40 goals in Saudi league gives you a throw-in in Europe.

good for him but 40 goals in the la liga is very different from 40 goals in the saudi league tbh

Stats in a league where the government controls half the clubs 💀

[–] saint-simon97@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm not his biggest fan but he's obviously in good form at the moment.

What are you even trying to say lol

[–] UefaSpokesman@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Racking up useless goals in a dead league to remain relevant and Madrid fans are out here acting like it's impressive at all, even made a post in the Madrid subreddit which had the most embarrassing comments I have read in a while.

Not too long ago were they making fun of Pele for scoring in his backyard and look at them hyping up this statpadder now

Literally playing in front of crowds smaller than National League games

He's going to have another meltdown over Ballon d'Or, isn't he?

There must be a formula that applies appropriate weights to the quality of the league and his age to make this very impressive.

His lickspittle fans desperately trying to pretend that saying 'He's scoring most of his goals in a second rate league' is 'hate' and not an objectively true statement are delightfully delusional.

It is impressive to still be so prolific at his age, but anyone ignoring the context to fawn over him is embarrassing themselves.

Amazing stat considering he's playing in the great Saudi League and International matches vs Liechestein and Luxembourg

[–] 99PassingAway@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Impressive. Saudi and Luxemburg isn’t for everyone

[–] Disastrous-Basket-71@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I like how everyone in this sub waited for his worst low of his career to shit on this guy and forgot the years he did this in europe.

[–] ciesum@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not the highest quality league but doing better there than anyone else

[–] Raicooof@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

i could do it too in the camel league

This is pretty damn impressive. The man's longevity is insane.

Before all of you stop barking about this being in the Saudi league, even Benzema and Neymar aren't putting up these numbers, Benzema is the current Ballon d'Or holder and Neymar was the best PSG player (arguably) before his injury.

Nah, pretty sure there’s a dude in the English 7th tier that bagged 50+ this year.

[–] irazzleandazzle@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

good for him. now take into account the league he's playing in, the team he's playing for, and the type of goals he's scoring. still impressive, but equating his goals to the likes of mbappe and Halland is ridiculous

[–] rouges@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lol These are mostly exhibition matches for both CR and Messi. Low intensity, low stakes. Only their fans will take such leagues seriously

[–] Opening_Outside_5788@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This reddit always crying about Ronaldo damn

[–] fuzzynavel34@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He’s playing in a retirement league 😂
