10 Reasons Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo Are Not the Greatest of All Time [GOAT] in Football

For the best piece of the most recent decade, two names have overwhelmed world football (soccer) more than any others; Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. These extraordinary adversaries have broken incalculable football records, scored crazy number of objectives and pushed each other the distance to enormity regardless of the way that they are two altogether different football players, playing two altogether different styles in two altogether different parts for two unique clubs. The main thing that truly associates the two is the sea of capacity that isolates them from whatever remains of the players on the planet. There can be no doubt with respect to whether the twosome has a place in the pantheon of football unequaled greats any longer. Albeit any push to decide the best footballer ever is liable to generational predisposition, it ought to be noticed that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are not separately or altogether the best football player[s] ever because of the accompanying reasons;

Cristiano isn't the best 'Ronaldo' to play the diversion: Despite his unparalleled accomplishment in and off the field of play, Cristiano Ronaldo is as yet not considered the best Ronaldo to have played the amusement. Ronaldo de Assisi (otherwise called Ronaldinho) and Ronaldo de Lima (the wonder) are alternate 'Ronaldos' whose incredible assaulting ability is regularly contrasted with Cristiano Ronaldo's. Ronaldo de Lima was a more dangerous and finish striker who might have most likely been the 'World's Best Striker Ever' on the off chance that he had stayed damage free in his footballing profession, while Ronaldinho was the performer who, at his pinnacle, continually wowed the footballing scene. Cristiano Ronaldo is superior to other 'Ronaldos' as far as body electorate throughout the years, exceptional objective scoring rates, general wellness and delayed vocation (because of low rate of wounds) yet for sheer aptitude, dangerousness, predominant specialized capacity, and the 'goodness' factor, the two 'Ronaldos' are superior to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Lionel Messi isn't the best ever Argentine player: It is a verifiable truth that for a footballer to be the best ever on the planet, he must be the best ever footballer in his nation and tragically, Lionel Messi isn't both. Lionel Messi isn't the best football player Argentina has delivered. That respect goes to Diego Armando Maradona. Maradona (broadly viewed as extraordinary compared to other football players) is a footballing legend that enlivened Argentina to a world container triumph and S.S.C. Napoli (in the Italian Football League) to its first and second League title [Scudetti] in its history. He is the scorer of the world's most questionable objective (the 'Hand of God' objective) and the FIFA Goal of the Century. There is for all intents and purposes a faction around the player in Argentina. Diego Maradona (and Pele) is the benchmark for the celebrated South American country when another star makes advances on the square. Along these lines, while Messi has astonished on the European stage, passing turning point after development and grabbing heaps of honors, his kinsmen view him as the nation's second best football player ever.

The two players have never won the World Cup: Although the last adjusts of the cutting edge UEFA Champions League would match the FIFA World Cup regarding quality, with gifts from around the world progressively moved in the hands of a first class few, the World Cup still holds significant representative incentive as a quadrennial rivalry which pit the best of one country against the best of another. Its a well known fact Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have never won (or roused their individual nations to win) the FIFA World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo has won an European Cup (The Euros) with his nation of origin, Portugal yet has never been to the semi-finals or the finals of the World Cup while Lionel Messi was disappointing in the 2014 world glass semi-last and last with his nation of origin Argentina in the long run losing to Germany. The World (and Messi) was stunned when he was named the best player and granted the Golden Ball of the competition. Lionel Messi is additionally a three-time sprinter up in the Copa America rivalry with Argentina. Most football players, for example, Zinedine Zidane, Pele, Diego Maradonna, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo de Lima and so on frequently touted as the world's best ever football player all assumed overwhelming parts in the World Cup competition they in the end won. The same can't be said by and by of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

They are not Football's best Goal-scorers ever: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are productive, successful and marvelous objective scorers gloating astounding objective per coordinate proportion yet they aren't among the five best objective scorers in football history. Neither of them have scored up in excess of 700 objectives in their particular vocations so they can't be in the organization of awesome players, for example, Pele, Romario, Josef Bican, Ferenc Puskas (he has a FIFA objective scoring grant named after him), Gerd Muller. The rate of scoring of these incredible players is more great than that of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo given they finished their footballing professions with objective counts well into the 800s. So if scoring objectives are what makes footballers incredible, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, having better players gloating better objective counts in front of them, can't be the best footballers ever.

The two players have been blamed for being hoodlums: They both have impose installment issues with the Spanish specialists (the nation they dwell and play in) thus have been blamed for being lawbreakers. After a long trial that pulled in such a great amount of reputation because of his status as a remarkably skilled sportsman, Lionel Messi (and his dad) was discovered liable of not paying his assessments to the Spanish government, fined vigorously and condemned to two years in jail (he has since consented to pay an expanded fine as opposed to have a 21-month suspended jail sentence). His trial, liable decision, fine and (suspended) sentence harmed his believability as an ethically upright competitor who couldn't take the blame no matter what and that of his football club (FC Barcelona). Cristiano Ronaldo is likewise being researched for tax avoidance by the Spanish experts, may be attempted (or not), vigorously fined and get a suspended jail sentence.

Their general objective counts are cushioned with an excessive number of punishments: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the best objective scorers of their age. They score profane number of objectives in a football season yet 50% of the aggregate objectives scored the two players have originated from the punishment spot. In football, punishments are the most straightforward approach to score since it includes just the assigned punishment taker and an objective guardian to beat. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, being the assigned punishment takers of their separate club sides, dependably take each extra shot granted them or their colleagues in this way expanding their objective counts. In 2013/2014 Football season in England, Luis Suarez of Liverpool FC (before he moved to FC Barcelona to wind up a colleague of Lionel Messi) won the most elevated objective scorer grant in the English Premier League and shared the European Golden Shoe grant with Cristiano Ronaldo by scoring 32 objectives in 33 amusements in open play without taking a solitary punishment. That is a record Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo don't yet hold.

They play for football's most significant clubs: Messi and Ronaldo play for super-clubs in Spain where the best sides score objectives by the hatful. The second thousand years' new money related request shockingly brought forth the advanced super group basically making a specific type of consistency in both local and mainland alliances. Lionel Messi plays for FC Barcelona in Spain while Ronaldo plays for Real Madrid CF likewise in Spain. FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF are to a great degree rich and prevailing football clubs that can bear to purchase and store the best and most costly football ability anyplace on the planet thus Messi and Ronaldo are constantly encompassed and helped by world-class players to help in overwhelming mainland club football in this manner raising their worldwide profiles. The two clubs dependably have a huge number of world-class players available to them which prompts articulate control in local (Spanish La Liga) and mainland (UEFA Champions League) football rivalries.

The advantage of playing in the Modern Era: It is relatively difficult to analyze players of various time in a diversion that has changed such a great amount throughout the years. Awesome footballers like Ferenc Puskas, Alfredo di Stefano played in a period when the diversion was played at a beat unrecognizably slower than in the advanced time. That does not make them less awesome than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The amusement played directly has changed due to changes in rules administering the diversion and the nature of footballs delivered and utilized. Players in the cutting edge time are additionally fitter, quicker, and more grounded than they have ever been, yet players (particularly protectors) are in fact weaker than they have ever been. The Champions League's developments of the nineties is likewise leeway to the cutting edge player: having a gathering stage permits a wiggle room that just did not exist in the thump out style pre-1995 competition. It has never been less demanding for assailants - Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo most likely could never score 40-60 objectives a season in the 1980s when the tenets representing the diversion and footballs utilized didn't benefits aggressors (strikers), and safeguards/protections were covered with world-class gifts.
