>>149854066>UCL team quality is betterWhich means both your team and the opponent team are gong to be less well oiled and individualities will shine more than overall systems.
> And until 5 pen 2022 cup messi was equally shit (...) in his WC stats.You can remove the pens and Messi still has better stats.
Not that it matters, you're the one upset with the stats here because it's the main metric you use to pretend Ronaldo is better, so you're stuck having to argue against the importance of WC stats while pretending they're the be all end all outside of the WC.
>with a better teamThis is a meme. Either Argentina is a fraud and all their WCs are rigged or Argentina has always been a major powerhouse that carried Messi throughout, it all depends on what point benefits CR the most.
In reality, Portugal has had plenty of all time greats and just never had a good team built to make use of them. Figo, Deco and company had a great run in 2006 and with some luck against France in the semi finals they could very well have won it. Eusebio was perhaps the most deserving winner in 1966 over riggi England and doping Germany. The 2022 (and current) Portuguese team have no reason to envy Argentina.
>Which do you think is a better predictor of the best players?Klose, R9 and Gerd Mรผller were absolute beasts. And like I mentioned, a simple "who scored the most" will never give you a better idea about who's the better player. You have see them play and understand what it is that they brought to the team. Maradona doesn't have such good stats yet I can't imagine someone trying to convince me that he wasn't the most skilful player int he world in the late 80s.
