So far messi has had 5 assists in 6 games and also 8 goals. This means that he's doing the job of a midfielder and forward while Ribery has been doing 4 assists in 8 games and has 3 goals. Do the math.... Who's the better one
Thx Sean. There's a man with common sense. I´m just glad Froonk made a strong comeback after that horrible seasons under vanGaal and is able to add some crazy genius to bundesliga. Doesn't make em the best player on the planet all of a sudden.
I'm not going to say he's as good or better than messi, but he has been amazing this season so far. Btw he has 7 assists and 4 goals in the league alone. You also got to consider who messi plays with in his team I mean look at what happens to him when he plays for argentina....
He said that he wanted to reach the level of messi before the season started, and at the moment he's doing the best he can to reach that.
Yeah he is been playing alright but you can't compare him to messi regardless of whom messi plays with (It is kind of a shame that a Bayern fan is actually saying this.... Is not like Ribery is playing by himself either....) messi is much more complete offensive player.... While Ribery beign as amazingly capable as he is tends to make the same moves while attacking and can become predictable.... I've seen it happen in important games...
I'm sorry Cali, but Ribery is the farthest thing from predictable.
On another note ribery better than messi? I don't think so but they are definately in the same category of genius. Messi has his close controll and Ribery excels on speed. They're both great all rounders Ribery loves tracking back and defending and in a bunch of cases i've seen Messi at least attempting it lol.
Bottom line they are both amazing players And even though I say Messi is the better player its not by a long shot its very close when they're both at their prime. Same deal with Robben
Guys!? Srsly? There is noone even close to Messi. Not this season and not the last! Ribery is one of a bunch of world class players (Iniesta, Xavi, Ronaldo, Özil, Silva etc pp....) atm but he is not 2nd best or sth like that
Lets all get real guys: there's no better player in the world than gomez. He's had 236, 97 assists and 387523 goals so far and I think there are still a lot more to come!
Why is that a shame just because I'm a bayern fan wouldnt it be a shame for any fan if that was what was implied.... But since it wasnt it doesn't really matter.... I arguing if you look at what people messi plays with iniesta alexis, villa, fabregas, xavi and of how well the system of barcas works, and then I said look at how he plays for argentina never mentioned that or said that he was doing everything on his own, messi just has alot of help when playing for barca, and I don't think anyone can deny that yes messi is the best and yes his teammates atleast most of them are worldclass players if not some of the best in the world
When Ribery is at his best, he's more influential than Robben. Robben scores more, but Ribery creates for the whole team and scores when it's expedient whereas Robben does the opposite. Regardless, I think as good as both are, neither can be compared to Messi, he is in a stratosphere of his own for now
I think City is to "green" for the champions league. 1 Point out ot 2 matches in the champions league is not enough to trouble Barca I think. We will see how they are after this Tuesday.
I think Real, Chelsea, ManU and Bayern could trouble Barca. They know how 2 play in the champions league.
But we have 2 be honest and realisic, if Barca is playing their best football and doesn't have a bad day, normally no team can beat them. (Although I wish that Bayern will win this season the champions league)!
Barca is the best team at the moment. If you see them the last 3 years ago you have to say that. But its not that the best winns always, we saw that in so many games. Barca is the best team becaus of their performance in the last years but they maybe play a bad game against another good team e like against Inter where they lost 3-1. Everything can happen, that why I love football otherwise it gonna' be boring
I agree, he should have celebrated more. How do berlins players feel when gomez scored the opening goal in a bundesliga match and doesn't even celebrate, like its just the usual way.... Good game though I wonder how long neuers record will go on!
Sir3W@ Not Barca, you are wrong Barcelona is not Hertha or Man City and ask Real Madrid or Man united fans and they gonna' tell you what I mean
Ich weiß nicht ob du deutscher bist aber nehme ich mal an, euch mit Barca zu vergleichen ist übertrieben, klar sind sie schlagbar aber nur an schlechten Tagen. I'm Normallfall werden sie Bayern mit ein paar Tore nach Hause schicken.
