A few comparisons seen on FT which are completely absurd.

Likes and RT's appreciated :)
Ronaldo 🇵🇹 (in PL) Vs Salah 🇪🇬

This debate is just senseless and it's only Liverpool fans that bring it up.

Yes , Salah has better stats like 3 less goals than Cristiano in 70 less games , BUT do you realise that Ronaldo joined the PL as a teenager in his developing stage?
Even if you ignore that and compare their 3 year prime in the PL (Ronaldo 06-09 and Salah 17-20) , you can clearly see it's Ronaldo who has better overall stats and achievements.

Comparing a 20-22 Year old player to a 26-28 Year old player in his prime is absurd.
Neymar Jr 🇧🇷 Vs Eden Hazard 🇧🇪

As much as I hate to say it , this comparison is not debatable.

Neymar has had a way better career and is in the debate for the 3rd best player of this generation , the same cannot be said for Hazard.
Neymar has more than 500G/A contributions in his career and won more major trophies as well.

Even though Hazard's main strength is in dribbles and creating chances , Neymar still exceeds him in those stats.

Hazard's been one of the best players in the PL but , Neymar > Hazard.
Sergio Ramos 🇪🇸 Vs Virgil Van Dijk 🇳🇱

Completely pointless , again only forced by Liverpool Fans.

Sergio Ramos is top 5 Greatest CB oat while VVD will just be remembered for his 2 great seasons.

Sergio Ramos is also in the arguement of the 3rd best player of this generation.
VVD's 18/19 season is surely one of the best seasons by a Centre Back.
However , Consistency > One Season greatness.
Sergio Ramos has been World Class for over a decade now and won countless number of trophies.

Even at 35 , Ramos is better than a prime VVD.
19/20 stats 👇🏼
Thierry Henry 🇨🇵 Vs Didier Drogba 🇨🇮

Thierry Henry is arguably the greatest PL player EVER! He was a complete Number 9 who played a crucial role for the invincibles.

Didier Drogba always scored when it mattered the most. Even though its an underrated stat, it's not good enough.
Nothing compares to Henry's 02/03 season where he recorded 44G/A in 37 PL matches.
Drogba's highest is 39G/A which is close enough but he hasn't been as consistent

Drogba has recorded 5 League goals twice in PL, he is just not good enough to be compared to Henry.

Forced Debate.
(PS: I don't support any team from the Prem and I watch it from a Neutral perspective. If you look at these comparisons being unbiased , you'll realise they are pointless and one of the 2 players exceeds the other one marginally)
