RONALDO PLAYING....

The best I've ever seen him play! :shock:

I used to think he was massively overrated but he is bossing the pitch today!

Credit to the guy!

Yeah I think he is win a realistic shout for the Balon D'or this year should they win the double. Improved hugely, not a bottler anymore and an all round machine

What is it now, 142 in 140 for RM?

Showing Messi how not to bottle the big occasion.

Every time mate, Adaptable as he can play left wing,right wing,down the middle and he is great in the air.
Messi is not so if i could have either Ronaldo for me. :D

I didn't realise Ronaldos scoring record was so good in Spain

Ronaldo 108 goals in 97 games :o (portugal 32 goals in 88)
Messi 160 goals in 210 games (Argentina 22 goals in 68)

Both massively impressive.

i will agree that ronaldo is better in the air and can use both feet better but football is about more than that for me. Messi is far more of a team player and doesn't crave the limelight, he has better vision and balance than ronaldo and chooses the right option about 95% of the time. Ronaldo on the other hand will often waste possession and will choose to shoot when there are far better options around him.
Ronaldo is a top top player but messi in my opinion is on a different planet :ayatollah:

He bottled it

He didn't do much after the first half hour, and for me he missed the most important penalty in any shoot out, your teams first.

He still converted his initial pen and scored another.

But when the real pressure, the real ''moment'' arrived he crumbled like a soggy custard cream :(

Surely they needed the first pen more otherwise the later pen wouldn't have happened.

Lots of top player miss pens in shoot outs.

Messi has a rep if going missing in major internationals tournaments.

no one will remember ronaldo's first pen, plenty will remember his 2nd though ;)
John terry world class defender, no one will forget his pen, but they will forget his red card as they still went through

So memory decides a bottler?

Terry hasnt been a world class CB for many a year.
