Can't we just appreciate both for what great talents they are? 

 

Why does something always have to be better than something else in this world? 

[don_danbury]

ronaldo is greater. messi the better player.

[AKCJ]

Messi.

 

His hat trick tonight needs to be seen to be believed.

[lcfcdamo]

Messi easy I've just watched messi score another amazing hattrick he creates  so much has well had score so many he makes everything look so easy Ronaldo only matches him with goals that is all!! 

[AKCJ]

Betis fans bowing down to him and chanting his name  

[Samilktray]

May aswell just enjoy them both whilst they’re still active. This debate became boring years ago

[Goober]

Prefer Messi, always said he’s the better of the 2 but in recent years Ronaldo’s proved they’re pretty much inseparable. Both absolute phenomenons, love watching them 

[AS78UK]

Ronaldo edges it for me, proved himself in different teams and across different leagues. He is an arrogant twat though. 

[Poznan34]

Messi all day long.

[Charl91]

Never really thought the two of them are even close enough to compare.

 

Clearly Messi, though Ronaldo is best of the rest. Ronaldo is an amazing goal scorer, but Messi is essentially the best goal scorer and the best midfielder in the world at the same time.

It’s ok to have a preference but these kinds of statements are just absolute nonsense 

[Mr Mister]

Ronaldo as he has been the driving force behind Man Utd, Real Madrid and Portugal's triumphs. 

[The Horse's Mouth]

they're on the same level, if I had to have one as a manager I'd probably edge towards Ronaldo even though i prefer messi

I don't really care about either player, or the whole Messi vs. Ronaldo debate, and I can't say I go out of my way to watch either. It's just I've never seen Ronaldo run a game in the same way that Messi does. 

 

Maybe others think differently, and that's fine, but for me it's not even close.

Did you not watch Juve vs Atletico?

Yeah. Ronaldo got 2 nice headers and a penalty (which he didn't win). Not doubting he's a great player, he's a great striker, but doesn't have nearly as much influence on the other aspects of the game as Messi does.

 

If you go by goal scoring statistics alone, then they look very similar, but to be honest I think going just by goals alone is a disservice to Messi. 

[the fox]

Messi's misfortune is that he elevates his team so much and covers so many weak points that it becomes a detriment to his greatness and his team's strength so when Messi can't run the show, his teammates sometimes can't compensate. He can do it all and sometimes it effects him.

 

Ronaldo underperformed in the two semifinals and final of last year and Madrid still won. Barca wouldn't have done that.

 

Let's put it this way, The reason Ronaldo is somehow in the convo is because Messi failed to win with Argentina (which is partially his fault). Messi's failures, not Ronaldo's success is what elevated Ronaldo to the convo for the GOAT. 

 

 

The eye-test favor Messi, the stats favor Messi, the opinions of past all-time great footballers favor Messi.

 

 

Disclaimer: that was my opinion.

Messaldo....Ronamess.

[Fox in the North]

Messi is better in terms of technical skill and vision for me, but then he can’t match ronaldo for pure athleticism.

[Nick]

Messi for me - can't stand Ronaldo!

[Jattdogg]

 

From a jordan/kobe gimme the ball perspective, Ronaldo. 

 

Both are excellent players. Id take ronaldo from a straight up attacking perspective but i think messi has the advantage at makng many more around him better.  And he scores goals.

 

Im 50-50.

[foxy boxing]

Messi has no ego. Messi just gets on with scoring goals and doing what he does with Ronaldo as much as he is a fantastic footballer and deserves all the credit he gets and more it is all about the personality.
