    Ronaldos having his best season to since he was at man Utd and Messi is not playing as well as he can and I stilk think Messi's ahead of him in this form. He's just not the regular Messi.

    No he isn't. Messi is having a brilliant season and so is Ronaldo.

    Messi having a bad season is myth in my opinion.

    more goals and more assists,plus a bigger influence on most games.....also a large chunk of goals havent come from the penalty spot(goals a goal but its been handed on a plate)

    so no, messi isnt having a bad season compared to Ronaldo :50:

    Thats always the excuse you and the badger give, he scores tap ins, penalty's bla bla bla. Truth is he gets in the positions to get that goal, he has the head to score every penalty he takes, the guy has every footballing trait you need in a footballer and more, constantly scoring hat-tricks and pushing real Madrid forward.

    Messi this year as matured as a player.

    He's becoming the most complete player the world has ever seen.

    Goals from open play this season.

    Messi 35
    Ronaldo 23

    Just thought I would share that stat. For anyone who thinks Messi is having a bad season in comparison to Ronaldo.

    Is it you Mystic? If so that would explain alot.

    interestingly.....Ronaldo and Messi have both scored 3 headers each this season and Messi has also scored 3 more goals with his weaker foot :50:
