warnie_666 1,081 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Ronaldo - 60 goals in 55 games last season, 10 of them in Europe.Iniesta - 8 goals in 47 games, only 3 of them in Europe.How is he better than Ronaldo?It is NOT always about stats. Iniesta played a key role in Spain winning the Euro. He played a key role in Barcelona. If it wasnt for Messi's shit penalty kick Barcelona would have won the Champions League. No wonder Messi didnt get it. If it wasnt for Ronaldo's missed penalty kick, Real Madrid would have been in finals.Messi and Ronaldo cost their respective clubs a place in the finals. No matter how many goals they score against shit teams in spanish league, they cost their team when it mattered the most.Iniesta on the other hand is a magician. He seldom fails. When Chelsea play Barcelona, I always fear Iniesta more than Messi and I am glad he rightly deserved that award Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop trying to pin it on Ronaldo. Ronaldo is better than Iniesta, no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmpr 8,977 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 He wasn't the only one who missed. Stop trying to pin it on Ronaldo. Ronaldo is better than Iniesta, no doubt.No doubt, but the gap isnt too big. Iniesta can be viewed as a better player last season. Euros count as a big part (not saying it is fair, just pointing it out) and Ronaldo did not even took the pen. Most of La Liga matches does not count, imo. Barca x Real they were both good but CR7 was better.Anyways, I would take them both... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 The gap is not that big? Wow. He and Messi are on another level to everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pit the Euros in the equation you get Iniesta with 18 votes and Ronaldo with 17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that the fact that he didnt even take that penalty for Portugal in Euros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hmm, still have to agree with Spike. Essien was stronger and possessed more stamina but still I think if you look at the way Ronaldo uses his athleticism to his advantage its quite incredible. You seen that TV program where he gets tested? Like when hes shooting, the fact his legs are so powerful and muscly, it helps a lot with the power he can get behind his shot. Also his jump say for when he wants to win a header is incredible and that's also due to him having extremely powerful legs.POWER. He has a lot of POWER Mr Davidson.

Add to that the fact that he didnt even take that penalty for Portugal in Euros.Because he was assigned to be the 5th penalty taker. Think before you post. Otherwise you'll sound like a Moron.

Otherwise you'll sound like a Moron.I know you smart ass. Doesnt matter....Point is he was one of the reasons with Ramos for Real Madrid's exit and didnt help Portugal win the Euros doesnt matter if he didnt take it.. If you are jizzing over number of goals scored and assits then Messi should win it hands down. But you are clearly blinkered by stats. I doubt you even watch La Liga.Iniesta played a key role in Spain winning the Euros and played a key role in getting Barca to Semi with Messi.

And that is exactly why Iniesta won the award inspite of not scoring soo many goals cus he as a midfielder unlike the two above he helped his team win the Euros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 If you are jizzing over number of goals scored and assits then Messi should win it hands down.Wrong. 12 months ago Ronaldo broke the scoring records but didn't win as he didn't win anything. So, it means Messi cannot possibly win the Ballon D'or without their being double standards and favouritism from FIFA towards Messi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Iniesta wins it, how? He only scored 9 goals last season and assisted 9 as well IIRC. Also he didn't score at Euro 2012.... wtf is wrong with UEFALuckily it's about more than just stats. Mario Gomez had a far better goal scoring record last season than Iniesta, I'd still opt for the Barcelona man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
