R9 (Pre-injury) vs Messi

Your opinion?

Tough one, both are awesome. Imposibble to choose. But if i was forced by a gun, i would go with the pre injury Ronaldo.

R9 was as good as messi,but didnt have Xaviesta

Messi better at scoring than Ronaldo ? Although you have never seen R9 at Inter ? He was the ultimate player, the one man team. Dribbles and tricks at full speed, brilliant touch, deadly finishing, strenght and precision.

Nesta, 35, owned Messi, 1 month ago. R9 owned players like Nesta, Cannavaro, Maldini or Ayala in their primes.

Those guys are ballon dor winners. proves that r9 was not main player of his teams. you can say he was main striker thats all

Xavi/Iniesta>any of those guys

Barcelona overall is one of the best if not the best team ever,R9 didnt have that privilege but yet he performed like a god

Actually after seeing such a childish comment i dont want to reply but how you compare players. Messi owned same cannavaro and juventus backline in 2005, not just cannavaro. and how nesta stopped messi, pulling messi's shirt and getting yellow? or watching how messi dribbles them and assists pedro?

and how owning a player is measurement? even alves ownes some great defenders sometime so what does it mean? i have seen recoba owning nesta and cannavaro, i have seen montella owning maldini, does it mean montella was better player than messi?

But in arguments you say iniesta is no where to zidane, now you say they are better than all those combined?
and how r9 performed like a Godd? flopping in big games? and winning 0 CL?

when did i say iniesta isnt as good as Zidane?and i never said he is better than all of those guys combined

performances dont always win you trophies you know,see messi with Argentina or RVP

actually r9 didnt help any club to win any major titles. Major titles that R9 won in his entire club career.

La liga (once)
Uefa Cup (once)

But his fans always repeat this: R9 was game winner, he was one man team, he was winning games by himself...my ass, nobody wins games by himself. stop overrating past. r9 was just part of the best teams in his era


about performance you dont even need to comment. nobody maybe in history was so consistent performer as messi. who performed as the best player 4 years in a row? pls just stop talking about performance

You accuse others for not having seen him at Inter, so I assume you must have some crazy recollection for being 3 years old at the time of "watching him"

This Messi is better than R9 ever was.

R9 doesn't touch Messi in scoring, Messi scored nearly as many goals in one season than R9's entire time at Inter (5 seasons)

But scoring does not make anyone a better player.
CR is currently ahead of Messi in goalscoring, does it make him a better player ?

No he isn't lol.

1 game doesnt change the fact that he flopped in 6-7 CL seasons in important games. once i made a list all of those games, but it was in old forums so its gone. If messi failed to win a CL in his career people would bash him. but messi shines in 90% big games. his last seasons goals in CL semi-final and in final was an individual game winning goals, also in final he created villa's goal and was the main reason pedro got space for the first goal. this is how a player wins games

and see where messi is playing in jiopsi's sig. he can be midfielder, striker and winger. and you compare him with a striker. time to admit that you liked r9's style and you love him more. and the thread title should be who do you like more or with whom you want to sleep
