Messi is not 'every bit' as good as Ronaldo, his end product isnt even close to Ronaldo's nor is his consistency in shooting (not to mention the height and strength disadvantage)

At the end of the day, Messi still often suffers from the 'too much dribble, too less end product' syndrome. I'm not doubting for one second his talent or how good he is, but sometimes, because his style of play is so attractive and mesmerizing, people seem to overwank themselves when half of them probably don't even watch the premier division enough.
