We haven’t even seen prime mbappe and have no idea how good he can or can’t become. So although Messi being compared to the best player itw at 35 is ridiculous, you worded it wrong. I personally feel mbappe got a bit more refinement to do in his game. Physical peak comes 25ish to 32ish. The lads 23

Messi has a bigger mentality than CR7 imo.. Imagine losing 3 international finals in a row and quitting your national team, getting mocked and criticised by your own people…and then coming back, winning 36 games in a row with 2 international trophies within it (Finalissima and Copa America) and then ultimately winning the most prestigious trophy in Football (World Cup) by giving an all star performance in every KO stage of the Tournament and winning the POTT in the process Nah man, This is probably the Greatest Redemption Arc in Sports History…bigger than Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan quite easily

Here's my essay of why Messi was always clear. Not due to a WC win, CL wins, Balon D'Or wins or league titles. He was clear because he's the only playmaker that has scored so many goals and the only striker that has given so many assists, in 1 package. He is clear due to his dribbling, passing, vision, positioning, runs, pace (in his prime), consistency (and the ability to adapt his play style at 35 after losing pace). Also due to his hard work ethic, he used to struggle with his weight, got a dietitian and gained a bunch of muscle mass. His balance and strength are also underrated. He fends off strong defenders and stays on his feet. He managed to outrun and outdribble a huge and fast Croatian defender that was having the tournament of his life (with Messi at 35 years old). He used to do the same all the time vs Pepe, Ramos, showed it against Vidic and Ferdinand, also vs Nesta, Cannavaro and he made Boateng fall to the ground like a sack of potatoes. The narrative that he's just pure talent is also silly. He kept working hard on his freekicks and physicality throughout his career. His freekicks kept only improving. His strength became a solid aspect of his game. Just look how well balanced he is when loads of defenders try tackling him. It's almost like he's immune to them. He feints, dribbles and twist and turns them silly. I don't know why people couldn't see this during a 15 year long career. So many iconic La Liga matches. Iconic Champions League matches and also iconic World Cup matches. He reached the final in 2014 with a mediocre Argentinian squad. He had to count on players like Garay, Biglia and Higuain was shooting every 100% chance out of the stadium. He carried them towards the final and lost against the most overpowered German squad ever with 1-0. While he still did his thing in that tournament. Scored, assisted, dribbled etc. He showcased his entire arsenal of skill and won the Golden Ball of that tournament. Comparing him to Ronaldo was always flawed. Don't get me wrong, Ronaldo is spectacular. But Ronaldo just had the bad luck of being a part of Messi's generation. Prime Ronaldo was fast, had spectacular skill moves, quick handling, destructive power, fitness, physicality. However Ronaldo doesn't have the play making aspect of the game. He's ''merely'' a striker. While Messi can play in the attack and on the midfield. He is a Xavi/Iniesta/Ronaldo(goal scoring wise), Pirlo, Zidane, Modric, Kroos in 1. Messi can do what Ronaldo does (score a lot) but also do more than that (assist, pass, out dribble entire defences) and better than anyone else. Messi also has won more trophies but that really doesn't matter imo because those trophies are won by an entire team. Even the Balon d'or isn't really an individual award when you think about it. You still need teammates that enable you to play in the right conditions. So all I'm looking at is the talent and work ethic that's been consistently displayed throughout an amazing career and that shows me that Messi is the absolute, undisputed GOAT. Far surpassing anyone I've ever seen.

You see the thing is that Ronaldo was a playmaker and a creator at one point even out assisting Messi a few seasons, he simply adapted and changed his play style around 2016/17 I would say and even in juve you could see his vision was pretty solid all while being an excellent goalscorer. To me it's Messi=Ronaldo

The size of Mbappe makes it harder for him to act like Messi. Mbappe is a very good player and for sure has the potential to become world-class for his era, but you can't beat Messi. Messi in his younger years was crazy at dribbling and still does. Lacks a bit on Temp because of age. As well as his out-of-box shots. Last but not least as he got older, the more he looked into making plays with other players, the assist he got against the Nederlands shows that. In my opinion, Messi is levels higher then Mbappe, but Mbappe has a different play style so it's hard to compare both.

Don't think this will change people's minds. Either you prefer one or the other. You can prefer Ronaldo over Messi and still think Messi is a better footballer than Ronaldo. As a Madridista myself I will always back Ronaldo no matter what happens until the end of their careers. Huge respect to Messi, he is probably the greatest ever, I just prefer Ronaldo. Don't think you need to debate it too much, just enjoy them while they're still around and wait for the next rivalry to emerge but don't expect it to be as good as this one though. The Ronaldo & Messi Era was once in a lifetime kind of thing.

Messi and Ronaldo are the goats. For me Ronaldo is better but I will never shame anyone for thinking Messi is, because I don't think anyone of them are clear of eachother. It's just delusional to say "Messi is astronomically clear" because it's simply not true.

Even tho messi is absolutely incredible and the only goat of football, ronaldo has also done some great things. Too bad in the last half a year he has embarrased himself so bad that its forever tarnished his legacy. Honestly, the goat debate (if we still want to keep that going on) is now between messi, pele and maradona. Ronaldo is fourth. After those four come in beckenbauer, cruyff, r9, platini, zidane, di stefano, puskas etc.

I’m a United fan. Love ronnie but I’ve always preferred messi it’s like watching magic. They are both easily the goats. The amount of time they were at the top was insane. While having some of the best seasons we have ever seen in football. Fair enough if you have a favourite out of the two but they are both head and shoulders above the rest in the goat convo

Good luck? Was It was good luck that Messi had when the world destroyed him for losing 3 int finals in a row? Was it good luck when he got knockout out in r16 to France? Was it luck when he scored an outside the box goal on Ochoa one of the best keepers in the tournament ? Pendu fans are a joke lol abs don’t mean you work hard for god sake🤣🤣

not so surprising bro, natural talent combined with hard work beats hard work every time, why do ronaldo fans think messi doesn't work hard? which other 35 year old in history have you seen putting on a wc performance like this like they are 27, messi worked hard to get everything he's achieved, if he was just natural talent he would have ended up like ronaldinho and retired long time ago, like the guy above said if you're better ur just better doesn't matter if its naturally or by hard work
