Ronaldo >>>>>>>>>Messi

A liverpool fan saying Crissy -> Messi.

Nuff said.

Hardy Eustace agrees with you:

wouldn't get in the team ahead of King Luis and Sir Andy

And again, Messi should watch and learn from Ronaldo.

Very True

The thing is, ronaldo is just so unlikeable which combined with a willingness to go down at the slightest touch means people will always be more predisposed to messi who plays the game like he enjoys it

Hatty

Takes a better penalty too

To prove how good he is. He has gone from Man Utd to being one of my favourite players.

Assist....

not this fu cking debate again. we will se in el classico AGAIN

2009 World player of the year - Messi
2010 World player of the year - Messi
2011 World player of the year - Messi


2012 so far......

Messi 61 goals and 3 trophies
Ronaldo 52 goals and 0 trophies

Case closed.

Messi top goal scorer and also top on assists in europe.

Ronaldo is phenomenal but Messi is still easily the better player.

superb goals from Ronaldo he has improved no end at Real, under Mourinho.
The record over the last two seasons speaks for itself.

ronaldo the better player

barca's team was built around messi and still he might come 2nd to ronaldo's  madrid.

Ronaldo, been there done it imo.  Messi 2nd fiddle to Ronaldo. Yes and could still finish 2nd to Madrid.

Only a mug (JAMDAV and BUSQUESTSLONA) would suggest that Ronaldo is not in messi's league. The boy is extra ordinary.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...given the choice there's only one the greatest manager on the planet takes.

i think biscuit's post summed this up nicely

Still a very difficult argument...

I'd say Messi is lucky in the sense he has the most consistant set of players in the world around him.  They are constantly playing to his strengths and allowing him to flourish

Ronalso, proved again last night to expect the unexpected.  When the chips are down he is capable of exraordinarily piecs of talent.  He, much to people's surprise when he left has evolved as a footballer massively.

I thinkt the only way this can be answered is if Messi were to leave Barca and go and try his lucky at City and see what happens there.  Although this will never happen for a number of reasons and why would he leave his comfort zone?

I'd still take Messi (just) however the gap is closing

You just have to watch Messi against any top side in the world and see how he plays including v Real Madrid and decide then. Past two seasons that's what Ronaldo struggled with. Should easily be his trophy again and make it 4 in a row

I have never said Ronaldo is not in Messi's league, it's quite obvious to anyone that they're both amazing players and modern day greats.
However only one of them gets considered when discussing the greatest of all time, and only one of them keeps winning the world player of the year.

It's also worth noting that in this season which is Ronaldo's best ever for goalscoring, he's still a long way behind Messi.

And for those who say la liga is sh*te and a stroll in the park, let's compare their CL records.

Messi - 51 goals in 66 games
Ronaldo - 37 goals in 84 games

i hate when people go on about messi being lucky in such a great side.ozil and di maria and have more assists than than fabregas,iniesta,xavi combined.

MESSI CONTRIBUTES MORE THAN RONALDO THO. has ne1 a link to ronaldos free kick? i mised it

Messi is a player who thrives on being part of a TEAM....a team which is based round him which he contributes to massively.

Ronaldo is not interested in being part of a team...if they win 2-1 but he doesnt score the last minute winner and get the glory and score he isnt happy.

If you notice he rarely celebrates if he is not the scorer...

However his talent in undeniable

2011-2012 La Liga Top Goalscorer (So far)

Ronaldo 40 Goals
Messi 39 Goals


2010-2011 La Liga Top Goalscorer

Ronaldo 41 Goals
Messi 31 Goals


THESE ARE DEE FACTS


Real Madrid in terms of overall squad quality are a million years behind Barca, it's only Ronaldo who single handely is keeping Real Madrid IN and AHEAD in the race, take Ronaldo out that team and this Real Madrid team finish 15-20 pts behind this Barca, EASY. Take Messi and Ronaldo out both teams and Barca easily still storm the league. Messi is a great player but his support/ teammates are of immense quality, far superior to Real Madrids, Sure Real have Ozil, Kaka etc, but they would be lucky to be subs at Barca. Ronaldo truly is worth 2 players. Messi 1 and a half.

Messi clearly the better player.

He scores as many as Ronaldo and creates more than any other player on the planet.

The likes of R0y can keep grasping as straws that the debate is even still alive.

There is no question who would be the better on the park on sunday morning.  Messi just not big and strong enough.  Would be lucky if he lasted the half
