I think we are lucky to have both of them about. Zidane aside I've never seen two footballers be at the absolute top for as long and I don't think we will ever see it again.

So many excuses always made for Messi... But last four years Ronaldo constantly comes out on top. 3 Ballons against 1.

Messi may have been better but guess Messi fans boys have to much pride and emotions to admit that it has changed in recent years.

And Messi better footballer. Another **** argument. You cant just take the attributes Messi is good at and say ahh that is what makes good footballer so Messi is better. Ronaldo is great at lot of things that makes him great at football.

In the end you see the difference who gets the job done. Messi couldnt score against Juventus in two games while Ronaldo scores two in one game. Ronaldo constantly instrumental factor in winning things in last few years.

But Messi fan boys and their emotions. Holy ****.

Shevchenko > Henry.

Hmm, let's try to use some facts against this argument:

Ronaldo: Has played in 21 finals, scored 16 goals.

Messi: Has played in 30 finals, scored 26 goals.

Worth nothing Messi has played in more finals as well, even though he's years younger than Ronaldo.

As I said, there's just no logical argument for saying Ronaldo is better than Messi. Every single stat, whether it be performance based or just trophies, says otherwise.

People don't seem to realize that rating Ronaldo over Messi is like rating Walcott over Hazard. They score a similar amount of goals, so they must be at least equal, right?

Messi has 11 assists. Ronaldo 13 assists. Ronaldo better playmaker then.

Ballons are a lot more respective than youe trash opinion. Dont look so ****ing big on your self. Every player wants to win it and it is respected.

And lol your last argument. You must be a troll... Hazard=Messi and Walcott=Ronaldo??? Try more like Hazard=Messi and Sanchez=Ronaldo. But you couldnt even get that right.

Assists are the least meaningful part of judging a good playmaker. Walcott would be a good playmaker on paper if assists meant anything; they don't.

Totally! Shevchenko > Henry.

Hazard contributes a ton to the build-up and scores goals, Walcott sits on back 4 and waits for openings. A simple but fair comparison is playstyle.

Comparing Sanchez to Ronaldo is an insult to the work Sanchez does from deep.

Walcott had like 3 assists this season. Seriously are you drunk or something??? I have zero time for this trolling.

I always forget that Dokaka is thr guy who said Noble was better than Xhaka... Should know the bog warning sign from now on.

Messi has scored 12 more goals than Ronaldo this season, with a better goals to game ratio...

You're right though. Messi not at his best is still better than Ronaldo :lol:

Ronaldo won La Liga and CL.

Why are you counting some hat trick against Spanish farmers bottom team over two important goals in the biggest game in football is beyond me...
 

Country: Iceland
Messi has 0 hat-tricks this season in the league. Ronaldo has 2.

Carry on.

Another stat Ronaldo is better than Messi.

And two goals against Juventus in biggest game of the season, the same defense Messi couldnt score in two games against. And Messi had Neymar and Suarez as his side kicks. Ronaldo hsd to do it with fat Benzema.

Ronaldo has the two best midfielders in the world behind him, a top class playmaker on the wing with perhaps the best attacking FB is history on his left :lol:

And Messi is playing in attack with 3rd and 4th best players in the world. But lets keep pretending Messi does all on his own and his team mates have been holding him back last 4 years. :rolleyes:

They won the league two times in a row before this season. This is the first time Real Madrid have won the league in 5 years..

Tbf, one of Ronaldo's hattricks was against Ath Madrid in the league.

He was the one bringing up hat-tricks as a negative ;)

Messi turned in one of the most impressive performances in the Spanish cups against Real Madrid in a game where Ronaldo attempted 8 shots, scored 0 goals and didn't beat a single man with a dribble.

Messi? Scored a brace and successfully took on and beat players 8 times.

In case people need a reminder of how he played in that game:


Don't put too much stock into a single game. It is why Henry isn't rated as highly by non-Arsenal fans; he never really did the business in Europe.
