HAHAHAHAHA this is incredible. It's amazing that the guy is crying so much, but this is the best response.

As I recall its not as it looks, it's just the perspective, he was listening to the guy next to him but the camera angle makes it look like...something else.
Holy fucking shit... I just noticed there's a guy lying down next to Ronaldo, I've seen that gif so many times, never once seen that guy. What magics is this?

So what is the status on Ronaldo now that he has chosen to play in a B-league for a team that won the previous seven titles without any opposition? What's the reasoning behind this?

They (Juventus) wanna win in a real competition like the Champions League. It's not Juventus fault the rest of the Italian league is so bad tho.

As for Ronaldo, he tried to have Madrid pay him the same 45m a year Messi makes. Madrid said no, so Ronaldo left for Juventus, who won't even pay him the 45m he wanted from the beginning anyway.

I love him for everything he gave us, but he is not worth 45m (plus taxes) a year, specially when you consider his age.

And no way is Spain allowing a 0 tax on foreign earned income like Italy is proposing. That must save millions for him.

Tonight the next GOAT will be playing for the first time for Real Madri. Same position as CR7 used to play. That can't be just a coincidence.

hmm, who is that in the top right corner miles from every other player...

Messi: 11th in xG Buildup and 1st in xG + xA. No one else is top 30 in both categories, and only three other players are top 50 in both (D Silva, Sterling, and Insigne).

Basically he's got an entire quadrant to himself... might as well call it Messi's Quadrant

xG is a great stat but you also have to contrast a chart like this against G + A and G buildup or it to mean anything. He should be in a similar place anyway.

Give him time guys. Had a slow start to the last season too and this is a new team even.

Needs to recover from Perez politicking him out of the UEFA POTY award.

Messi is objectively the goat, I can't believe there's even discussion about it. One could argue that Ronaldo is the goat goal scorer maybe, but even in this statistic Messi isn't that far behind, while being miles ahead in every other statistic.

Do you guys remember how slow Ronaldo's start last year was? He wasn't firing on all cylinders till after the holidays.

I'm stupid as a goat, can somebody help me understand this graph? I've never been in a pub talking about xG build up but if it helps back up my love for Dani Alves in all for it.
