@ demonyo - so by "lately" i didn't mean yesterday and last week or the last few months but recent years in general

i don't look at the stats of la liga, but maybe it's the way real plays that makes cronaldo stand out more as the difference maker at least in games i watch-- namely champions league + international matches.

yes, marcelo was the amazing one this week yet cronaldo scored the goals. and it's always him for some reason that comes out of nowhere with a piece of genius and completely changes the complexion of a game right where it makes a difference. he just handles those crucial moments so fucking well. nobody else does it like him.

it's not just the ballons d'or he's taken from lionel but also there are the champions league cups and the euros and all these amazing victories while messi wilted at 2 copa américas and world cups and had a fit and quit playing for his team.

yes it's a team thing but also (again maybe due to the system of play) i haven't seen messi single-handedly change the direction of an important game lately the way cronaldo does. he does it of course. but his teams don't make it as high as his archrival's. who are probably going for la duodécima this years unless someone (something) stops them.

tldr; i've seen it's possible to shut down messi in big games-- but cronaldo... good luck trying.

i gotta watch that juve game today if possible. yesterday's split screen was mind-boggling and exhausting and not good to take in strategy and tactics. so apparently it deserves its own viewing and i should
