Cristiano on Xavi's comments: "Those who want to be on frontpages, speak of me. He was won everything but 0 Ballon d'Ors. I have 3!"

Cristiano: ‘Why is Xavi relevant?’ “Everyone knows that if they want to get on the front page they have to speak about me. He doesn’t have any Ballon d’Ors and I have three.”

He went on: “Why is Xavi relevant? He plays in Qatar. I’m the most searched-for sportsman on social media.”

Was waiting for a thread Nick. I'll help you out there

i am actually surprised Harmonica did not create one earlier, between this and barca losing,

Most searched sport man lol CR learning from Harmonica with them stats

Honestly, I don't like Cristiano's ego-maniacy, but it's a good reply. If he wants to get back at Xavi, that's pretty much the perfect reply.

Messi > Ronaldo

Ronaldo...

What Xavi said?

Ronaldo

The guy is an utter moron. I suppose Owen is better than Henry and Raul. IQ of a goldfish

As history has taught us, Xavi is humble and respectful

Owen isn't better than Raul and Henry but sure as hell Ronaldo is better than Xavi

Xavi: "Cristiano Ronaldo's problem is that someone else is the best. He will never be ahead of Messi. Lionel is the best and then comes the others"

The term "better than" is relative. What's Cronaldo better than Xavi at? Scoring goals? Sure, no doubt. But I'd trust Xavi to control the midfield of my team over Crono any day of the millennium. Xavi is also a better leader

Better at what exactly? Pressing, cutting off passing lanes, Set pieces, Passing, controlling games, team player, decision making, press resitant player? What next, ronaldo is a better player than Baresi and Buffon?

Stick to Fifa kid where CR has 98 dribbling

Aguero is better than De Gea at shooting. Just thought I'd throw that out.

Doesn't Xavi have a world cup to his name?

Be careful, you are positing wit a bit too much sense. Xavi dominates Finals, CR is a passenger in over 50% of the finals he played

Xavi a better big game player, Xavi literally was the spanish national team. Madrid won Cl whilst CR was a passenger and Portugal won Euros with CR play making from the bench. The guy is a parasite to his teams.

Cl final 08: good 1st half, flopped the rest of it so flopped for over 60% of the game
09 final flopped:
14 final: flopped
16 final: flopped
Euro 04 final: flopped
Euro 16 final didn't even play Portugal didnt need his tap in artist ass and could actually defend properly and not have gaps.

Xavi and Pique are obsessed with Ronaldo and RM. It's basically the only thing they talk about

I think both are right.

Xavi is right in that Ronaldo's problem indeed is that Messi's simply better than him.
Ronaldo is right in that he has 3 Ballon D'Ors and xavi none, also in that he's more searched on google.

Xavi isn't wrong. You are an idiot if you legitimately believe Ronaldo is the better player. I question the intelligence of anyone who thinks a WC goalscorer is better than a WC goalscorer, playmaker, and dribbler.

It isn't even close.

That comment says all you need to know about Ronaldo tbh, he cares more about the Balon D'or than winning the CL etc.

Although it's not Xavi's fault he didn't win, he definitely deserved at least one in his career.

The question is why Xavi would feel the need to tell the public that Ronaldo is worse than Messi, if it's that obvious.

Is he going to publicly repeat this for each of the other, say, 350 million football players in the world which are all worse than Messi?

Any media outlet who interviews Xavi is always going to ask him that question. Even though he's given his answer countless of times, they'll ask him regardless.

So CR basically confirmed that Messi is better than him ?

I still believe in you

While a sad day for football overall, I'll personally enjoy the decrease in Messi-vs-Cristiano bitchfests, once they both retire.
