![[ESPNFC] Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Neymar Jr’s International Stats.](https://alien.top/pictrs/image/bf00c9e0-8bde-4828-8b67-c9b1eb3f2bb4.webp){kind=link}
Neymar now holds the record for most international assists after his assist against Venezuela.
Landon Donovan had 58, and there was a post on here last month that didn’t show anybody else who had more.
Dude also trying to break the record for most party night before an international game.
So what’s you’re saying is Donovan > Neymar Jr.?
Nah. The facts clearly say that Neymar > Landon Donovan.
But Landon Donovan > Lionel Messi > Cristiano Ronaldo
According do joeDubstep Donovan is even better than Messi, lmao dude is delusional
Add to that, the fact that he faced mighty opposition in CONCACAF, like Barbados, Belize and El Salvador…
Can only play who your confederation is able to schedule.
Similarly, I’ve always wondered whether there has been an Ali Daei for assists in CAF or AFC who just didn’t have their totals counted at the moment.
Donovan was unironically a pretty damn good NT player.
Real shame he sufferered from depression and took a sabbitcal after his loan at Everton.
Probs some weird shit like Nandor Hidekguti had 70 assists to Puskas alone in 1953
I prefer Suarez as the worlds 3rd best player .
Ronaldo never had finishers around him like Neymar and Messi. They’ve played with some absolute talent at Argentina and Brazil when compared to Portugal.
I mean, does that matter when he normally goes against way lower competition in official matches than what Messi and Neymar face?
Yeah, Messi and Neymar are so lucky. Ronaldo is stuck with bums like Checks notes Bernardo Silva, Rafael Leao, Joao Cancelo and Checks notes again Joao Felix, Ruben Dias, Bruno Fernandez…
lol he didnt have these dudes on portugal with him until he was 37/38 years old. he won the euro in 2016 with players like joao mario and nani up front with him
The utter disrespect for Eder smh
The Lord eder blessed the tiny nation of Portugal with his majesty and gifted them an international trophy, you would be wise to address him in the correct manner heathen.
Always playing victim as if Portugal aren’t always filled with talent and underachieving. Portugal screwing up is their fault. They have had world class players before and even today have one of the most stacked teams in international football
Portugal was not filled with talent from 2008-2018. They are stacked now but outside of Ronaldo their talent was pretty meh for a major international side. Mind you neither Neymar or Messi played with a golden generation either, but I think it’s folly to pretend that some of those past Portugal teams were anything special.
Ronaldo is my goat
alá o chupa cu do neymar
Chupa cu ☠️
2 Saudi Pro League Players and 1 MLS player. What a timeline we’re in.
We’re living in 2023, where these dudes are old as balls
and two of them (maybe all three) are still the bests playing in the world
None of them are the best in the world, Messi is still great, Ronaldo is still very good, but none are the best
Have we officially watered down all football “analysis” to just goal and assist tallies? Depressing.
A healthy Neymar would have won a Ballon d’Or
Which year?
Be specific.
and a fortnite tournament
I genuinely think he would have easily become the 2nd best player in your history if he never left Barca. Can’t think of a more perfect replacement for Messi. He really should have never left Barca
you’re caping hard bro
Brazil let Neymar down, not the other way around. Incredible stats.
Love to hate him but greatly under appreciated as the great footballer he was/is and I’m fully aware I’m guilty of it too
I’m not downplaying Ronaldo, but I feel as if 178 goals or 128 goals against countries like Brazil/Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia or Ecuador (specially in the heights) are “worth” much more than goals scored against the likes of Luxemburgo or Malta.
Its probably just bias, but a factor worth considering regardless, considering how much tighter Conmebol is (also applies to Suarez I feel)
In competitive internationals:
Messi: 124 Games, 57 Goals, 37 Assists, 94G/A, 0.46 goals per game, 0.76 G/A per game.
Ronaldo: 151 Games, 107 Goals, 25 assists, 132 G/A, 0.71 goals per game, 0.87 G/A per game.
Neymar: 58 Games, 33 Goals, 29 assists, 62 G/A, 0.57 goals per game, 1.07 G/A per game.
The only Goat to me CR7!
Neymar thinks he’s on the team
He’s got better numbers per game than the other two lol
Neymar & Messi are clear of Ronaldo. It’s a shame injuries take Ney out of the conversation of the best ever
The ronaldo disrespect is crazy
Neymar isn’t even close. Messi sure, but Neymar is miles behind them both.
Neymar was supposed to be the one to get a ballon d or after messi and Ronaldo’s era. I mean fair play to him to get the bag at PSG and Saudi but it hurts to see he never fully reached his potential of being the best at some point
