Cristiano Ronaldo has said on his YouTube Channel UR Cristiano that he wishes to reach 1000 goals. In his interview with Rio Ferdinand, Ronaldo said that he still loves Manchester United and that Erik Ten Hag said to change his mindset. CR7 also believes that Ruud Van Nistelrooy will be a good addition to the Manchester United staff. Ronaldo is starting his third season at Al-Nassr. Ronaldo and Al-Nassr drew 1-1 against Al-Ahli at home after equalising in the 99th minute via an own goal. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi is out injured for Inter Miami. Inter Miami coach Tata Martino said Messi is no longer under minutes restriction and can return to face Philadelphia. However, how have both of them fared in international major tournaments so far in their careers? Ronaldo said that he aims to play at the 2026 World Cup where he will be 41. But has he done better than Messi in major tournaments so far? Let's find out! IGNORE THIS!

Yeah bro, your tone literally said your a ronaldo fan. Your saying messi got carried when he was the second highest goal scorer and a great captain . Without him they would not have won the world cup . Broski messi is statistically way better than ronaldo . He scores more crucial goals that actually helps the team

[Nathanielkoyfman]

2018 alone Messi had 2 assists against France with a team he had to drag to even qualify for the WC. If Ronaldo gets credit for getting Portugal to 3rd place in the ground stage in euro 2016, Messi does for singlehandedly giving the WC winner that year a lot of problems. Meanwhile Ronaldo ghosted against Uruguay in the round of 16. In 2016 Pepe was more valuable for Portugal and Griezmann was the POTT for good reason.

The only thing i know is messi have 4 international POTT and ronaldo have 0, also 0 KO G/A in 5 WC

[shouma]

To ronny fans It doesn't matter what Messi achieves Ronaldo is bigger international player because he has more goals specially in qualifying Matches against 200+ ranked team which Messi doesn't even faces 😂
Sunil Chhetri is bigger international player for them than R9 because of number of goals lol..
To be a bigger international player you don't have to win awards and trophies you just farm goals than you're good to go in Ronaldo fans top 3 best international player of all time 👍🏻

[Messigamer-fybz]

😂 Are you serious bro, youre not even trying to hide your bias anymore. Bro said Messi was CARRIED for most of world cup 2022 💀 Also Ronaldo ghosted in back to back tournaments, 2022 and 2024, only having ONE goal (a penalty) and ONE assist combined, also trying to claim a goal that clearly wasnt his. I'm sorry, but saying Ronaldo has had a better international career is hilarious, 2 trophies vs 3 🤫

[horus]

Ronaldo 2016 euros >Messi 2015 copa🫵😭 are you ranking who is the better player or who you prefered❓

[AliSagmal-fo]

I never understand how ppl think Cr7 isnt a top 5 international player ever

[PaynusTon-xqfq]

Watched some of your vids comparing Messi and Ronaldo here and I'm sorry but the bias is absolutely palpable.

Whenever you seem to talk about Messi's 2022 World Cup, you always downplay it because of "questionable" penalties, which aside from the fact most of them were actually penalties, even if you disagree, the decision is still subjective. However whenever you glaze Ronaldo's UCL runs you never ever mention the calls in that game against Bayern. Scoring 2 offside goals is not subjective, that is blatant incorrect and favourable decision making. Not to mention Vidal's ridiclous red card and Casemiro not getting booked for multiple fouls, which I won't contradict myself and say these were objectively incorrect, but it certainly does all line up in being massively favoured for Real Madrid. And then you can talk about other instances such as Ramos' offside goal against Atletico in the final or the "questionable" penalty on Vazquez against Juventus.

Don't get me wrong, not saying that Real Madrid rigged their UCLs, but to consistently make sly comments about Messi's World Cup but never ever critique the much more blatant favouritism in Real Madrid's threepeat and make Ronaldo's UCL knockout runs seem picture perfect and something out of a fairytale is just immensely hypocritical.

[Messigamer-fybz]

Selfish pen merchant or complete magician 🤔 wonder whos the goat...

[lt]

So basically Messi with higest goal contributions at wc 2022 is carried but ronaldo being a bench warmer and without himhis team winning by 6-1 against switzerland is not being carried 😂😂

[Bob-cgu]

Worlds worst list to me it’s probable 11 to 1 for Messi when Ronaldo ghosts he ghosts when Messi ghosts he still probably dribbled against a thousand players

[okwyunams]

The title of your video should be "Trying to show why goatnaldo has been underrated by some and why Flopessi has been overrated by most" rather than pretend to be neutral. Anyone who watches football knows that on an individual level, Ronaldo has been just slightly better than a flop in international tournaments and compensates by always being present in statpadding euros and WC qualifiers. You always seem to suggest Ronaldo doing more than just scoring and pretend that Messi has to be top barca Messi in order to have a good game. If in your books Ronaldo was good in more than 2 games in 2018 WC, then Messi has literally been good in at leasf 98% of all his international tourneys

[binodtharu]

Ronaldo being an international flop argument is something that I won’t understand at all. You can debate and argue and say that Messi is a better international player but to say that Ronaldo is a flop international is just a wrong statement. Ronaldo is the international mens all time top goal scorer. He is Portugal’s all time top goal soccer and top assist provider. Euro competitions all top goal scorer and top assist provider.

He also won Two trophies with Portugal which are the Euros and the nations league. He finished as the top goal scorer in the euros 2 times and has 1 Euro golden boot and silver boot. He also has 1 Nations league golden boot. If he was bad in those campaigns as according to what some people have to say then why was he included in the Euros team of the tournament for the euros held in 2004, 2012 and 2016 he should have been included in 2020 euros as well. Even in the Nations league he was included in the Team of the tournament in 2019. And there are more to prove as to why ronaldo is not an international flop as claimed by some people.

Interesting picks but I'm wondering if you just glanced at the stats for these tournaments rather than actually watching them

I'd say most people would agree

Euro 2004 > Copa America 2007
Ronaldo 2006 > Messi 2006
Euro 2008 < Copa America 2011
Ronaldo 2010 < Messi 2010
Euro 2012 < Copa America 2015
Ronaldo 2014 < Messi 2014
Euro 2016 > Copa America 2016
Ronaldo 2018 < Messi 2018
Nations League 2019 > Copa America 2019
Euro 2020 < Copa America 2021 (glad you give messi props here this was a crazy individual performance)
Ronaldo 2022 < Messi 2022
Ronaldo 2024 < Messi 2024

Overall Score: Ronaldo 4 - 8 Messi
Feel free to debate me on any of my picks since I have watched all of the tournaments since 2010 :)

[Sejm]

So delusional and biased it’s exhausting to sit this one through my god

[jackflanved]

This guy is a professional crier, he has been crying since 2009 and more than ever from 2022. Seriously is this a debate anymore?

[riteshbagati]

Good argument. However 4 international POTT says different

[thewheelofafox]

The messi hating is crazy😂, but yh i couldn't give 2 shites what you said in this vid cus you obviously were blind when messi played the Olympics and u20 wc, which i definitely rate higher than the McDonald's euros.
But in conclusion, keep crying, one will be remembered as the best player in international tournaments while the other will have his fans explaining why he couldn't even get a wc ko goal contribution in 5 campaigns 🤣

[Quipie]

bro’s back randomly after disappearing for a month

[SachinBunkar-tq]

Messi 4 player of the tournament
How many Ronaldo has, i don't know i will wait for reply
