Regardless of who you think is better, it's beyond me how people tend to forget it's a team sport and that achievements doesn't tell the full story. Like, all the finals Messi has reached with quite varying Argentine teams aren't really less impressive from him than they would be if Higuain could actually score a sitter when it mattered. Then Portugal wins the Euros despite only winning a single match in 90 minutes and Ronaldo fans just like at the amount of international trophies despite Ronaldo not even playing the final. I'm not saying anything about who is better, but Portugal has a really good team right now with or without Ronaldo (and Argentina does not really) and them winning isn't really a stamp on anything regarding Messi. The "hot take" (I'm not really sure it is one, seems like common sense to me) here is that Ronaldo essentially did as much on the pitch for Portugal in 2016 as Messi did for Argentina in 2014, and Messi's team won more games and beat better teams. The key difference really is, as you said, that Higuain screwed up and Eder somehow didn't. --- Not to be confused with XIII_stones. https://imgur.com/agodP3r <cite>XIII_rocks posted [p:954986110] in Euro 2020 ...
