11 games, half the goals were Penaldo's. Big fucking deal.

Quagriella at 36 did the same last season. Luca Toni and Di Natale were scoring a bag full in their late 30s in the last few years. It's a weak league overall.

Yes, he'll be banging them in somewhere at 40 and will shatter most goalscoring records. He's great at perseverance and longevity but it's a joke that he's still billed as a top 2 player in the world.

next stop: Ligue 1 Uber Eats

if PSG lose Mbappe or Neymar, or maybe even both, i think they'll sign Ronaldo

Never going to win the CL at this age with a supporting cast like the one at Juventus. Lad will continue to bag himself loads of goals in Serie A and win a few more league titles perhaps.

EURO 2020 is where his real Ballon D'or hopes rest.

He looks human without good service/crosses. Yes, he's undoubtedly a better goal scorer than Messi in CL away games.

But people have a tendency to shit on Messi inordinately for this because Messi's best years in the CL 08-12 and 14-15 are farther removed from memory. Especially the Pep years where Messi had an all-star cast around him like CR7 did at RM from 14-18. In recent years, CR7's clearly outdone Messi.

Messi's top performances in the CL QF/SFs (RM, Bayern, Pool, Arsenal) are still more complete/impressive than CR7's top performances in the QF/SFs (Bayern x 2, Juve, AM).

Regardless, both are looking more and more human in this competition this year. Still can turn in a clinic at home but away from home, it's starting to slow down.

Messi is a better finisher, henceforth feed him and put him 1 on 1 vs keeper as has been done with Ronaldo and Messi would be scoring far more goals.

I think the difference between 2 is that Ronaldo capitalized at max when he had the team to win the CL, unfortunately for whatever reason I can't say the same for Messi. We should have won definitely at least another CL in Pep era, without talking the fiasco of last season when we had the title on red carpet.

Anyway he'll turn the tie at Stadium, we know that, the biggest obstacle for Juve could be corona virus :crbust:
