Abi na see Messi playing with the Almighty Roberto,Alba,Pique,Busquet,Rakitic etc, while CR is playing with shitty, uber useless players like Ramos, Marcelo ,Pepe ,Modric and Kroos etc, and the most expensive squad in football history, they are just expensive for nothing, Useless players.

No wonder since CR arrived that very easy league called la liga, he has won only one Liga title whereas Messi has won five.

We all saw how CR won the UCL and league with Sporting, and how Man u crashed after CR left them, Man u making the CL final 2011, one season after he left, shows that Man u without CR was a very shitty team.

Cr7 won league and UCL with sporting? Man U won the EPL twice after Cr7 and even made it to 2011 finals. And Kroos, Modric, etc are shitty? Guy u don't watch football jare! That entirely summarizes how serious your argument is. Typical Ronaldo fans

Ronaldo needed a cup with Portugal. Despite all odds against him, he persevered and took his Portugal to glory.

Messi needed a cup with Argentina. Instead of him to struggle and get it, he decided to pull out of international football entirely...

Messi CANNOT survive outside Barcelona. He basically grew up there and had world class players handed to him.

Ronaldo fought his way to the top and became the best player in the world.



The Euros Ronaldo won he made any Effort in the final?

Ask a Ronaldo fan y dey think Ronaldo is better, they would start giving trash abt Ronaldo playing in different Leagues.. Which doesn't count at all, for me the only thing Ronaldo has over Messi is the euro he's won with his country. Bt Messi is by far the better player, if the likes of mourinho, Rooney, di Maria, zlatan, lampard, Paul Scholes, Raul, balotteli says Messi is the best I wonder what makes you think ur opinions still count.. The only people who claim Ronaldo is better are his team mates, or friends.. Even mesut oil while playing in Madrid once said he'd like to be like Messi.. Iker Casillas says Messi is the best.. Mario gotze said he would like to be like Ronaldo cos being like Messi is impossible

Bros, I concurred with everything you wrote except the highlighted.

Fact is: Portugal won the Euro INSPITE of Ronaldo and not because of him. And the fact that they won the trophy without Ronaldo speaks volumes. Portugal plays better without Ronaldo, same with Real Madrid. The only thing Ronaldo does in the game is to watch for scoring opportunities. He rarely tracks back to help his team mates defensively. And if he another player scores, he would start throwing fits. I have never seen a more selfish player in my whole life!

Bros nothing boils my blood that these silly argument on Messi vs Ronaldo. It isn't even close. gosh, it's not even a contest.

Here are what some of the legends of the game had said on that comparison:

"I never saw Messi off-form. To talk about him people should stand up first. He is unique. There can be replicas of some players, like Cristiano for example. The Portuguese is good, very good, but Messi is simply the best." Ronald de Boer

"Messi is the definition of football" -syredeathtrooper

"With Messi, tactics are optional"-elduderino

U are so quick to call someone retard on a mere argument nd u haven't checked urself.
So because Yaya and sanchez r doing well in epl means messi ll?? And u called ppl retards seriously. FYI Jordan finished his career with d wizards not bulls and I can mention 10 ballers better than Kobe, Kobe was even one of the worst players in his last 2 years.
Not all great players can adapt to new teams.

Listen, I live in Washington, DC when Jordan came to play for the Wizards and he himself would tell you that his career started and ended with Chicago Bulls. I used to visit his restaurant all the time and I have heard him made that assertion more than once.

His Wizards career, to him and to everyone who follows Basketball, was a footnote.

Got it

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 angry

That Yaya that you called a benchwarmers can oust any of your midfield player (excluding Iniesta) from their positions. Pedro got into the team because of Willian's mother death... He will soon go back to his best position (bench).

So because Lecester are doing well in UCL does that make them a power house EPL Wise up bro Champions League is diff compared to EPL (ask Liverpool- years back doing well in UCL but only struggles in the league).
Also look at it dis way, can u say because Chelsea beats Barcelona soooo Chelsea can also beat every team barca can beats

What has Sanchez and Pedro won since they got to the EPL?

Compare it to what Messi has won since they left.

Do you guys even understand that football is a TEAM sport? You need 10 other guys to win. No one has ever done it by himself, because it isn't a solo sport. Hence, I always laugh when I hear some morons argue that Messi isn't the best because he hasn't won a championship with Argentina. For Argentina to win, the other guys have to step up not just Messi. Sergio Aguero needs to start playing well for Argentina. Angel Di Maria needs to quit getting injury at crucial times for Argentina. And I can go on and on....

And in addition, do you guys even understand how dysfunctional the Argentine FA is? They are worse than Nigeria's NFF - much worse! Nobody can win anything with that FA. Even the best coaches: Mauricio Pochettino, Diego Simeone, etc. all refused to have anything to do with them.

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

Y shld Chelsea fans hate messi Is it because of the numerous goals he has scored against us I tire ooo... Sum Chelsea fans like him while sum don't, stop making a big deal out of it

Yes he did. How many men have you seen with a recently dislocated patella that still stand up, and go through all that pain, just to do something good for their country?
No one expected him to even walk after that injury.
Even in injury after leaving the pitch, he still stood trying to motivate his teammates.

Are you saying the league doesn't matter?

or that Argentina don't have good enough players?
What exactly is your point?


Most people are of the opinion that Messi is a great player but the league and team he is makes it easier for him...just like Ronaldo too. The only difference is that Ronaldo has played in other leagues and was still able to receive many accolades, Messi may not be able to replicate such if he played in other leagues. Suarez seems better because he's now playing in Barcelona, he wasn't this outstanding when he was at Liverpool, likewise Bale, Modric, Neymar (from Santos) etc
Re: Is Cristiano Ronaldo Really Better That Messi?? Have Your Say by Icon79(m): 5:50pm On Dec 01, 2016
And by the way, those of you asking Messi to go and play for another club before you can rate him are mildly delusional. Why would he want to play for another club side when he's already playing for the BEST football club in the world?

It's like asking the BEST Harvard or Oxford University student to go and attend UNILAG before you can rate him as a good student. Now, can you all see how ridiculous that argument sounds

I definitely hope so cheesy

No, that's not my point at all. Argentina has good players but most of them don't play well for Argentina. I don't know how long you've been following the Argies national team but, if you do, you'd realize that super stars like Sergio Aguero and Angel DiMaria rarely ever play well for the national team. Di Maria, in particular, tends to get injuries during crucial times for Argentina. Hence, Messi cannot do it by himself - nobody can, OK?

Secondly, to perform well as a team, you need structure and organization. The Argies cannot win any major tournament, even if they have 10 Messi's playing for them, until they can fix their dysfunctional FA. As regards to Messi going to play for another team, read my previous post.

I disagree with the bolded part, I believe most unbiased people also do.

Argentina cannot possibly get to the final of three major tournaments in three years if the players don't play well. They are only unlucky not to have won any of them.

As regards the Argentine FA, it is of little relevance to this discourse.

I still maintain that Messi may not be as good as he at Barcelona (or may not win trophies like he is doing at Barcelona) if he were to play for another club (especially in the EPL). Until he does that, most people won't agree he's better than Ronaldo.

In my own opinion, I really can't say who's better, I can only say who I prefer or who I'll rather have in my team (as a coach).
