How Penaldo wan take enter...... How many dribble has he completed this season. All he do is receive a pass from Modric, move the ball a little bit and then shoot...... It is a GOOOAALL!!!



On a neutral ground, Lionel Andres Messi is the most complete player ever to grace the football pitch.


Maradona and Pele are complete Player but Pele can score a lot of goals but his dribbling skill is not that fantastic. Maradona can dribble but his goal aren't that much.


Messi is from another planet

No news here, CR7 is 6ft 2in and already 30 years old.Most of these guys are below 30 and are midgets.Shorter players have a lower centre of gravity and are better dribblers.

This is not hatred, the man just say the whole truth, Ronaldo is reaping from the 97% goal bound ,all he just need is to be at a strategy place and just give the remaining 3% and the goal is score, unlike Messi which he works for the team ,he has many assist, many passes,many dribbles etc...

The facts is Messi CONTRIBUTES to the team success, while team contribute to Ronaldo success.

You think it's easy to just be at a strategic position and score 50+ goals every season? You have forgotten that they is something called an offside trap and a linesman in football.If it's so easy, why do so many top strikers have less than 30 goals this season.To score that amount of goals you need to be a Phenomenal finisher, have great positioning, and be an expert in losing your marker.Ronaldo has 21 assists so far this season, tell me 5 other players in europe's top 5 leagues that has more.

We are in era of system that gives kudos to the scorers alone which I disagree with.
Ronaldo is a good player,no doubt or argument about that ,but he is reaping from the best backups,let Ronaldo and Messi go to smaller club like QPR or Leicester city and see who is going to shine, that's why Ronaldo will always struggle at big stage without strong backups when is playing for national team(I.e. 2010 world cup and 2014 world cup).

Facts: Messi CONTRIBUTES to the team success, while TEAM contribute to Ronaldo success.

Old at 31?

He's still a better ball handler than most on the list,only setback is he plays for a loaded Barca side hence fewer playing time.

I'm not debating whether is great player or not ,everybody knows that he is a great player,but the difference between him and messi is very clear, team depend on messi for its success while Ronaldo depends on his team for his success(goals).

And that's why he also has the highest assists for his team.Checkout Madrid's games in knockout stages of the UCL; scored 3 of the 5 goals for Madrid in the R16, assisted Madrid's only goal in the q-final, and gave Madrid a lifeline by scoring their only goal in the semi-final 1st leg.But it's Ronaldo who depend on his team and Messi who the team depends on? It's ok to praise messi or say that he's better, but don't belittle CR7 in the process.That's what you and the other guy that criticised him did.

The more you attempt dribbling once you are 30+, the likelier that you will be fouled and the more injury prone you become.That's not a good idea if you want to extend your footballing career.

Messi is the one who will be affected if they go to another club because he has been in a Barca system for his entire footballing career.Meanwhile CR left the EPL a legend, and in 6 seasons in Spain he is already a legend.Point of correction, CR did not flop in the 2010WC, he finished all 3 group games as the MOTM and was unlucky to meet the eventual champions spain in the R16.Only a blind hater will refuse to agree he was injured at the 2014 WC.

Do you watch real madrid's fixtures? If you did you'll see what Ronaldo calls assists.


A long ball he can't score or control is given to him from a far distance, he drops it down for sm1 else and staggers off the field and voila! Ronaldo has an assist. Others assists are; he passes to his teammate after he has scored two or like the atl madrid quarter final assist to chicharito. Or I dare say he assists so he can't meet up with messi!

Lionel Messi's dribbles count after Bayern masterclass last night will now be great distance away from the chasing pack.

Ronaldinho was equally tall yet dribbled better than his diminutive colleagues.

Hate Ronaldo? The truth is always bitter. I guess you should have countered the point by saying it's a lie.



You watch Messi last night, that clearly defines complete player. I 'm not a fan of any of the two but Messi has done more than Ronaldo.



Ronaldo works harder than messi to gets goals and that's why he is somewhere near but the fact remains Messi is naturally talented than he is.

Yes i do watch real madrid games and i see Ronaldo's assists.Like the one vs malaga where he beats his marker with a nice step over and pace and sets up Benzema for a tap in, or his no look backheel assist to Benz vs Granada and many more.Problem with people is that they compare him to Messi and are expecting him to dribble 4/5 players and give a through ball.Well, that's not happening cos they have different styles.Both still count as an assist, dribbling 4 players to set up a teammate does not make it 2 assists.

All three players you mentioned there are below 25.Ronaldo is 30! Checkout the UCL top dribblers of the last 6 seasons.Ronaldo is 4th on the list behind Messi, Ribery, Hazard.Surely you don't expect a 30 year old 6ft 2in player to be dribbling about, unless you want him to retire early.

Ronaldo is more of a skilful player than a dribbler, if u play footbal u will understand that to do ordinary leg over in a pitch is not easy, so when it comes to skills ronaldo flaws messi and all, except neymar who may be competing with him alittle bit

Dribbling is a part of skill, it's subset if you like

Dribbling Skill is highlighted in this page and clearly Messi is in the clear by a country mile.
