Argentina narrowly missed out on a spot in the 2006 World Cup semi final, if they had then Messi and CR7 would’ve faced each other in the 3rd place game.
Dang imagine 😮💨🔥
But Argentina has never lost a World Cup semifinal in the 93 years of the tournament, history dictates they wouldn't lose to Italy on that instance.
With all due respect , they weren't beating that Italian team , that defence was to strong and maldini was not even there@@BladeXRG
@@klif4755 in 1990 Italy reached the semifinals without conceeding any goals, and Argentina had barely made it out of the group stage in a group with Cameroon and Romania, and got to the semifinals scoring only four goals in five matches; what was arguibly the best defense in World Cup history lost to one of the most inconsistent Argentina squads at home. And fun fact, Italy has never even tied, let alone beat Argentina in the last 33 years; it's plausible that Riquelme, Tévez and Crespo could have knocked out Italy.
ok and? That doesn't mean much , just because they never lost a semifinal doesn't mean they were winning that one@@BladeXRG
"Messi,a playmaker with 800+ goals, a goal scorer with most assists"
He is a better creative midfielder than the best midfielders we have seen play the game, he literally controls the game
And this doesn’t even mention his dribbling.🐐
Messi is the best goal scorer of all time, if you don't believe me, check his stats at a thousand games. Why 1k games? Because that is an objective way to compare CR7 and Messi. He has more goals, more assists, more cups, more dribbles, more everything than CR7 at 1k games.

That's a good representation of Messi and Ronaldo. Messi is both one of the best finishers, AND one of the greatest captain of the offense in terms of assisting others. Both Ronaldo and Messi had two of the top teams in football around them during their entire club careers until lately. I also must say that Messi is possibly the best dribbler the world has ever seen, going through several opponents like it was nothing, in his prime, sometimes 4 and 5 defenders at the same time!

That’s until, cirstiano came back, plus Messi’s whole, career has ligit been in Barca ligit almost where he can easily assist players like Xavi, Puyol, Inesta, Neymar, Suearez, Pique and more, Ronaldo had to do it himself pretty much in Madrid, that’s why he was able to score more goals than Messi.

Like fr fr, I watched Liverpool from the beginning of the season and you can’t tell me that VVD was the main reason they got where they got. They had a world class Salah, world class mane and the whole team was in its prime. Unfortunately, they were only two season wonders, Messi on the other hand has carried abysmal Barcelona teams since the days of KOEMAN. Look at Barca now, they treat getting to the QF as success, without Messi they took a massive dive in quality. Look at Madrid, they went on to win another champions with a world class benzema leading the team. Just watch the teams now bro, and tell me which team misses Messi or Ronaldo more…. Who knows when Barca will be back to its former glory days, because since Messi left they’re basically arsenal level.

Never cared less for this debate. From the eye test. Messi had the ability to go head 2 head with Pelé & Maradona. With Cristiano. I didn't see anything in his abilities that cleared Cruyff, Zidane, R9, Dinho, to stand parity with Pelé & Maradona.
I love both Messi and Ronaldo as players, but by simple math and logic Messi had better stats on everything
Yep!
Lets forget abt the messi and ronaldo debate for a second. Real madrid having arguably the best defense of the time was conceding the exact same goal over and over again
Can people stop hyping Madrid defense already? The central backs were thugs who lacked tact, calmness and composure, just playing dangerously and that’s what Messi likes so he fucked them over and over again.

Its as simple as watching them play. Cristiano is not even close to Messi. I seriously don’t understand what joy Cristiano fans get from watching him. He does the same 2-3 moves every single time and touches the ball 10 times per game, sometimes less. Messi is all over the place delivering magic and style. Easy pick

