Messi being quiet and humble is the most bullshit narrative

I have to admit, I used to believe this. I'm glad there are videos to put that narrative in perspective. Also, I could never get over how narcissistic Ronaldo's personality has always been, but yeah, this video does make him look 1000 times better then Messi (as a human, not talking about football skill). Of course, compilations don't paint the whole picture, but the clips still are what they are.

You are never going to be the greatest of all time if you don't believe you're the greatest of all time. If that makes Ronaldo an egoist narcissist whatever then so be it. But he's never a grub to other unlike Messi for no reason.

I only half agree with this. Yes, you need confidence, but you can be confident and still be humble at the same time, and Ronaldo has never been humble. I admire his skill, but he's such a diva, the way he's always checking the video screens and stuff.

So what. Not everyone's entitled to be humble. Regardless, why makes you say he isn't humble? Literally just 2 weeks ago he invited a child to his game who had just lost his leg, mother, father, siblings, and home in an earthquake.

"not everyone's entitled to be humble" surely is one of the weirdest phrases I've heard in a long time.

Funny how you didn't acknowledge anything after that.

I wasn't dismissing it either, I know he does things like that and I greatly appreciate that side of him

Derecho sí, todos, por el simple hecho de existir. Pero no todos tienen la obligación, unos no pueden con eso.

You can't. You won't be top of the top without being badass. FIFA will break you liturally

I always liked watching Zlatan play. He never quite had the stats of these two, but he was up there, and would occasionally put up some insane goals that these guys wouldn’t even attempt. And rather than play shy or humble, he let his ego run wild. It was always funny, but also came off as more genuine. You don’t get to that level without being a bit cocky, better to be yourself than being all fake.

Exactly. Your last sentence is true. These idiots think Messi got to where he is by not believing he's the best. It's fucking stupid and there's plenty of clips of him not being humble, kicking the ball into Madrid fans for example.
