i can't believe the thread has devolved to CR vs Messi in 2020
but to get the last thing off my mind regarding it. In the last dance doc, BJ Armstrong made a distinction between playing the game and going out to win. I think in that sense, Messi is better at playing the game of footy. He's both an elite scorer and playmaker, and a better dead ball specialist. But CL CR figured out how to score, often multiple goals, on any opponent. In the end of the day when it comes to winning, getting a goal via positioning, speed, power, aerial ability, anticipation, drive, and having two strong feet counts as much as a goal that came from messi magic. And not only does it count the same, but it was proven to be a more reliable method for cracking the stingiest defenses.
We were so close to making it thru all of the Coronavirus without a CR7 vs Messi debate. It’s been ages........then POOF
We’re back to day 0
