Ronaldo Undoubtedly has the Edge




The Portuguese and Real Madrid superstar continues to amaze fans of the beautiful game. His recent performance, a hat trick against Real Sociedad shows that he continues to climb up in his career and that he will not be hanging his boots anytime soon.

The BBC or Benzema, Bale and Cristiano have become a clear striking force that will try to take Real Madrid back to the winning stages of the past.  The three of them are arguably the best striking force in Europe at the moment; together they have scored 17 goals in the last fourteen days, which is clearly a strong statement by Los Blancos.

Though Real Madrid is behind archrival Barcelona by 6 points the season still has a long way to go. There is still a lot of time for Real Madrid to turn the table around and to take advantage of Ronaldo’s momentum to snatch as many points as they can because Barca still is the undefeated team that does not seem to give in.

Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly a super athlete and this year he seems to be going higher than fifth gear. With the return of Xavi Alonzo and Bale recovering from his injury as well as Benzema finding his game, Real Madrid seems to be the giant club that can no longer afford to go another season without meaningful silverware.

La Decima! Real Madrid fans are screaming for the 10th Champions League trophy to be lifted by Ronaldo and company. But the Champions League is a whole different ball game. A true test will be placed in the knock out rounds of the Champions for the revived Real Madrid. The likes of Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Barca, Paris St. Germain among others are serious contenders to be considered.

Benzema, Bale and Cristiano (BBC) however are showing class, speed and great skills that threaten to dismantle the competition. Cristiano Ronaldo is clearly having a brilliant season and with Messi being injured, clearly the Portuguese star has the edge over the never-ending debate about the two great footballers.  

Shut up and enjoy the beautiful game!

Messi is Missing in Action


Messi admitted he is not 100% yet

That’s good news for cough cough Real Madrid and other opponents in Europe who have been victims of Messi’s left foot.
Most fans of the beautiful game know that el Astro argentino is in the spotlight for not being able to score any goals in the last four games.



It is true that Messi is not 100% yet after being injured. However, he has scored 8 goals so far, 5 goals behind Diego Costa and Ronaldo. It’s not arguable that Messi is missing given that this is the same player that has scored four or even five goals in a single Champions League game.



It might be a good thing for Messi to let others shine a bit. Barca has enough ammunition to keep at the top of the table with Neymar, Iniesta and Sanchez among others. Messi’s non-action will be temporary and that’s ok because he has given Barca fans everything a player can give but the goals will return and that will be even greater.

Barca’s number 10 is also human and his last four games is a reminder of that. However, for the best player that has been in the spotlight for winning everything is also a good thing to be in the spotlight for not scoring. The reason for that is that Messi needs to reboot or needs a boost. When el astro argentino comes back to the score sheet it will be like starting all over again and that’s a good thing for the beautiful game.

Do not worry Barca fans! You still on top of La Liga and doing well in the Champions League.