Messi is the best playmaker to ever exist , i just told you
Both great players. Ronaldo does incredible things like scoring, aerial assault, acrobatic kicks, positioning for a finish etc. We've seen these feats from the likes of Eto, Shevchenko, Henry, R9, Van Basten, etc. The things Messi does are all of the above (minus headers and much athleticism), plus he does things you have rarely seen b4 on a regular basis. Just an opinion.
thats not opinion, thats a fact. there are video how mourinho stop messi when hes coaching inter. obi also explain that stopping messi and barca incredibly difficult. theyre all involving multiple players to stop messi since 1v1 him almost guarantee lose and he will solo your defese, if commiting too many players messi could spot his teammate and deliver killer pass.
ronaldo is different, just assign world class defender to deal with him and you got good chances to stop ronaldo or at least stall him enough to reorganize defense. ashley cole is the most successful, dani alves does very good and puyol did decent dueling with ronaldo. ferguson did this to messi using park ji sung. messi walk over him almost whole match.
@@user-zq7vi8lm4z First off, that early Barcelona team is considered one of the best teams in the history of the sport. So you really can't say it was Messi vs Ronaldo. It was Barcelona vs a Real Madrid team that at that time was not so great, but Ronaldo still managed to find the back of the net a decent amount of times. And I find it funny how you say just assign a World Class defender to deal with Ronaldo. First off, how many world class defenders are there, I guess not many because Ronaldo has scored an unbelievable amount of goals. Also if Messi is so unstoppable how come he usually did most of his damage in the group stages of the Champions league when they are facing lesser competition. Even the world cup 2014 he did nothing after the group stage but ONE assist, and this is when he was in his prime.
@@jcbones3098 Messi was more effective in the group stages but it so not say that he was not in the knock outs. Definitely i would say cr7 is better in ucl because of his legacy, but overall bigger big game player is messi. He has the most goals in finals, insane record against english top 6 without playing in the prem, only player to get 10/10 rating in a ucl final, scored in each knock out stage of the WC plus a brace in the final at 35, most goals in a single champions league game, more goals that ronaldo in major international tournaments, most goals against the greatest club off all time, i can go on forever. While i list these I do not want to undermine cr7, hes insane and the best in many aspects, but in big games and being the GOAT of the sport, he is 2nd to messi. And there is nothing wrong with that.
@@sharankopal6662 Dude Messi is a great player, BUT In big games that is Ronaldo's territory. Look up what Maradona said about Messi, how he couldn't handle big games, and would vomit multiple times. Ronaldo lives for the big game, and has come through many times in big games. Also player ratings is subjective and dont' mean sh*t to me. Just like he won the best player award in 2014 world cup and didn't deserve it. He scored all his goals in the group stage and only had one assist after. Yet Argentina reached the finals, but lost to Germany. When Maradona was asked how could this be, he shrugged it off and said he got the award because of marketing.
@@jcbones3098 if youre smart enough i actually explain messi and ronaldo abilities as individual. Messi always had more option due to his ability to get past defender + finish by himself and world class playmaking. Foul him in dangerous area isnt good either since hes fk master.
Also are you kidding me? Real isnt good that time? Real madrid on paper better than barca. The el clasico comentator even said so. Talent to talent comparison wise real madrid never weaker than barca even on their golden age. Barca seems better because messi and pep is there.
There actually lots of world class defender back in the day. Almost every major club got some of them. Nesta, maldini, materazzi, zanetti, rio, vidic, terry, cavarlho, ashley cole, ramos, pepe, marcelo, alves etc. quality standard of a player at that time simply higher compared to today.

@@JF.. Messi had guardiola who has backed him and built a team around him. You can't find a midfield duo like Xavi-Iniesta anymore.
@@user-ih4vy8ty5h Like you knew xavi and Iniesta before Pep guardiola. People tend to forget Xavi, Iniesta, Sergio Busquets etc became household names under guardiola who was a rookie at the time. Whereas Madrid had José Mourinho who was already a champions league winner, made name in England and Portugal. Madrid always had great players and great coaches and to this day. Madrid is known worldwide for signing super players more than any other club in Europe. They even signed Luís Figo from Barcelona. Ronaldo played with the best coaches and players compared to Messi. Players who already made name for themselves, like World Cup winners, UEFA champions league winners and the Ballon d'Or. Starting with Alex Ferguson and his Manchester United squad back in 2001-2009 before joining Madrid at age 24.
At Madrid Ronaldo played with midfielders like, Xabi Alonso, Toni Kroos, Luka Modrić, etc now go back and research the whole Madrid team, Manchester United team he played with and Juventus. Ronaldo played with Kaka, Bale, Pepe, Ryan gigs, angel dimari, karim Benzema, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ricardo Carvalho, Paul scholes, vidic, Rio Ferdinand, like i could go on for days. Most of these players pick Messi over Ronaldo as the GOAT. I have been watching the beautiful game since the early 80s. I saw these things with my own eyes. Nobody cared about Barcelona after Ronaldinho left, infact we all thought Pep would fail because he was a ROOKIE at the time but somehow he created a team. Pep started gaining popularity after the win against Manchester United in the champions league whereas football fans around the World always knew Messi was special even before Pep. Go back and watch the FIFA World Youth Championship, watch every match he played and the final against Nigeria. He was the top scorer in that tournament btw. R9 and Maradona are my favorites but even i know Messi is the GOAT.

