    Desperate for Messi to win it.

    Then have all the Ronaldo fans saying the Euros is harder to win. Absolute * heads.

    Ronaldo wasn’t even the reason Portugal won in 2016, he scored 3 goals all tournament - 1 in the knockouts and came off in the final after 25 minutes. Their back line took most of the credit from what I remember - think they only won 1 game in 90 mins the whole tournament.

    Obviously still an incredible achievement but doesn’t compare to the impact Messi has on this Argentina squad.

    When you’re hard to beat you always give yourself a chance I suppose

    Yesssss

    American commentator on my stream is right, Argentina have been needing those around Messi to step up in these major tournaments. Too often in big games those around him fluffed chances (Higuain springs to mind). Big moment for Di Maria

    He was still a main reason they won it, can't believe the amount of people (well Messi-ites) that talk constant pish, the guy is phenomenal, far superior Internationally than Messi and Tbh going by their ages Ronaldo will be far more influential than Messi.

    I have no problem who thinks one is better than the other, but Ronaldo is hardly overrated, ffs.

    He's more than likely going to win the Golden Boot at the Euros at 36.

    Messi is phenomenal, so is Ronaldo.

    I think any sensible person will agree the Euros have better teams, World Cup proves that. Also Argentina squads should be doing better as opposed to Portugal in their respective tournie.

    I disagree he was the main reason they won the tournament and never said in my post that he was overrated.

    You could 100% argue that on the international stage Ronaldo has outperformed Messi. They’ve both had shortcomings on the international stage - Messi more so.

    For me Messi is the best ever by a considerable distance, I don’t mean to take anything away from Ronaldo when I say that the guys a machine.
