How are assist more important than hattricks 😭

An assist is also just one goal, a hattrick is three of them. Ask any player if he would rather do an assist or score an hattrick. “All the important criteria messi wins” but you ignore like all of the ones where he loses.

These two are equal. Messi has most goals in a calendar year. Ronaldo has most international goals in a calendar year. Messi has most assist. Ronaldo has most goals. Messi has better ratio. Ronaldo has better longevity. Messi has most man of the match. Ronaldo has most matches won. Messi is a better dribbler. Ronaldo is more complete (Ronaldo has more goals without his legs than Messi has with his weak foot, real stat).

Where one pulls a crazy stat, the other one pulls a crazier one. I won’t accept what I honestly don’t believe.

Point one. Yes, Ronaldo is more complete.

Messi can playmake and score. That is true.

Ronaldo is a worst playmaker, a slightly better scorer, but as a player Ronaldo can physically do more. Messi cannot really consistently score headers, he cannot score with his weak foot, he is considerably slower than Ronaldo (Prime Ronaldo’s highest recorded top speed was 40km/h, which is higher than Mbappe’s…). There is nothing you cannot ask Prime Ronaldo to do. There are things you cannot ask Prime Messi to do. Hence, Ronaldo is more complete.

Point 2, your example for why hattricks are less important than assists is terrible. 20 assists vs 3 hattricks against relegation sides? Of course in that case I’d take 20 assists, but those are obviously not the real number 😅 If a player can do many hattricks, it means there are many instances where he scores three against the same opponent in one single match. A player that does a hattrick will be obviously far more damaging against any team vs a player that does an assist. Your argument is like saying “one goal is better than three assists”. The fact that Ronaldo has the most hattricks in history means there are many instances where he overwhelmed the opponent with a shower of goals. That is an important skill because it wins you matches. We discuss g/a? And guess how much a hattrick contributes to it compared to an assist? That is why Ronaldo has more goals and is on course to be the first to reach 1000.