sometimes it's not about who is better in footballs but their overall attitude which makes them worthy of being the goat
After a lot of thinking I've come to the final opinion that it's best to appreciate these two. Both of them share common traits that made them serial winners and record-breakers. But they implement it differently, Messi does it through visionary playmaking, whereas Cristiano does it through explosive goalscoring. Both of them have their weaknesses due to their physiques, Messi can't score headers the way Cristiano does and Cristiano can't dribble the way Messi does. I'm sure a similar conclusion can be reached when talking about their mentalities. At the end of the day, the two of them needed each other because they would've ended up being another Eden Hazard and Gareth Bale, which is still amazing but never in the GOAT conversation. It's going to be a sad day for World Football when these two hang their boots.

Great one my guy. Messi was always better at playing football, and Ronaldo was a complete FOOTBALLER.
You mean complete goal scorer
how do you understand COMPLETE FOOTBALLER???😂
People who say CR is a complete footballer are delusional. Objectively, CR is very much a one dimensional player. He's a goal scorer and that's it. He has nothing else to offer. Messi on the other hand has sooo much more to offer his teams than scoring goals. CR fans are the most delusional people that exist
@@choosetolivefreeLOL the entire game of football since it’s existed thousands of years ago is…to score goals. CR7 Is the best at it so by default he’s the best of all time, it’s very simple really.
@@Jordan-gi5hq0 football knowledge
So, actually: Penaldo scored a few goals more then Messi in a lot more matches. And other from goals, Messi is miles ahead in every stat except UCL's, because of Penal Vardrid's stealing streak with poppa Perez buying refrees.
You can watch an hour video of Messi’s assist and be in awe of his passing ability, his ability on making the defenders come to him while he dribbles them all to make space to a beautiful assist, or a crazy pass from far through the defenders, you can’t compare CR7 to Messi , that’s why Messi is the player with the most team trophies, superb goal scorer and amazing playmaker, a complete player one in a life time
Messi in his fifth best season (10/11, 11/12, 12/13, 14/15, 18/19) was a better player than CR7 in his best season and there is a consens among coaches that Messi is the best of his generation - that says it all.
I have huge respect for CR7, like his amazing workethic and I think that he is definitely one of the best players oat, but everyone who thinks he is better or on the same level as Messi is not neutral or knows nothing about football
Messi 2018/19 doesn't come close to even 2016/17(8th best season)

@@syed1721 lol ,he always played at the top teams in every leagues. Man u, Madrid, Juventus,al Nasser .
So why has your idol failed outside of Barcelona ? Especially when he joined PSG when he had that disastrous first season with 6 goals in all competitions? Ronaldo has succeeded in other teams and in the Premier League (the toughest league in the world) while Messi failed outside of Barcelona at club level. That is definitely not a goat by any means.
@@xAmiin That argument is really trash for 2 things one, no one talks bad about Paulo Maldini, Francisco totti, Gerd Muller, Pele, Ryan Giggs, Steven Gerrad, but only use this argument against Messi, you know why? Because they performed consistently at the highest lvl and did the best for there club. Messi has basically joined different clubs as hes played under many managers and completely different players , but still outshines everyone hes played with. Shocking fact, did you know messi almost has the same amount of goals scored against the prems big 6(aka hardest league)while playing almost 3x the amount of games and only 2 goals behind Ronaldo, yet having more assist. Proving that hes still performs against the top teams better than Ronaldo. Your argument can also be counterd by Ronaldo is just more adaptable than Messi, which dosent automatically make him better but its a good attribute. Also Messi won the Ballandor while playing for Psg coming 3rd in most goals and having the most assist with 32 g/a in his 2nd season for psg
Different positions. Different caliber players, different teams. Teams that played for each other vs a team that wants to out run another. Great players deserves all the respect for what they brought into the game. Still love Ronaldo more as he done it in all the leagues he played including the EPL.
Messi has always performed better

