"Don’t play with Muntari. Valverde is doing good for himself and the standard of football these days. Because everyone wants to score from the keepers nose, it makes the likes of Valverde who shoot from long range exceptional. But in Muntari’s era, the game was tough!"

@__jonasss commented:

"Stop disrespecting Valverde with Ghanaian bias.Valverde should be compared to Roberto Carlos."

@RapstarStewart commented:

"Man I love Muntari's power but Fede is sth different. His goal against Napoli last season deserves a yellow card at least."

One thing is clear: both players have left indelible marks with their ability to produce unforgettable moments from long range.
