[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qMYXMjr495CF/en/messi-vs-cr7-a-provocative-debate-about-their-careers) Messi is better than CR7. Okay. Uh, I'm not just going to tell you, tell you that you're wrong and that CR7 is better.

[0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qMYXMjr495CF/en/messi-vs-cr7-a-provocative-debate-about-their-careers?t=7) I'm actually going to go even further, uh.

[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qMYXMjr495CF/en/messi-vs-cr7-a-provocative-debate-about-their-careers?t=8) Okay? Yeah. So, uh, we play “you're wrong,” right? I don't say what I think.

[0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qMYXMjr495CF/en/messi-vs-cr7-a-provocative-debate-about-their-careers?t=13) Yeah, no, of course, of course. Uh, so Messi, uh, is someone who performed at just one club, FC Barcelona.

[0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qMYXMjr495CF/en/messi-vs-cr7-a-provocative-debate-about-their-careers?t=20) Uh, when he went elsewhere, he was average, right? PSG, average, uh, the U.S., washed up.

[0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qMYXMjr495CF/en/messi-vs-cr7-a-provocative-debate-about-their-careers?t=26) No, now that's outrageous. Washed up. That's outrageous.

[0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qMYXMjr495CF/en/messi-vs-cr7-a-provocative-debate-about-their-careers?t=28) I swear, we'll talk about it later, but go ahead.

[0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qMYXMjr495CF/en/messi-vs-cr7-a-provocative-debate-about-their-careers?t=30) Uh, he's someone, uh, okay, he won a World Cup, but apart from the final, uh, in every match, the referee was on Argentina's side.

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qMYXMjr495CF/en/messi-vs-cr7-a-provocative-debate-about-their-careers?t=38) That's outrageous. Every match. So in the end, if I trace his career, Uh, the guy, okay, he's great at scoring, he gets dribbling highlights, but at club level, he performed for just one club and that was the club with, uh, an extraordinary style of play.

[0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qMYXMjr495CF/en/messi-vs-cr7-a-provocative-debate-about-their-careers?t=54) So he was just one element of it. His national team only overperformed once and it was rigged almost all the way to the final.

[1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qMYXMjr495CF/en/messi-vs-cr7-a-provocative-debate-about-their-careers?t=61) So actually, it's not just that CR7 is better than Messi, it's that Messi is crap.

[1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qMYXMjr495CF/en/messi-vs-cr7-a-provocative-debate-about-their-careers?t=66) I'm leaving the set now. No, Joël, but seriously, I love you.

[1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qMYXMjr495CF/en/messi-vs-cr7-a-provocative-debate-about-their-careers?t=70) If there's one thing you can't say, it's that Messi is crap.