I don't know why people debeat about the messi vs ronaldo topic.but here my thought about them
1.messi play for a better national team that's why he won world cup
2.people think playmaker is all about dribbling but not
3.enjoy the messi vs ronlado topic
In the end we never see two players like them
Ya correct bro, we should enjoy their contribution to football rather than comparing them.
Just one correction to you. If in 2022 messi had a good national team then in 2006 ronaldo also had a good national team with louis figo and deco. Still he failed to win it. Not comparing but you can't take messi's achivement like this.
@@umangnishantsinha2435 yep you right about it but also he is very young that time so it's hard for him .
imagine being so deluded.you say messi plays for a better national team but didn't we saw in that wc portugal had a better team ?what's the point of enjoying if we can't decide who is the goat?that means it's clearly time wasting.messi vs ronaldo topic comes up with a purpose that who is the goat.if your thinking just enjoy than i will kindly tell you(NO ONE WILL ENJOY IF THERE IS NO MEANING),in the end putting all things together like stats,eye test,both ablities(Goalscoring,Playmaking) and with deep analylizing.we can come at one point that messi is the goat if we think with logic and deep understanding.
By that logic, Ronaldo should not have won 2016 Euro then
I hope their rivalry continues for years to come. Neither would have accomplished as much as they have without the other.
It’s over so get used to it
No doubt they both still entertain our generation 😊❤
I have always known that Messi is the better player and so shall it be, but remember that Ronaldo came to a new team and you wouldn't expect him to immediately fit in and compete with Messi who grew up within his team. Ronaldo is a hard worker, a competitor and a role model, if you need inspiration even beyond football, look to Ronaldo. Messi is Goat but CR7 deserves respect for challenging him.
Goated Comment
My respect
Barcelona had the better team, the better players, Messi was surrounded by all these world class players, Ronaldo had some amazing players among him as well but nothing compared to Barcelona but yet Ronaldo still delivered and carried the Real Madrid team that’s why I think that Ronaldo is truly amazing! (I’m not saying Ronaldo is better than Messi I’m just making a point people can think about)
Talent for talent the players that they were surrounded by were pretty much equal. The difference was the talent that Messi had
No. The teams were pretty balanced. Infact ronaldo has never played with poor teammates until he went to man united on his second run and we know how that turned out. He needs service from teammates. Messi made a poor barca side win trophies almost all by himself. See how badly they’re struggling now even with better players
is it harder to start n prove urself as a youngster for a star-studded barca or a rookie sporting league outside europes top leagues?
No bro. Ronaldo had prime man utd and prime rma with him
@@KD-yb4xu not it wasn't, it was barcas better defence you deluded sped
This shows how Ronaldo was a great individual player cause by the look of it he managed to get allmost the goals that Messi but without getting the enough wins meaning if you swap Messi from Barcelona to Madrid things might turn in Ronaldo’s favour
I disagree, I'm a Barcelona fan, but that Real was a piece! Barcelona was majestic as well! So don't say "if" cause, Ronaldo won everything with that Real including 3 UCL in a row! And this guy is counting every straight match they had meet!
@@dspaiazejr.Yeah but those early years 09,10, and 11 that Barcelona team is considered one of best in history if not the best. Spain won two Euros and a World cup with mostly Barca players. That Real Madrid team in the early years was not a good "team". If Ronaldo played on that Barca team they DEFINITELY would have won just the same. Ronaldo has proved throughout his career that he can adapt to different clubs and systems. That Barca team with him would still be unstoppable, he would not be a player to slow them down, he would enhance them.

@@DianA0_13 You my friend don't understand football.

