But you see him missing against Newcastle, Stoke, Fulham, Man City, Man United, Rangers, Charlton and West Ham...

 

In the 24 Ronaldo has taken for Real, he has missed 1, Mr Messi who has taken 27 for Barca has missed 7. 79% success rate compared to Ronaldo 96% at Real.

so what your saying is that messis superior goal record is not based 'free goals' ie penalties like ronaldos is.

aye only missing one penalty for real is better than i expected.

 

i still think he does crumble a little under pressure when taking big penalties.

hardly the biggest criticism of course.

18 months ago it was he did not score enough in big games, he now has scored in 6 consecutive Classico's

 

He seems to just be getting better, and more consistent with age.

aye right enough.

just wonder how long hiom and messi can go on like they are.

 

i have a feeling though the c.l. will elude him at real however.

 

he winna be able to keep going like this for another 5 years. surely.
