How much of Maradona did you see to make that statement, talking about full game here. Not edited highlights?

live? I saw him when he was a kid for Argentina live, whole stadium erupted within a few minutes of him coming on even though nobody had hardly heard of him. Footballing genius, never saw Pele, but Maradona for me by far and away a different level to anybody else I've seen.
 
Ronaldo plays more deeper and on the wing, haway mate get with it, Benzema plays higher up the pitch than Ron. Whereas Messi is the focal point of Barcelonas play, more of a proper striker which is why his record is probably slightly better

:lol: Fuck sake!

Nor man but Messi is the focal point! They're the best two players around, any team would be totally insane not to have them as their focal point in the team. When Barca attack they go through Messi, whether its him who has the final shot or not. When RM attack it inevitably goes through Ronaldo, their best player. And to suggest Ron isn't their 'focal point' after his start to the season is ludicrous, its like you're suggesting he hugs the touchline all game and hardly ever drifts inside, where he just so happens to spend the majority of his time.

Two amazing players, both the hub for their team.

How many games have you sat and watched Maradona play a full 90 minutes in the flesh or live on the tele?

no, you've missed his point completely there
 
no, you've missed his point completely there

But I haven't at all.

You're saying all of Barca's build up play is to inevitably set Messi up to score. RM do exactly the same thing, they're using their best players to their strengths! Hence Ronaldo scoring a hat-trick weekly, look how many times it was put on a plate for him against Athletic ffs.

Its such a daft point to make :lol:
 
It doesnt matter about the past?

Messis record blows ronaldos out of the water, of course it matters
Wouldn't exactly say that, if Ronaldo had being at Madrid for the same length of time Messi has been at Barca, Ronaldo would have out scored him easy without question.

You dont actually believe ronaldo plays deeper and the wing do you?

This post suggests to me you dont watch much of real madrid

But you're still missing the point
 
Brilliant player, I'd say he has been better than Messi over the course of his career but Messi had 3 seasons where he was the better player.

Not always high up the pitch like Messi is, that's all i meant

No its a different set up completely at Madrid
 
what does it matter how many? what is your point? If its the rose-tinted glasses I'm not buying that

Of course it matters, of I was on here claiming Laudrop was the greatest player ever people would quite rightly expect me to back up my argument so if you are claiming Messi is not in same league as Maradona its only right you back up your argument. So I ask again when did you ever see Maradona play a full 90 minutes live or on the tele?
