And I think Haaland has to score something like 44 club goals a season for the next 16 seasons to equal him

You wouldn't think he would do it, but who knows. A couple of seasons getting 60+ goals and that number starts dropping.

Zidane came out and said there is someone already out there that can break this record. Haaland is a sensational player, but Zidane is in cuckoo land.

Well done Ronaldo, you cannot knock the records he has set and what he has achieved in the game.

Sensational record that we may never see the likes of again on our lifetimes.

I personally feel Messi is and was better but I can certainly see the arguments in favour of Ronaldo.

.................

Hard to say who is the better. What I will say is that from being entertained at football I prefer to watch Messi.

Agreed. What they both done since turning 30 has closed the gap imo.

A fair take process. What I would say is, I tend not to lean towards the entertainment aspect too much, as I feel for this reason alone, Ronaldinho for me would be the greatest I have ever seen. Prior to Cristiano, my favourite ever player was Scholes, so I am not one just for the stats, but when it comes to these stats it is hard to ignore.

It’s 34 goals every year for the next 16 years and without Ronaldo scoring another goal.

It was Graeme souness so I should have known better!

Souness said it and he got me too tbf. It is more around 36 goals per season for 16 years which is still madness.

..........

Unless he gets injured, he is going to get 50 a season while he is at City.

Yeah I think injuries will be the deciding factor

And whether or not he plays for another team like City. Even the great Ronaldo had a bit of luck in landing in that Real Madrid team that basically had a world class player every position.

He is a great player, and a legend for us.
I don't know how he will cope with retirement, I don't see him as a manager, and football has been his whole life.
Also he enjoys the limelight, which he will leave behind him.

Yes I agree Scholay which is why I totally disagree when people say the likes R9, Ronaldinho or Zidane were better than CR7.

Maybe easier on the eye but certainly not better imo.

I'm too young to have seen Maradona or Pele play so cannot comment on them.

The thing with Messi is that not only was he statistically amazing he's so entertaining to watch. He could go past 5 players as soon as he could thread a ball through an eye of a needle.

CR7 is an absolute legend but just my opinion is that at their amazing peaks Messi just had more over Ronaldo than Ronaldo had over Messi.

I make it 35 goals a season for 15 years. If Ronny never scores again, so make it 36 goals.

But....he looks like he'll hit 50 or 60 this season and if he does that for a couple of years, it then looks more realistic

I don't think he'll do it though, Ronaldo is a freak and maintained crazy consistency

Although never at Messi level, I think people tend to forget the Ronaldo that scored 42 goals for us. The run against Fulham if memory serves me right and celebration with Heinze was peak Ronaldo.

Being the intelligent footballer that he is, he changed his game to do less of that and concentrate on the currency of this game. But the lad did have tricks and ability to beat players in his locker

Yes from 06-09 he was sensational for us and probably my favourite United player ever.

I just feel Messi's dribbling and passing put him above Ronaldo just about but as I said I can see why people argue Ronaldo is the best.

Nowhere near Pele’s 1279 goals.

Ronaldo will be remembered as a top player but he’s nowhere near the Brazilian

Maybe he can add the the goals he scored against his kids in their toy goalposts out the back garden.

Probably be more legit than some of Pele’s goals by the sounds of it.

Peles goal count is a sham. Its literally every goal he scored in every match he played. Like non competitive fund raiser matches against 11 nurses.

I don't think it is hard to say.

Messi is without question the better all round player, the entire game runs through Messi and he provides as much as he scores, hence 100+ extra assists, whereas Ronaldo is only a final third player.
