    Il fenomeno is just different.

    I’ve always thought had he not been hit with injury all the time and played on a team with a working system, he’d possibly achieved everything Messi achieved today.

      Zlatan and Shearer on par with Suarez, Bati-gol, Henry and van Basten ahead.

      And none of us saw Stefano play but…

      Suarez can’t be top 3 when he has 27 goals in the Champions League.

      I remember arguments on r/soccer I had years ago where people told me Gerd was far better than Ronaldo because he scored more goals and that made him a better player.

    Endrick is way too raw to be a starting striker for RM. I hope Perez signs someone so we won’t have the same problem we are having now, only one striker in the team, Joselu this season and Endrick in the next one. Endrick should mix Castilla games with some first team appearances.

      You have to take into consideration that Endrick barely played in, like, half of these 56 matches. His evolution in the last months have been pretty evident, I think he’ll definitely ruin many defenders’ day when he arrives at Madrid

      Still mad they passed up on Kane, would’ve been perfect to allow for Endrick to develop alongside and eventually replace him once he declined.

    Pato left Brazil with only 27 official games, but he scored 12 goals and had 1 assist, all of that before turning 18. Unfortunately his career wasn’t what we expected, but his first professional years are also really impressive.

    It should be pointed out that Endrick reached 56 games younger than the other two, tbh (which also led to him playing fewer minutes per game). I think both were already over 18 at that point, and Endrick is 17 and 4 months.

    The next in line will be signed before he scores or assists single goal and the one after that before he is even born.

    I’ve watched football since 1990 and r9 at his peak was IMHO better than Messi, Ronaldo or anyone else I’ve watched. I can’t speak for maradona and pele as I never watched them live. If r9 had the dedication of cr7 and durability of Messi , I think he could be the GOAT

      If you’ve watched football since 1990 you really should have seen Maradona, he played in the 1990 and 1994 world cups.

        Typo , I watched Italia 90 but only properly started leagues watching around 93. He was amazing in usa94, maybe the argies could have won it if he didn’t get disqualified……

    R9 was a beast. Has been said a million times, but again too bad he had those injuries.