Great video. You're one of the best. Ronaldo is also a great, great player, but it's clear from this that Messi betters him. Debate is over. Ronaldo himself has said the rivalry is over.
The stats said it, the players said it, the pitch said it, the play style said it... Only Ronaldo fans can't hear it !
There has been a debate raging among fans and pundits over who's the better player between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but in my opinion as fans we should be privileged that we witnessed 2 generational talents go head to head and have very interesting battles score loads of goals get lots of assists and produce jaw dropping moments time and time again that left many of us shocked and we enjoyed every moment of them and yes we can debate on who's better which we've been doing that for years, as least as fans we saw 2 ridiculous players for 15+ years and even at their age they remain class.
I think in terms of ability skill and intelligence Messi has the edge as he's the better player. Messi is a prolific goalscorer as a player he's better at creating, passing, dribbling, his football IQ and understanding of the game, not to mention that he's also the most decorated player in football history with the cherry on top which is the World Cup. This was the same Lionel Messi who scored 91 goals in a calendar year which is an unbreakable record, while also being an elite level playmaker and it's rare that you see players who are consistent goalscorers and playmakers showing that his impact as a player is beyond goals and offensively with the ball at his feet, he can do everything score create produce something out of nothing etc. Even though he scored 91 goals in a calendar, there's an argument that Ronaldo edges him in terms of goalscoring and he is faster and more athletic than Messi. The things that Cristiano Ronaldo can do, Lionel Messi can't do, Ronaldo is a pure finisher and as he's evolved in his career he's become more complete as his heading his jumping accuracy and positioning is spot on and he was able to cause problems with his off ball movement. Both of them have different profiles and were efficient regardless and if I want a goalscorer on my team, then it's Cristiano Ronaldo because he is the best goalscorer ever, from a footballing perspective if I want the complete package which is goals assists and creativity then it's Lionel Messi. At the end of the day, they're a level above every player in world football and I don't think we'll ever see players like Messi and Ronaldo again.
I agree with much of what you have said, but in Ronaldo's favor I would add one more thing and that is the mentality factor. I remember I believe it was 2015 a player from the Portugal national team was asked how was it to play with Ronaldo. Paraphrasing he said; Its great before a big game in the tunnel I was nervous, but when I looked across to the opposing team, and saw that they were looking at Ronaldo. and they looked nervous. Ronaldo exuded confidence, upon seeing the oponents reaction to him I became calm. This is one of the factors that many don't consider on how Ronaldo's mentality lifts his teammates. He welcomes pressure, that many try to avoid.
If you want to talk about mentality then you don't exclude messi,interms of mentality,messi is far more mentally superior,had a lot of loss especially international level yet continued to play, just because messi doesn't pose in front of camera, doesn't mean,he doesn't have winning mentality, you don't stay on top for years without a superior mentality.
@@Colorbind005 You cannot compare Messi's mentality to Ronaldo's. Messi quit the national team, because of failure. Maradona has been quoted saying that Messi WAS NOT a leader, and that he would vomit multiple times before a big game. He is not in the same league mentality wise with Ronaldo.
@@jcbones3098 maybe not but he's competitivness is still far above most players regardless of it not being on ronaldos level
Messi can do everything Ronaldo can do. Ronaldo can't do everything Messi does.
I’m not a huge soccer fan but I remember when I was younger playing fifa 12 I always used Messi and my budd would argue that ronaldo was better and worked harder. My response then was “hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. But this in the case Messi probably worked harder”
an average player can win a world cup champions league or eurocup in the bench.
but only the greatest can break records and win massive individual trophies

Big fan ❤
The Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo debate was settled after Messi won the World Cup. Both of their fans can agree on one thing which is that they had a long term impact on the game dominated football for so long, the numbers they put up were simply not normal even to a point where even if they score 25 goals, that's seen as a bad season for them, that tells you how high their standards have been for so long. A thing that makes these 2 a rivalry is Lionel Messi was on Barcelona, Cristiano Ronaldo was on Real Madrid, and even before Ronaldo went to Madrid, it was between Messi and Ronaldo for the best player in the world. In that champions league final in 2009 between Barcelona and Manchester United, that header he scored was ridiculous and at the time each of them had a champions league title and Ballon Dor to their name.
They were seriously on 2 iconic clubs going at it in the same league and every time Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo went up against each other the moments each of them produced were absolutely ridiculous and you wonder how they managed to do it. The biggest rivalry in Spanish football is El Classico and every time Messi and Ronaldo went up against each other for Barcelona and Real Madrid, they played against each other in La Liga Champions League Spanish Super Cup Copa Del Rey they literally played against each other almost 3-4 times a season depending on how far their teams got in the champions league. Head to head it was always an interesting battle between 2 of football's biggest superstars and the games always lived up to the hype and the moments they had when they played each other you wonder how they even did it. When they were playing in La Liga, every season they motivated each other to get better and El Classico was always a thriller and in terms of wins goals and assists, Lionel Messi had the edge over Cristiano Ronaldo and in career as well.
That's a beautiful view point. But I think you're trying to keep it more respectable. In my view tho, there has never been any debate between the two; from 2007-08 CR7 was the best in the world - no debate. Also, from 2009-2019 with the possible exception of 2014, Messi was the best in the world - no debate again.
Football in my view should be based on performances first. Then stats can follow suite. I saw some stats recently that came as no surprise to me that since 2009 Messi has gotten more than 300 motm performances in contrast to CR7's 100 plus nearly 200 motm and since 2009 Messi has also had a 10/10 perfect rating about 118 times in contrast to 38 from CR7. I know these are subjective but they're not far from the reality at all. But Ronaldo makes up for this gulf in class between them by stat-padding and having people look at football from that perspective alone.
In terms of numbers, yes there was and is a debate perhaps which I still think Messi edges. But in terms of performances, eye test, records, iconic moments, consistency and achievements all in one CR7 really doesn't come close and this had nothing to do with Messi winning the world cup. Just for the doubters who were searching a means to downgrade Messi internationally the Copa 2021 win was what effectively ended any such debate from their camps.
I find it kind of embarassing for Messi to say he needed a world cup to edge CR7. He needed the world cup mainly for Pele and Maradona arguments and to further shut the mouths of haters and CR7 delusionals but not to "edge" CR7.
Messi has greater performances at league level, international level, domestic level and surprisingly to some even in the UCL...but CR7 has greater numbers in UCL, hence his title as Mr. Champions league, but not greater performances than Messi.
There's no debate and has NEVER been between Messi and Ronaldo to those interested in football!!!

