Good fan.

We don hear your own, hear dis ronaldo has won champions league with two different clubs, balloon d or with two diffent clubs, LA liga and EPL, intact the only EPL player to have won balloon d or, messi is scared to play another league, you keep mentioning age well ronaldo has promised to play till 40 yes.

This debate has been clear for a long time. The last time ronaldo was on the same level with messi was the time he won the balon' dor in man utd.
Don't get me wrong...cr7 is an absolute freak with insane tecnical and physical qualites and a strive for consistent improvement but let me ask this question.
How much does cr7 impact a game if he doesn't score
Messi influence in games is too evident. He scores, he assists, he dribbles, better than ozil in playmaking, great at freekicks, has a better goal to game ratio than cr7(club+country). What more could u want from a player.
Messi is without doubt the greatest player in history...the only people who say cr7 is better are either bigoted man utd/epl or madrid fans. About the argument about proving himself in the epl, why would he downgrade himself by going to the epl?
He has disgraced man city, arsenal, man utd(2 finals). Epl can never be a challenge for him. Suarez proved himself in the epl, why is he not better than messi at barca.

Help Me Tell Them Ooo.

those who cant switch club did so for reasons best known to dem.. But I can tell u that I av seen many players that changed clubs and got affected.
Go and asked the likes of Kaka, Deco, Shevchenko, Owen.
What I'm trying to say here is Ronaldo dazzle in Man Utd, dazzle in real madrid. Let messi change environment. We all know how many trophy he has won wit argentina senior level.

RoyalBlak007:

Ronaldo is always compared to messi...
Messi is always compared with Maradona and Pele

you nailed it one bottle of heineken for you no 2 instead

hmmm one of them won a major trophy with his country while the other got angry and went into retirement, but thank God he's back lol ......

cr7 helps his country to win euro d other one get to final 4tyms and won nothing plus cr7 has score any club in d world plus Chelsea but wait I didn't say messi didn't score chelsea

I don't no where u heard messi did better than Suarez but my question is have u been following?or did u always loose concentration of barca highest assist and top goal scorer. and Suarez has already proven to b a gud player he proved it at Netherland,England, even at Uruguay ur messi only gud at barca FACT

I am yet to see anybody comparing Ronaldo and Pele or Maradona. All I see is Messi vs Pele or Maradona.

You can only seen as being reasonable if you say that Ronaldo was better in a particular season.
No one can deny that Ronaldo is an excellent footballer with great hunger for success but it is unfair to the football world to say that he is better than Messi overall.

In my opinion, the only person marginally better than Messi is Pele duo to his statistics .
Messi has overshadowed Maradona. You can Google their head to head comparison.

We just have to enjoy both great players.
