This man is right, there is no debate.
Anyone who watches both players and truly understands the sport knows that Messi’s the greatest.
Eamon Dunphy's speech was so good Liam Brady was taking notes.
Nobody can deny the passion Dunphy has for football, he was almost brought to tears describing Messi. He's a very emotional man, I don't always agree with his opinion but I respect him enormously. 👏
Messi king of football ronaldo only box inside player
This explains it perfectly, there is absolutely no debate. To any human who understands the sport of soccer/football, it is more than clear that Messi is a better player than Ronaldo, by far.
Great analysis ..,Dunphy is the Messi of commentators!!!!
Messi is like mozart. Individuals born with a unique gift. Luckily for us, both of them found their way to their "art", and they just excel above everyone else. Nice! Go Messi, keep playing the beautiful game...
Messi is like Mozart, Ronaldo is like Craig David.
@@Camcolito Ronaldo is like chopin 🤣
You can compare Messi and Ronaldo's stats and be seriously misled. Even when everyone was saying Ronaldo deserved his last two Balon D'ors I disagreed.
Messi plays for the team. He often plays from deep and is a strongest influence in almost every game he plays. Ronaldo is only ever thinking about himself. His selfishness has really surfaced this year though, storming off the pitch after real Madrid won because he didn't score. Gesturing angrily towards Bale when he scored because Ronaldo wanted a tap in.
Ronaldo was a great player in the premier league because he took on players, was proactive and was even sometimes a team player. He's a shadow of that now. He's invisible in games. He only scores so many now because his teammates always look to pass with him in the fear of his anger if they don't. He dives and disrespects the ref's every game. Yes, he gets lots of assists but his assists are generally very simple pass backs when his team has done all the hard work.
Basically anyone who really watches and cares about football, with any integrity will have no doubt that Messi is a much greater player and more importantly person.
ssj9997 I've been saying this for so long now and most of the time get a load of rubbish back saying that's not true bla bla, so glad to see somebody else who has actually realised this. He's a fantastic player no doubt about that and when he finally does lose his pace a couple years from now we'll never see somebody as good as him but for me Messi is and always has been the better out of the two. When have you ever seen Messi refuse to celebrate a goal and then say "they know why i'm unhappy" after the game. Even with that I doubt we'll ever see a player match what those two can do and have done. Fun fact; I typed this just after Ronaldo missed a pen against Valencia :]
pvpl0l It's so painful living in England when discussions of Messi/Ronaldo come up as most people in England just don't understand the game...So many fans over here are too biased of the premier league and Ronaldo, especially Man U fans. Ronaldo IMO was at his best in England (and first year at Madrid) because he contributed more to the team and was a more exciting player to watch. Nowadays his ego has got too big....he no longer takes on players, instead he just demands to be fed tap-ins by his teammates
ssj9997 Well said, Ronaldo got angry with a RB for scoring, such a greedy player.
ssj9997 Apologies for the belated reply, you know how work can be. I mean he was at his best in the PL in the sense that he was trying to prove himself and contributed to the team but of course his ability today has far surpassed what it was then. That being said I even noticed myself the other day that rather than taking somebody on in the Juve game he was just doing step overs and consequently got tackled, also the tap-ins and penalties are so frequent these days for him it's really not fun to watch given how good he is. Another point, everybody goes on like he's the best free-kick taker there ever was? What was it about 2-3 weeks back he scored one and the commentator had said that was his first goal from a direct free-kick in over a year lol. Last thing as far as the PL goes, only thing any of us can be biased towards our league this year is that it still has the best atmosphere as the PL this year has been dreadful to watch. They need to step it up or eventually they'll lose one of their European places just like Italy did years ago.
pvpl0l Yeah I love the premier league due to it's competitiveness, especially the equal distribution of money unlike spain! It's just a shame that it's gone so far downhill since 2008....I mean how many top players are there left in the PL, Hazard, Courtois, Aguero, Di Maria and De Gea are the only really world class players left! even then Di Maria has been poor and De Gea is likely to leave for Madrid...
Messi got inborn talent and upon that he worked hard that's his secret g.o.a.t.
YES... HE' S A GENIUS. AN THE BEST FOREVER AND EVER... MESSSI...!!!
I salute eamon for revealed the truth to the world that messi is always best.
As goalscorers you can argue for both but as players... Messi is on a different planet to anyone who has ever played the game.
i cant understand what this man is saying but I think he is absolutely right... :)
why not?
HE'S A GENIUS. AND THE BEST FOREVER AND EVER... JUST MESSI...!!!
He is right, There is a ruthlessness about him, without being cruel!!!
GOAT 🌠👽👑⚽🇦🇷🏆📣
Best Player of all time no doubts about it
BEAUTIFUL words
Wise words, someone who knows his stuff
That boateng move then the little flip over Neur...JUST EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well said...
Messi is a genius
its sad that now people wont consider messi as the greatest because of the argentine national team
asu verga mate not all ppl.. only the haters n ppl those who really do not know wat is Football..
@@denisdblay We have to thank Higuain for that!
He's won it finally!!
They still won't 😂

On Ronald look for pens in big games and pray for pens 😂😂
eamon always knew. i suppose we all did.
Who is here after the Liverpool match 3:0
Who's here after the liverpool match 4:0
Irish pundits are too mint
All players have a ruthlessness about them! No feeling in football!
Who the hell are these other guys that he mentioned n why is he comparing them to Messi? Doncaster n Sheffield champions? Sunday league legends?? 🤣
Jay Murthy exactly what I was thinking lmao!
He said sporting greats Brian O Driscoll, Tony McCoy, Ruby Walsh and Henry Shefflin.
Tony Mc Coy (Jockey) Brian o Driscoll (Rugby) Henry Shefflin (Hurling) Considered the best at their respective sports and all are Irish.
Dumpy has been prattling his bullshit for how many years?
Fair play to him, he’s made good money
christ, now dunphy is saying awesome!
Balsham91 the word has been around for about 500 years....
Penaldo inside box player only
Penaldo inside box player
Ronaldo who?
Messi is a great club player but never won a world cup Diego Maradona will always be better
Fuck off he nearly won it last summer, what did maradona ever do in europe for any team
brian lawless nearly still not good enough Messi is a great player for barca and a great club player but he could not do in the world cup where it matters most for his country thats the difference i hope he does win the world cup but he can be a bottler in the real big matches misses a pen against chelsea shocking against Germany. Barcelona suits him because the team is built around him hope i am proved wrong but i don,t buy into hype
brian lawless Uhhh...you do know he single handily won Napoli the league? It was the equivilant of Messi turning up at Villa and winning it with them. Not saying one or the other, but Maradona was a great player too.
Lynk I meant in the champions league, and thats a myth he won the league single handedly that napoli team had some good players
+qwer8907 And Alberta would be better than Cruyff right?... Messi is not better than Maradona, its extremely better. I have seen Maradona two years every week and always thought he was the greatest ever... until Messi. Messi is clearly superior regardless of whether the ball goes in or not in a world cup final.
