AMERICANS REACTION TO Messi vs Ronaldo - The Best GOAT Comparison

[@HimK22]

Guys eye test is not about who has more flair or does more skills it’s about efficiency on the ball and how positive you can be on the ball. The passes you make, the dribbles you do, the shots you take and more.

[@sampalv-]

eye test is literally the 1st thing that would kick ronaldo out of the debate lmao, bro's been camping in the box for deliveries with 35 touches a game for 7-8 yrs now.

[@Adam-ls5cq]

Eye test Ronaldo ??? 😂 Messi too clear in eye test it ain’t even funny

[@bigshaq3138]

We know Messi has the eye test, but Messi cooked Ronaldo so let's just his fans something to hold on to😂

[@brickwall6247]

Here's my issue with the Messi Ronaldo debate..the main reason the goat debate was ended was bcs of the recent Argentina wins Goal ratio would be unreliable bcs recent years Messis season goals have been at 20s Then theres the important goals in UCL where it's nowhere near close Then statistics often include international friendly goals Then we have the later stages of knockout football matches where you can make an hour long video of Ronaldo scoring winning game deciding goals... So yeah for people saying it was never close...no it was close and the world was divided into 50-50 Portugal although had a better team on paper they never performed on the pitch and Argentina too massively stepped up and gave Messi the trophies which a player of his calibre totally deserved

[@xavision972]

I will explain why Messi is better on the eye test. Messi can dribble 3 people in a small space then play an incredible pass or make a perfect finish after it, which is something most players can't do, you don't need to look at stats to show you that is incredible. When Ronaldo dribbles, he does it after a fancy move, he can do a no-look pass, although these look flashy, it still holds the same value as a normal dribble, so essentially he did the same thing but more flashy. The eye test is how good you can see a player is without looking at stats, not who's most flashy. PS: Watch 19 year old Messi if you want to see his best dribbling, the only other player who is that direct while dribbling and can manipulate the ball in small spaces is Brazilian Ronaldo.

[@HimK22]

Their idea of the eye test is just very flawed that’s the problem

Rob and Pat statistically Messi is alot better than Ronaldo, any other video favoring Ronaldo would be them just adding random stats like who kicks the ball harder, or who jumps higher or who's faster , just so Ronaldo can win a category. But the main stats like goals per game, assists and trophies messi is better

[@Nacho-if4fv]

Goals ronaldo is so clear even if you remove 4 beginning seasons from ronaldo hed still have more goals with less games. Hes just efficiently way better of a goal scorer. Even when messi was a cf and ronaldo a winger he was putting up the same numbers 253 goals in those 4 seasons while... Messi played 20 matches more lol.

since this video Messi has won Copa America twice and the WC...they need to update this video

[@young_raymond47]

The video clearly makes an honest attempt at being unbiased, but it's near impossible to remove that bias. For example, on the eye test, he made sure to include a compilation of some of Ronaldo's worst misses, without ever making a comparable section for Messi's weaker aspects. And on the statistics, we all know it's very easy to paint whatever narrative you want. If he measured impact on team by points gained rather than goals scored when the player is on the pitch, would it make a difference? What about number of game winning goals? Goals in finals? Again I don't think he is trying to be biased, but I think he inevitably had an idea in his mind on who the best is and the presentation of the video reflects that.

[@MachoManEditz]

points gained is only in leagues and groups(and i'm pretty sure that messi has the most in europe) but goal scored is in every match and for the misses u can't find many clips of messi missing off target while ronaldo has many complation and also messi has the most goals and assists in finals in football history and the other stats u can't deny just accept that messi so much better than ronaldo!

[@superstrat5826]

Because Messi doesn't really have any noticeable flaws on the eye test compared to Ronaldo so it's harder to pick at. His shots are more accurate, his dribbling is more effective, his passing is more dangerous, he dives far less, his decision making is better, the only "flaw" you could even point at Messi is his lack of ariel ability due to his size, but he mentioned that in the Ronaldo section.

[@young_raymond47]

@@superstrat5826 Neither does Ronaldo, unless you are deliberately curating a compilation to drive home the narrative. It would be incredibly easy to go through Messi's 20 year career and make a 30 second compilation of his penalty misses or stray passes and simply claim these are weaknesses, which would obviously be bullshit. The point is that on something subjective like the eye test, he had his winner in mind and had to find a way to justify it within the video. Ronaldo in his prime was one of the most ruthless finishers ever, compiling some of his worst misses ever doesn't change that.

[@That_Guy-rb5hh]

Messi has more game winning goals & Messi scored the most goals in finals (In history) … So even if they included those categories Messi would still be on top . I agree that bit of Ronaldo misses was unnecessary but that doesn’t change the facts … And the facts are Messi is better (Eye test & Statistically) ..

If you're a football lover then you know whatsup in the eye test category. Messi is by far better than Ronaldo. The dribbling, passing, and scoring. Damn even Zlatan said watching Messi is like watching Playstation.

[@droppedmycap1594]

If you actually watch football, you know that Ronaldo is an amazing finisher. However he needs a supportive system where his team feeds him the ball infront of goal to score. He basically stands there and waits for the ball to come to him. If his team doesnt perform, ggs. Messi is a playmaker. He creates but can also finish just as good as ronaldo. He just a better player overall. Stats cant show u this

Messi is a master at dribbling, assists, he gives more play and everything that a more complete footballer should have (for me).
