How can you compare talent and hard work. Messi is talented and ronaldo is pure hard work. Ronaldo fought his way through to the top. Lisbon, man utd, real madrid, portugal, unlike mess argentina, barcelona, barcelona, barcelona. Ronaldo anyday. Well waiting for man utd vs west ham again!

This argument would never end.
Simple truth is that Messi is better. Umtiti says he uses them as cones during training. Sometimes he dribbles past all players..

But like I said this argument no get end and Messi be like:

all my life I never heard on TV, radio or seen in the internet ,any player or commentator or journalist call ronaldo the best ever or compare him to maradona and pele. not once! but all my life I have heard a lot of times journalists, footballers and commentators compare messi to maradona and pele and call him the best ever. enough said.

Bro I won't argue any other thing with you, but we all know A world class team is different from a Great team of great players.
You cannot compare a team of Xavi, Iniesta, Ronaldinho, Puyol et al to a team of scholes, Nani, Carrick, Tevez. That would be a crime.

Moreover, those days when Ronaldo played for Man u, he was not the main man, everybody played their game, everybody scored for team, everybody was indispensable; He had to put in so much effort to stand out from the rest in the team. That's why Nani never accomplished Ronaldo's feat because he can never put in such hard work rate and extreme training that Ronaldo does.

Lastly, if you would pick somebody as a model and a good example to look up to(or learn from), You know it would definitely be ROnaldo. You have so much to learn from his success than From MEssi's. Ronaldo is the true definition of HARD WORK, DISCIPLINE AND CONSISTENCY. nut this is not to rule the fact that Messi is not good. He is infact one hell of a player I respect and fear more.

Stick to the topic. We are not talking about their life but their impact on the game.
You don't know what Messi suffered while growing up before Barca came to the rescue.
Back to the game, people don't know how difficult it is to rise in a star studded team. Just look at iheanacho competing for a place with aguero and later you will say his job is easier than a man who is shinning at Everton.

allansie:

Mad man....luck wasn't just on his side with the national team...he has few finlas with them and he has lost on penalties...Even Ronaldo wasn't on the pitch when portugal won the euros...Let Ronaldo take portugal 2 a world cup final...stupid n idiotic fellow oshi

Ohh sorrry I forgot. Ronaldo didn't score important goals in the competition abi?

thi got me thinking....
Maybe what Messi also needs is for him NOT to PLAY in the next Argentina final even tough he is the one who gets them there.

Then he can be "lucky" like Ronaldo.

#justsaying

Perfect comment. You just nailed it. !!!

gbeseun:
Let messi come.and try other leagues and know say Rinaldo na im papa,pogba and IBRA are singing a new song now cos they are playing in a strange land.

Ronaldo is compared to messi
messi is compared to the likes of Pele.maradona

devilson:
ronaldo has always been a better player than messi,he his more compete than messi

ronaldo is good with heading than mesi
he has more shoot accuracy
ronaldo is a better free kick taker
the old ronaldo when he was In man United is more skillful but messi is a better dribbler.
Goal keepers fear ronaldo more.

ronaldo has won trophy in sporting Lisbon,man United,real Madrid nd Portugal but messi only won In Barcelona.

messi is great but Ronaldo is god

God bless c.boy

Ronaldo winning any trophy with lisbon is a blantant lie!bruh check the records..he won nothing..his first trophy came in England which was when he won FA cup

Lol. Real unbiased football lovers and sport pundits know WHO THE BEST IS, they have always mentioned WHO that is, and they have not stopped doing so.

RighteousI:
THE BEST WAY TO KNOW WHO IS BETTER IS TO COMPARE BOTH OF THEM TO ANOTHER GREAT PLAYER LIKE THIERRY HENRY. WHO IS BETTER, THIERRY HENRY OR RONALDO? AND WHO IS BETTER, THIERRY HENRY OR MESSI?
OF COURSE MESSI IS BETTER THAN THIERRY HENRY BUT I DARE YOU TO SAY THAT RONALDO IS BETTER THAN THIERRY HENRY.
THERE IS NO CONTEST HERE, MESSI IS BETTER.

if u had compared Ronaldo to Zidane it could av been understandable, buh Henry who can not boast of a single world footballer of the year
Ronaldo is better than d rest

KevinDein:
Only Madrid, man utd, Portuguese and some Chelsea fans cum Barca haters will say Ronaldo is any where close to Messi. The rest of the unbias world who are largely neutrals know Messi is miles better than Ronaldo.

