and maybe Chelsea-Atleti.

[RunoC]

Ronaldo has won 5 UCLs on two teams, and 2 International trophies

Messi has 3 UCLs on one team that had Iniesta, Xavi Neymar, Suarez, Eto, Dani Alves, Pique, Busquets etc

Messi needs more big trophies to be in the GOAT conversation, whereas Ronaldo's legacy is set

You my friend are unbelivable.

I visit this forum and this thread every 3-4 months just to check in. Every time I enter this thread and I go through to the messages, I see you suking Ronaldos dik over and over again. Same old messages. It was two years ago, a year ago and a few months ago. Always the same information about Ronaldo, quarter finals etc etc.

Don`t get me wrong, I`m not attacking you. You seem to be obsessed tho lol

No different to the countless Brady posts

Like with Brady we are witnessing the greatest to ever do it, of course we will talk about him

Indeed. It'll be a sad day when La Pulga retires.

He's soccer's Peyton

More talented, better regular season stats, but when it comes to big games and trophies.....

I`m pretty sure Messi has countless trophies don`t you agree?

[LukeS1]

Nah I can count them;


Xavi & Iniesta at Barca without Messi = 1 UCL

Xavi & Iniesta with Spain = 3 Trophies


Messi since Xavi left = 0 UCL

Messi with Argentina = 0 Trophies, 4 choked finals without a goal, 1 missed pen in a shootout

How selective can you be? I wouldnt be shocked if you`ve mentioned messi with beard is less successful than messi without a beard.

Everything you mentioned above doesn`t matter. He has 4 UCL and MANY other titels and it doesn`t matter if xavi`s nutsack was shaven during that day or not

Everybody and their mother knows that messi is the better footballer and more talented, but he is less successful than Ronaldo if it comes to UCL trophies.. which is 1 UCL trophy less than Ronaldo.

We are giving Messi Credit for 06 when he didn't play any of the Knockout games?

Guess we should count Spain's world cup as his too?

[LukeS1]

Its also not selective, Messi has 15 chances to win a tropphy without those two

5 UCL seasons since Xavi left
6 Copa Americas
4 World cups

All he has is 4 final appearances, in which his team scored 0 goals across 450 minutes of football.

Im sorry but you cant be the GOAT if you cant inspire your team to 1 goal in either of two 120 minute finals against CHILE to win one trophy. Lining up alongside Aguero, Higuain, Di Maria and they cant manage a single goal against Gary Medel, Jean Beasejour etc?

I stand corrected, Rangers lost against St. Mirren in the Scottish League Cup QF in December

and again 5 goals already with 15 minutes still to play

[TokenV]

ooof that Molde upset

Hoffenheim throwing away a solid 3-3 away position from the first leg, very un-German

first time in Molde's history they reach the final 16 of a European competition
