So you agree that Ronaldo beasting it in those games in knock outs makes him the better player overall that season?
Your speaking shite again min.
Have already said CL is seen as more prestigious but the bigger barometer of better sides and two from each country is the league.
Go back to Coutinho thread and tell everyone how shit he is. You dont have a clue.
What a weak and desperate straw-man you've been clinging to for months to deflect and steer away the discussion when your actual argument is blatant rubbish. Just deflecting from yet another stupid opinion which you've got a fair share of akin to "keeping Cesc and selling Thiago the 4th choice mid was the right call" or "Neymar best player in the world" or "Dele Alli would be an elite deep lying midfielder" lmao.
This too is an utter rubbish claim that you have made next to no solid arguments in favor of.... Head to head?? Gimme a break. No one uses head to head as an indicator in the overall performance of a season other than as a tie breaker, matchups/tactics/context all skew that greatly.
Since the beginning of 14/15 RM have won 10 total trophies to our 9. 2 CL trophies to 1 and have made the CL finals in 2 years and semifinals in the other year compared to 2 quarterfinal exits and 1 finals appearance. Equal in league points up until this season. We even handicapped a CDR title without having to play them due to disqualification. I even gave you a more flattering example for Barca based on the timescale. If you extend this timeframe back 1 year further it looks even WORSE for us as they have a 3rd CL win and finals appearance while we had yet ANOTHER quarterfinals exit. To anyone else except you those CL wins would have a lot of extra weight as it is clearly BY FAR the most prestigious club competition in the world. And winning 3 titles in 4 years is not "just a handful of games" it is a trend across multiple seasons and NO ONE else has won CL's that frequently in a short period.
You're even over here trying to shit on Stoichkov1 saying "La Liga's isn't about total points accumulated and margins of a few games but rather # of titles won" and then double standard the exact opposite for the CL with "oh but it's not about having 3 titles in 4 years but rather just a handful of games in their favor". What a substandard demonstration of "logic".
Please go to any neutral site and make these same claims of "Barca better than RM in the past 3 years" or "Barca better starting XI than RM in 16/17". It would be genuinely embarrassing and you would get absolutely eviscerated for saying it if they even bothered to give your opinion attention in the first place.
And for the record I don't agree at all that Ronaldo was better in 2016. But you were making grand claims on behalf of "football managers" and the like, the 2016 Balon D'or is as definitive proof as you could get otherwise. Domestic comps all favored Messi, CL favored Ronaldo and that gave him the Balon D'or by a RECORD MARGIN of votes. That's what people actually believe. Not your utter BS.
You are a master troll tho I'll give you that