Excellent video bro... 💯💯💯🤝🙌👏🔥🔥🔥
Its easier for Messi to playmake because 1st of all, he started at a strong club, Barca, with Suarez, Neymar, Puyol, Iniesta, Xavi, Ronaldinho sand many more. He had it pretty easy for him. Ronaldo had to go from Sporting Lisbon tongetbto where he is. 2nd of all, Ronaldo can only score goals, yeas, but Ronaldo is just more of an attacker. His job is to score goals. Especially since he doesnt have many teammates who shoot and finish as good as him to assist. They are pretty equal.
And why did he started off in sporting? Because he was trash as a youngster, and Messi was a champion from the get go, easier for him to playmake? He made david villa look like an Elite Striker. And from that logic Messi still had better stats, goals and assists post 2015 when he had none of them, and Ronaldo didn't after having the strongest Real Madrid side. Messi is better, period.
@@hydrocy.9165 Just be true to yourself Ronaldo had it harder then Messy. He was from the island of Madeira small Island almost no one knows he had to prove himself just to get to play for sporting.

After that he had to prove Man U he was the best in the squad and he did that won champions league and ballon d'or all that in England while Messy just chilling and relaxing at Barcelona.

The debate over who is better between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi is a perennial one, with fans and pundits passionately arguing in favor of their preferred player. While both are undeniably football legends, several aspects of Cristiano Ronaldo's game make a compelling case for why some believe he surpasses Messi.
Firstly, Ronaldo's physicality sets him apart. Standing at 6 feet 2 inches, he possesses a remarkable combination of speed, strength, and athleticism. This physical prowess allows him to excel in aerial duels, making him a potent goal-scoring threat from headers - a facet of the game where Messi, with his smaller stature, might not have the same impact.
Moreover, Ronaldo's versatility is a key factor in his superiority argument. Over the course of his career, he has demonstrated the ability to adapt to various positions and tactical setups. Ronaldo has played as a winger, central striker, and attacking midfielder, showcasing a versatility that adds an extra dimension to his team's play. Messi, while incredibly skillful, is often associated with a specific role and style of play.
Ronaldo's goal-scoring prowess is another area where he shines. Known for his powerful and accurate shots, he consistently ranks among the top goal-scorers in every competition he participates in. His goal-scoring exploits in the UEFA Champions League, in particular, stand out, as he continues to break records and set new standards for excellence on the grandest stage of European club football.
Furthermore, Ronaldo's work ethic and dedication to his physical condition are exemplary. His commitment to maintaining peak fitness levels into his 30s is a testament to his professionalism. This discipline contributes not only to his goal-scoring ability but also to his overall impact on the pitch. Messi, while undoubtedly hardworking, might not have the same rigorous approach to fitness as Ronaldo.
While these points highlight Ronaldo's strengths, it's essential to acknowledge that football is subjective, and the Messi vs. Ronaldo debate often boils down to personal preference. Messi's close ball control, vision, and playmaking ability are unparalleled, earning him numerous accolades and adoration from fans worldwide.
In conclusion, arguing that Ronaldo is better than Messi is subjective and depends on individual preferences. Both players have left an indelible mark on the sport, rewriting records and mesmerizing football enthusiasts with their unique styles. The beauty of the debate lies in celebrating the greatness of two extraordinary athletes who have enriched the world of football in their own distinct ways.
Bro this is the best comment on TH-cam you should copy and paste it to other comments section too
I don't understand why are we even comparing them? They are polar opposites. Ronaldo is raw, powerful and direct while Messi is smooth, almost looks flimsy at times. They both marked the 21st century in football and are imo the best players ever. People say that winning the WC settled it but comparing Argentina to Portugal is silly. WC is a national competition and football isn't a solo game, you need the other 10 to play the same game as you and for Ronaldo that wasn't the case.
