I would choose CR7 as being better because
1. he has succeeded in 3 different clubs and 3 different leagues
2. he plays for real madrid 

But seriously,
messi just like SAF and giggs would always be amonsgt the greatest and obviously plays for the most entertaining and complicated team to play against presently. But, on a difficulty level CR7 has done better considering point 1 above,.

medjai:

Messi has since moved beyond the CR comparison. He's now being compared to true legends of the game and quite a number consider him the greatest of all time.
I'll tow the line of Juan Carlos Garrido(Villareal's coach). "Comparing Ronaldo with Messi is a sacrilege"

coogar:

arrant nonsense.

latest stats,
ronaldo(37 league goals in 32 apps), 50 goals in 52 apps
messi(31 league goals in 33 apps), 52 goals in 54 apps.

you might have to tell juan carlos garrido he is a plonker. it's also fair to say if ronaldo had the same team-mates since age 13 like messi does, he would have been even greater than the stats he is producing for real madrid. we often hear no player is worth the big-money clubs splash on players these days. since ronaldo's move to madrid, his £80 million outlay has never been criticized. 83 goals in 87 apps since joining real madrid can never be replicated by any player in a new club, new team-mates, new environment, new manager.

yet, we compare cristiano to this freak of a human called messi. if fair is fair, messi shouldn't even be discussed as a player. he grew up on steroids. his physique, bone structure did not develop naturally like normal human beings. he received excessive gh-therapy to reach the height he now stands. if you look closely at his legs you will see that they have the shape of a weight-lifter, you can also compare the size of the muscle's on his legs to the size of his muscles in his upper body. it's over-dimensioned and that's a good indication of outside stimuli. look at a natural athlete's (like ronaldo and rooney) and see the difference. they all have a symmetric body unlike messi who did not grow like normal humans.

dont mind eyo niqqa, he is sick, he ask for everythin to be banned

steriods?
that guy is a dwarf

AjanleKoko:

Well, the dwarf did go through 5 Madrid players and they couldn't do squat. Besides, he is kind of playing in a team of incredibly talented dwarfs. Even the great Jose (por que?) had to train his players to play gaelic football come rugby to even have a chance against the Dwarves

CR7 is a great player, until he has to face Messi and/or Barca. Even in a lousy Argentina-Portugal friendly, he couldn't show up.
Messi has despoiled many teams the world over, including teams where CR7 has played. CR7 has scored a trailer load of goals . . . until he faces either Spain, Barcelona, and now even Argentina. When that happens, he usually goes missing and concentrates on his hairdo.

Donlittle:

U FORGOT THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL WHEN MAN U WON IT?
u forgot the recently el classico 

you forgot bout WC, when messin cant do those stuff? he does in barca even tho argentina team was much more beta than portugal?
C.RONALDO AND NANI IS LIKE THE ONLY KNOW STAR IN PORTUGAL

Yet the MODS allow a monster to say this kind of thing without being banned?
Oh my lawd. This is hatred, just plain hatred. You are so out of this world, I mean how can you sit down and write up such inhuman lines just to express your hatred towards Gods creation. OLORIBURUKU NI GBO GBO GENERATION E.

montelik:

HABA. This is not a fair or nice thing to allege. Even if any of what you said is true, credit to him for overcoming d challenges to become one of d best players of his generation.

medjai:

Absolute trash! So Messi is kinda like a right-thinking, football equivalent of Frankenstein? One would have thought Marseille's Mathieu Valbuena who had a similar growth defeciency and probably underwent the same treatment as Messi would be as good as Messi.

We're not comparing them as strikers so these stats mean nothing. It's easy for Ronaldo to score these much goals for Madrid. . . Higuain has been out for the better part of the season and Benzema only started scoring in the 2nd half of the season and also went out injured so it's pretty much been 'All Balls to Ronaldo' for Madrid this season. Messi tracks back 40-50 yards, starts a move and finishes it all by himself and at the same time assits his teammates(he has most assits in the league, 19) and scores loads of goals.

eyoniggar:

Medjai, Ajanle, I beg you both in the name of God, please do not respond to this ediot. His Talent is the work of steroid?Ohmy God .

Am out.

Jarus:

A few great games and good goal returns and people are saying CR7 is better than Messi.
This is most laughable. Where were they when Messi not only outclassed him in games both played? Where were they when Messi was redefining the round leather game in the last two years? Even a look at the earlier part of this thread will reveal this.

Class is permanent, form is temporary. I refuse to be deceived to change my opoinion just because a player had few extra-great games. Messi has had so many of that.

AjanleKoko:

*sigh* Honestly I hate having to do this

You mean the Champions League Semi final in 2008? Well, your man missed a penalty, remember? Messi didn't even play.

Which of the recent el classico? Is it the 5-0 at the Camp Nou, or the 2-0 at the Bernabeu? In both of those games, Messi absolutely tore Madrid to shreds. There were three other games in which both players did not particularly break the bank, but only a blind man would say that Ronaldo played better than Messi in any of the games.

Ronaldo managed 2 goals one a penalty and zero assists in 5 games. Messi was able to score three goals and two assists, one of the goals a penalty and the other a Champions League legendary goal (he took the ball from the middle of the park and went past FIVE guys).

World Cup? Portugal checked out in the 2nd round, while Argentina still managed to get to the quarter finals. Oops

coogar:

why is messi such a mediocre player in the argentinian shirt? coincidence. no one is disputing messi is a superb player but ronaldo edges him for the fact that ronaldo has conquered two top leagues in europe while messi will retire in barcelona. cristiano has scored 39 league goals in 33 games. he will win the pichichi and the european golden shoe to boot. jokes aside, ronaldo is the truth.

dayokanu:

Thats a moot point. Messi is playing in the best team in his generation why should he go to another league? To prve what?

Would someone quit Goldman Sach for Afribank just to prove a point that he can survive in another league
