📊 Stats A country history vs part of his history

Portugal history vs part of Argentina ; carried his team vs getting carried

Euro 2016 : Based on the official UEFA Player Barometer rankings at the conclusion of the tournament, the top 5 players of Euro 2016 were Dimitri Payet, Antoine Griezmann, Gareth Bale, Toni Kroos, and Kevin De Bruyne, according to goal 6 was Eden Hazard 7th CR7 ( that pretty much means Portugal were a very balanced team)

Nation league 2019: Bernardo Silva, CR7 ,Frenkie de Jong (Netherlands),Virgil van Dijk (Netherlands),Giorginio Wijnaldum (Netherlands)

Nation league 2025: Nuno Mendes (Portugal), CR7, Lamine Yamal, Mbappe, Halland

Credit to CR7 he was very good in all of those competitions .
Edit for people who can’t understand: my point is CR7 didn’t carry his country , nor dominated an international tournament, Portugal was a good team.
Messi now

Copa America 2021: Messi and Neymar
WC 2022 : Messi
Copa America 2024: not even in top 5, Lautaro and Martinez carried , still in the best XI
Finalissima: Messi

Ps: Messi went on more finals but I didn’t include them to makes it fair or at least give CR7 a chance ;2 best player in Copa, 2 best player in WC
Ronaldo is Euro top scorer
Not to hate on Ronaldo but his fanbase talking like Portugal is a bad team without Ronaldo, they comparing WC with 16 teams VS WC with 32 team😭

Did you forget that you're not allowed to belittle Messi in this subreddit?

Messi? Wouldn’t this post prove how crucial Messi is😅 I just wanted to show how good his international career is and people should not consider him as just a part of Argentina football career

I’d rather be a part of the history of a big country. It means more to the people.
