pazienza:lol. Dude, Ronaldo has just one more UCL title than Messi. Just one! You mean Ronaldo was also a flop before Bale's goals helped him win his 5th last season? No, not just anybody can win the league. It's the most consistently brilliant team over 38 games that wins it. Messi's consistency is a big reason why Barcelona has won the treble twice, and Madrid couldn't. Thanks to Messi, Barca even cleared all 6 trophies available in a season. That's the peak of consistency. Ronaldo could never. Ronaldo simply has like 5 great games all season, and is either average or totally disappears in the other games. Please don't bring the world cup into any Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo debate. Ronaldo has 7 world cup goals across 4 world cups and has never even played in a world cup semi final. He has played first team football for Portugal for more than 14 years but has never won an individual award in any international competition. They aren't mates jare. |

Ozkar: Messi played peripheral role in Barca 2006 win. CR7 has been the highest goal scorer and the star man of all the teams he won his 5 UCL with. Like I told you, any local team can win the local league , Montepellier won in France, Leceister in England. Winning the local league is no big deal as it's a feat some just above average teams had achieved. I brought world cup because Messi had failed to excel in world cup despite having a star studded Argentina team to work with. Ronaldo won Euro with Portugal and was the team highest goal scorer and Star man all through, a feat Messi has never achieved with a far more Big names filled Argentine team in Copa America. Barca had consistently failed at UCL quarterfinals for three seasons running now, no thanks to Messi being a fast track bully who disappears when the big boys come calling. 1 Like 1 Share |

DONADAMS:being a starter is not the same as being at your peak. You can also be a top 3 player and not be at your peak. A player is at his peak when he's playing at his best. You mean Messi was at his peak in 2008 when he scored like 16 goals in all competitions? Ronaldo scored 42 goals in that same season. Messi only peaked in 2009 which incidentally happened to be his first uninterrupted season. For the first time, he scored more than 30 goals all season. He was very injury prone before then. That said, you can see why it's silly to compare goal Ronaldo's 9 years of peak football in Spain with Messi's full stay in la liga? You either compare their football in the 9 years they were together in Spain or compare their full career stats. Either way, Messi has the better stats and has played better. |

pazienza:Ronaldo that didn't even play anything in the final of the Euro (2016) that Portugal won. His team won without him on the pitch against France. The best he has done is helping his team get to the final. Messi has done that multiple times, even in the world cup. Unlike Messi however, Ronaldo has not even been outstanding in any international tournament he has played in. Portugal lost the previous final he played in. Lol. Unless you are a Madrid fan, your favorite team has not won the UCL after Messi won it with Barca in 2015. Oga, if La Liga was easy to win and dominate, how come Ronaldo only won it twice in 9 years? How come he was the best player just once in 9 years? How come he couldn't bully the small teams and win the league every year? Ronaldo is like the kind of player that gets 98% in maths but less than 70% in all the others, but likes to think he's better than his classmate whose average is 90% because he got like 92% in maths. Go and compare their average ratings across different competitions and seasons. Abeg dem no be mate. |

Ozkar: Not his fault he got injured in the final, his goals inspired his team to that final and even injured, he didn't drop his shoulders and wallow in self pity, he was on the sidelines motivating his team mates to carry on. What a leader! Little wonder he brings the best out of teammates everywhere he goes. Argentina are yet to win any major trophy with Messi. Messi is too limited as a player and easily marked out in crunch games. When it matters most, when the stakes are high, when it's do or die, Messi crumbles under pressure and leaves his team in shatters. Ronaldo in contrast excels under those high pressure conditions and delivers consistently. We saw it against Athletico recently. Messi is half the man CR7 is. Like I told you before, dominance in Europe will always take prominence over dominance in local league where you play Girona and rest, week in week out. Ronaldo is the best of his era. There will never be a higher level of Footbal in our era than the UCL, yet CR7 had monopolized the UCL in our era, consistently bringing his A game against the big boys and under high pressure situations. |

pazienza:lol. Messi crumbles under pressure when it matters most? So how come Messi has more total trophies than Ronaldo despite starting professional football 2 years later? He brings the best out of his teams? How come Ronaldo hasn't won every competition he's played in, even if just one season? How come Madrid went trophyless in a season that they had Ronaldo? How come Messi consistently had more MOTM performances even in the UCL seasons Madrid won? How come Ronaldo has never played even third place game in the world cup? He drops disasterclasses because they aren't high pressure conditions? That explains how he manages to have just 4 - 6 great performances in a season of more than 50 games. So far this season, a hattrick against Atletico is the only awesome game he's had, in more than 30 appearances for Juve. |
