Personally, I think Messi is a more complete football player but Ronaldo has obviously been more successful.

Honestly if I had to choose an all time best player ever, it'll be Ronaldinho. Nobody ever came close to him and his versatility

Messi may have more natural talent but Ronaldo is a machine and his work ethic is INSANE. I think we all know as sales people that the one that grinds is the one that wins.

For the non soccer people, I’ve always used this comparison between the two:
Ronaldo = Jordan. When they were young, they were good but not GREAT. But they worked their ass off to become the greatest ever.

Messi = Lebron. Everyone knew from day 1 they would be great. Put in the work to maintain it. 

Both great, I just prefer Ronaldo/Jordan

Very good analogy. That's why I like Ronaldo too

I’m not a massive fan of this analogy but if it helps Americans then that’s cool. 

Cristiano won world player of the year at 23 so it’s not all that true to say that he was only good when he was younger.

Messi is the best player ever to play football. 

I love CR7, but it's just different. He is a great and is deservedly seen as such, but he isn't as good as Messi and I don't see how people can even compare them.

Can you prefer CR7? Of course!

Can you want CR7 in your team ahead of Messi? Yep

But, Messi is just better

If you are a true soccer/football fan, you know that both players are great and shouldn’t hate one or the other. They brought a lot to the beautiful game. But I still prefer Ronaldo because ¡Hala Madrid!

I don't agree with the protests nor the formation of ESL, but I do agree with Fan's agitation. They're taken for a toll by rich and greedy owners which has put the club under debt.

Totally agree with you. However, I did agree with the protests; desperate times call for desperate measures. Tbh I even wished other fans that had their clubs in the ESL would have done something similar

2 very different players, Messi is very smart with his feet, he's 3 steps ahead of most defenders, and his awareness on the football pitch is only compared to Iniesta. Ronaldo is a pure athlete, a pure finisher, who you want in the box in the last min of the world cup and the game is tied.

The way Messi finishes his career is playing in the deep midfield, Ronaldo would be a sitting number 9. It's not a matter of who's best, they are both best at what they do and their style of play. It depends on the style of play.

Old post but I felt that I wanted to give my 2 cents.
