Best player ever?: Page 10 - The Arsenal discussion community: One More in the Tolly

Best player ever?

Rex

Yeah, I sort of agree with that. In absolute terms he is not the best ever, of course, but I feel any comparison needs to made with the players' contemporaries.

Bold Tone

Sorry about the age of the toaster.

Ronaldo is now Real's all time top scorer in La Liga.

La Liga goals for Real Madrid:

Raul: 228 Goals in 550 Games.

Cristiano Ronaldo: 230 Goals in 204 Games.

Beat Raul's record with 9 seasons to spare.

Absurd.

IBL

That's bonkers, more goals than games played 😆

Rohit

That's insane. He may not be the best player ever, is he the best goalscorer of all time?

Jens

Only one I can think of is Gerd Müller.

Fucking Messi has 232 goals in 208 in the same timespan, which is 1.12 goals per game, Ronaldo's rating is 1.13. Nothing between the two in terms of goalscoring.

Messi is involved in the creation of pretty much every Barcelona attack though, Ronaldo only gets on the end of things. When Messi played up front in 12/13 before his injury he scored at a rate of about 1.7 or something.

Plus Messi's games are from the age of 18 or something while Ronaldo has only played for RM in his prime. Imagine if you don't count Messi's early years where he didn't score as much.

But yeah, the main point is that Messi is Barcelona's main source of creativity and goal scoring, while Ronaldo is a world class poacher.

Rex

Ronaldo can keep up with Messi in scoring, but in every other respect the little doped midget is better IMO.

Qwiss

Not every other aspect, Ronaldos better in the air :p

Tam

But still 🙂

Historically there are a few other all time greats who are comparable purely in terms of goals scoring. Puskas, Eusebio, Di Stefano, Muller...obviously Pele. Van Basten would probably have continued at a goal a game had he not played in Italy during the period he did. Some others too.

Pele used to count goals scored in the school playground bless him

Every goal counts as does every goal saved, the sooner these pass monkeys realise it the better.

And it's the pass monkeys who seem to win all the trophies

Could you fit Messi and Ronaldo in the salary cap in La Liga's Fantasy Football? You wouldn't really need any other players.

Yeah but La liga is a bit of a joke, anyone who plays for Barcelona or Real Mdrid can score heaps.
Neither Messi of Crynaldo have ever done in it World cups like Pele Maradona and Zidane.