In all honesty these two should not even be compared.
Messi is mentioned alongside maradonna, Pele while Ronaldo should be compared with the likes of Neymar, Suarez etc no offence

U talk abt bias abi, na ur type de watch ball with sentiment. Messi is great but greatness is Ronaldo. How dare u compare lame asses to the great one?

danfidel01:


So Ronaldo is not the highest goal scorer for club and country abi . SEE me see talk o...Yimu. He even acheived it within a shorter than Messi.and the other madrid legends.

Lol, how old is Ronaldo?
Just Google their stat
Check their goal per game ratio

We should be talking about Messi and Pele

great footballers don't play in England!

Ronaldo has proved himself in 3 different competition, Portugal, Epl and La Liga). Both players are better players, but if I was a coach and I have the opportunity to pick a player, i'd put Ronaldo in my team.

He has that leadership and athletism.

Ronaldo is good but Messi is phenomenal-out of this world!

Kxke:
Ronaldo is good but Messi is phenomenal-out of this world!

MESSI is a GIFT from GOD Almighty to soccer lovers of the world.

C. Ronaldo plays Football.
MESSI plays SOCCER

allansie:
Both players are very talented in their own ways buh if I am 2 choose,I tink I wil go for Lionel Messi...he's a huge talent...The difference btw d 2 is dat....Ronaldo needs a team to succeed while a team needs Messi to succeed...Am a ManUtd Fan...

U need to rephrase my friend. put Ronaldo alongside Xavi n Iniesta n he will score 200 goals every fukking season. Why is Messi mediocre when he plays for Argentina?

Icon79:


Yeah, Messi cannot play in the EPL. Just look at what Messi's bench warmers (Yaya Toure, Alexis Sanchez, Pedro etc.) are doing in the EPL....at least, that would tell you that Messi cannot play in the EPL. Bizarre people!!

And by the way, while at it, we should refuse to rate Mikel Jordan and Kobe Bryant as good Basketball players because they ended their careers with one team. Some of you guys are just pure retards

Bros abeg help me tell them

...Wat a fallacious statement... Pelé of Brazil is regarded as d greatest footballer ever..bt Pelé Neva leave Brazilian club side (Santos) throughout his career...yet is one of d greatest footballer

Vick4rill:
this is solely your opinion. a cristiano ronaldo lover will easily counter this claims. as for me am yet to see what messi can do in the field that ronaldo can not do so also is messi. if you talk about messi winning trophies than ronaldo what abt other trophies ronaldo has that messi does not have. the truth is that messi and ronaldo are different player entirely who very good at what they do.they dont play in the same position and each person is better than his opponent in one way or the other. but my reason for pickin ronaldo over messi, is his consistancy despite been in different clubs

No no no no! Ronaldo is just a pure goal scorer. Messi is a great goal scorer, great dribbler and great passer!

I challenge you to show me Renaldo's 3 solo goals that he skipped past minimum of 4 players

teehay45:
if u had compared Ronaldo to Zidane it could av been understandable, buh Henry who can not boast of a single world footballer of the year
Ronaldo is better than d rest

when Henry was playing football many great technical and world class players were gracing the pitch too unlike the lazy overrated asses we have currently

Ok you expect him to play for man u,leicester or who I want to know..can you work in shell or shevron has a manager and resign to work for nigerian breweries has a manager they no be dsame bros let not talk out of content make we no retard this geninous called messi...

To be honest, there iss nothing to argue about ... everyone knows Messi is more talented thaan Ronaldo but fans' preference will differ. Ronaldo should be compared to Suarez, griezmann, Lewandowski and the likes...I mean all he does now is score goals, he doesnt destroy defenders' career with rutal dribbling like Messi...that doesnt make Messi the preferable option.

“He’s an incredible footballer. The best ever, the best there will ever be. It’s just an absolute pleasure to watch him.” - Steven Gerrard on Messi.

To me, I believe that it's still a miracle how C. Ronaldo managed to win three Ballon d'Ors in an era of Messi.

That guy is the best bar none!

Gerrard, Xavi and co r just jealous they can never be Ronaldo. he is rich, handsome n fu¥king talented. They hate him cuz they think he is arrogant, if u were him wouldn't u be?

Ronaldo's left foot is almost as good as his right, Messi has only his left leg. Ronaldo shoots from a distance and he's good in the air, yet with all these qualities he still falls short of Messi in my opinion. Ronaldo is not really a team player, he's more obsessed with himself and breaking records than playing for his team, he also has this arrogance about him. The truth is everybody knows that Messi is better except fans of Real Madrid and Man Utd and fans of the Portuguese national team

;Di like c ronaldo more,but messi is better...#ROLLINGWITHTHEBLUES
