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 ruled world football (soccer) more than any others; Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. These incredible adversaries have broken endless football records, scored crazy number of objectives and pushed each other the distance to significance regardless of the way that they are two altogether different football players, playing two altogether different styles in two altogether different jobs for two distinct clubs. The main thing that truly associates the two is the sea of capacity that isolates them from whatever is left of the players on the planet. There can be no doubt with respect to whether the couple has a place in the pantheon of football unsurpassed 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 by and large 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 amazing assaulting ability is regularly contrasted with Cristiano Ronaldo's. Ronaldo de Lima was a progressively hazardous and finish striker who might have most likely been the 'World's Best Striker Ever' in the event 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 electorate throughout the years, remarkable objective scoring rates, by and large wellness and delayed vocation (because of low rate of wounds) yet for sheer expertise, dangerousness, unrivaled 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 unfortunately, Lionel Messi isn't both. Lionel Messi isn't the best football player Argentina has created. That respect goes to Diego Armando Maradona. Maradona (broadly viewed as outstanding amongst other football players) is a footballing legend that motivated 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 distinguished South American country when another star makes advances on the square. In this way, while Messi has amazed on the European stage, passing many milestones and getting heaps of honors, his comrades 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 present day UEFA Champions League would equal the FIFA World Cup regarding quality, with abilities from around the world progressively moved in the hands of a tip top few, the World Cup still holds considerable emblematic incentive as a quadrennial rivalry which pit the best of one country against the best of another. Its a dependable fact Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have never won (or roused their particular 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 container 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 regularly touted as the world's best ever football player all assumed predominant jobs in the World Cup competition they in the end won. The equivalent can't be said directly of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. 

They are not Football's best Goal-scorers ever: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are proficient, viable and incredible objective scorers flaunting 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 individual professions so they can't be in the organization of extraordinary 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 amazing players is more noteworthy than that of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo given they finished their footballing vocations with objective counts well into the 800s. So if scoring objectives are what makes footballers incredible, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, having better players bragging better objective counts ahead 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 protracted preliminary that pulled in such a great amount of exposure because of his status as an especially skilled sportsman, Lionel Messi (and his dad) was discovered liable of not making good on his regulatory expenses to the Spanish government, fined intensely 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 preliminary, liable decision, fine and (suspended) sentence harmed his validity as an ethically upstanding competitor who couldn't take the blame no matter what and that of his football club (FC Barcelona). Cristiano Ronaldo is additionally being explored for tax avoidance by the Spanish experts, may be attempted (or not), intensely 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 least demanding approach to score since it includes just the assigned punishment taker and an objective manager 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 partners subsequently expanding their objective counts. In 2013/2014 Football season in England, Luis Suarez of Liverpool FC (before he moved to FC Barcelona to end up a partner of Lionel Messi) won the most noteworthy 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 lamentably brought forth the cutting edge super group basically making a specific type of consistency in both local and mainland classes. Lionel Messi plays for FC Barcelona in Spain while Ronaldo plays for Real Madrid CF additionally in Spain. FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF are to a great degree rich and overwhelming football clubs that can stand to purchase and reserve 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 commanding mainland club football subsequently raising their global profiles. The two clubs dependably have a huge number of world-class players available to them which prompts articulate control in residential (Spanish La Liga) and mainland (UEFA Champions League) football rivalries. 

The advantage of playing in the Modern Era: It is relatively difficult to think about players of various time in an amusement that has changed such a great amount throughout the years. Incredible footballers like Ferenc Puskas, Alfredo di Stefano played in a period when the amusement was played at a rhythm unrecognizably slower than in the cutting edge time. That does not make them less extraordinary than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The amusement played by and by has changed due to changes in principles administering the diversion and the nature of footballs created and utilized. Players in the cutting edge time are additionally fitter, quicker, and more grounded than they have ever been, however players (particularly protectors) are in fact more fragile than they have ever been. The Champions League's developments of the nineties is likewise favorable position to the advanced player: having a gathering stage permits a room for mistakes that basically did not exist in the thump out style pre-1995 competition. It has never been less demanding for aggressors - Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo most likely could never score 40-60 objectives a season during the 1980s when the standards overseeing the diversion and footballs utilized didn't benefits assailants (strikers), and safeguards/guards were covered with world-class gifts. 

They are a piece of football's rich history: We see the historical backdrop of the diversion through our own national encounters, or if nothing else we did until the cutting edge time, where we can watch the Spanish association, Messi and Ronaldo consistently. It merits recollecting that during the 1970s and even into the 1980s, the vast majority of Europe just viewed the European Cup and UEFA Cup recreations of their own national groups. In this way, here is a little recommendation; whenever Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo score a stunning objective and somebody on Twitter s
