If we look only at the stats, Cristiano is not even close to Messi and Suarez

That's true, and the thing is, stats only tell a fraction of the story. Messi, just by the way he plays, creates so much space for his teammates. He's often surrounded by 3 to 4 players who can't help but gravitate towards him whenever he's got the ball. Ditto for Suarez, Neymar and other greats.
Ronaldo is a good poacher and ok finisher but his shot to goal ratio is not out of this world. In 2015/16 in which his performance was hailed by many as spectacular, he scored 35 times in his 36 La Liga games. While that, isolated, is an impressive stat, gotta note that it took him 227 shots at goal to do so. That's more attempt than any1 else by far. Conversion rate is 15.42.
In all competitions (Liga, CL, Euro, Euro Qualifier), he's got a roughly similar average of 15.06% which is decent but not prodigy level. And those are the stats for what he's best at, scoring goals.
I think the dude's got skills and motivation up the ying yang but he doesn't even make my top 10 list of fav players in terms of completeness and overall contribution to the pot.

And it's not cuz I'm hating on RM, I'm a fan of Zizou and I like Bale a lot :cheers:
 
Legia are even struggling in the Polish league, I've heard. Don't think we should be too surprised if he beats, or at least equals, Messi's 5 goal in a CL game record. He will probably reach 100 CL goals tonight too. Malmö last year was comically bad, but I fear Legia might surpass them.

They are first, but only have 25 points after 12 games, with 18 goals scored and 14 conceded.

No need to dribble to tap the ball in the net at the end of a play though.

That's all that matters in the end.

What was his dribbling stat again in Fifa 17?

91.

yes, 91. A fucking joke.
He is easily the most overrated player in history. He'll have skill legacies in things he doesnt deserve (dribble, pass etc). Its really disgusting.

He shouldnt be above 75 tbh.

Which, btw, is higher than Iniesta rating (90).

Two assists, the one for Asensio was great IMO. Had to sort his feet very quickly. Brb loads of other players currently playing have been WC for the last ten years.
