The thing is that Ronaldo made Messi a better player, Messi made Ronaldo a better player
no. I disagree. I only believe Messi made Ronaldo a better player. Messi was destined for greatness. I remember an article on goal.com years back after that u20 win against Nigeria where the writer boldly claimed that Messi could go on to win the Ballon dor for many years as he's fiercely talented. Everyone who saw him knew it.

But that can't be said of Ronaldo, Ronaldo in his quest to be great found Messi in his way and had to work hard to be the best. U can see it in the way he plays and reacts to media about Messi comparisons

So because CR7 won last night he has suddenly become better than Messi? We all. Watched both guys go head-to-head in their last El Classico and please remind me who came out tops? Messi of course dismantled real Madrid while CR7 was no where to be found. Juventus wasn't an opposition that could trouble Madrid so my brother no even compare both guys because Messi is the best amongst the two guys cool

But they troubled Barça including Messi. You have got nothing on my boi CR-7. He is way too hot right now.

Funny! What if Ronaldo had the likes of Xavi, Iniesta, Alves and co that Messi had(...during his consecutive Balon D' or era), Messi won't match him? Check out Portugal's National team and Argentina's. What I think you missed is that Ronaldo is talented, just as Messi, but only became better when he saw that talent can be made better by including hard work.

Ronaldo had the most expensive team in the world. He had Casillas, Ramos, Marcelo, Alonso, Modric, Pepe etc.

So Messi is lazy? The player that drops deep into midfield, dribles several players, scores, creates and assists is lazy.... While the one that stays in the box to play 'pass n shoot' / 'cross n nod' is hardworking, Intresting.

Let me disillusion you. Barca didn't play the same Juventus two seasons ago. They played a weaker version. That was a Juventus with a Conte, not Allegri. A Juventus without Alves. A less defensive Juventus! In the end, one team won a double!

Messi is better with his left leg. Ronaldo is good with both right and left. Ronaldo can jump higher, hence nods the ball better. In summary, Ronaldo is an all round hard working player while Messi is a talented player. In the end, hard work pays off. I prefer Ronaldo.

Check Ronaldo stats and find your answers... and saying Ronaldo waits in the box for tap-in goals is an indication you started watching football recently. Go and watch Ronaldo's clips and you'll see you just committed a fallacy. Messi isn't lazy, but someone is obviously working harder!

You're joking right? Allegri coached Juve in '15, They had a Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba, Tevez and Morata. The also won a double, knocked out Real that year, and were just as defensive, so stop goofing around.

Messi is pure talent. Ronaldo is talent plus hard work training.

When talent sleeps, the o e that does hard work takes over.
bros, stop confusing urself. Before you add the hardwork thing, tell us the percentage talent for both players

Nonsense analysis. Even though I know that Messi is a better player than Ronaldo while Ronaldo is a more determined and focused footballer, don't you think it's unwise to judge both of them with just one meeting in El classico?

If I go by your logic then I will use Juve Vs Madrid to knock Messi off because I will tell you that that Ronaldo did what Messi, Neymar and Suarez couldn't do which was, beating the Juve defence and keeper; therefore Ronaldo is better than all 3 players combined..

Let the truth be told,you will never see any messi and cr7 in a long way to you,the rivalries stood them above every player in the world.on a second note,this might end soon,because both players are already in their peak, they have shared the world best among then for almost 10 solid years,cr7 109 championship goals in 140 matches,scored 12 goals in 13 championship matches, over 600 goals for both country and club.almost won every indivual honours in football
