But he feels like I am the one that needs to make an argument of why Messi is better.

The same way I believe Mikel Obi is better than Xavi.

People tend to love and support players that make them happy and spite those that break their hearts.

Both of them are a cut above the rest for now.
It's hard to say who is better. But Messi has a slight edge, due to Barca's dominance. Maybe if CR had played in Barca, and Messi in United/Real Madrid, the story may have been different.

Messi represents the geniuses of old (technique, flair, artistry), while Ronaldo represents the present and future (pace, power).

Both players are pretty decisive when their A-game switch is on. But Messi, probably due to the way Barca plays, can still contribute to a large extent, even when he's not on top of his game. Ronaldo by contrast likes to play in a particular way, and fades when the game isn't going his way.

No doubt that both are a cut above the rest.

I think CR7 is even at the cusp of the Maradona and Pele level. But I think Messi has reached a stage he is unarguably the greatest.

I have checked their stats and Messi is just all round better.

You gave it a nice summary. The EXACT ONE I was going to give later:

"Messi = (technique, flair, artistry), while Ronaldo = (pace, power)".

They are both prolific in front of goal but Messi's goals are more breath-taking overall in terms of the sheer artistry. Far more intelligent goals.

On the ground of sentiments only either of being a Man-U fan when Ronaldo was there or on the ground of being a real Madrid fan or on the other hand just being plain 'stewpid'

Messi is no doubt the best, most people that argue and try to place C. Ronaldo ahead of Messi are just being biased or a madrid or Man united fan.

A lot of people are against Barcenola's dominace, they feel its taking too long. Hence they try to be little Mesi's capability and hype C. Ronaldo, but in the true sense we all know who the best is. The statistics are there to support it.

Yep. No doubt!
