Depends on the media. The ones on Canadian tv (two English guys and Stephen caldwell) called Kroos and Modric two of the best midfielders in history and Marcelo the best left back in the world.

Err...No.
Haha vote changers reveal yourself
That’s what happens when you have a world class midfield and forward line. Modric going there still haunts me as Fergie wanted him to replace Scholes first time round. As for Kroos, well, his form over the last 3/4 years has been outstanding.
Wasn’t Ronaldo supposed to be in the MLS starting last year? Weird.
Then you do not understand how football works.
I'm afraid I do Peyroteo.
It most certainly does and it's perfectly timed too after the amount of stupidity this thread reached in the past few days. The thing about Ronaldo is that there's no such thing as shutting up his critics anymore, it's good to know they're all still here with no shame at all.
If you don't think it's a contest at all then you haven't got a clue.
You can't change can you?
@gibers are you okay?
My eyes have been opened. Cristiano took me to a place I didn't know it was possible to go
El Kommander
I don’t see anyone criticising him here based on tonight. I think the only thing that goal goes tonight in terms of their rivalry is puts ronaldo at the top of the pile for best goal either of them have scored in their careers. Messi v Bilbao in the cup final and against real in the CL semi probably come closest but I like Ronnie’s tonight more.
I saw Rio Ferdinand comparing this with Rooney’s against city, even though Rooney connected with his shin
Nope you can’t. I suppose if ever there was a reason to come off the fence that goal was it
In terms of who's the better player I don't because Messi is better.
However don't infer from that I think Ronaldo isn't a great of the game as he obviously is. As I've said countless times already I place him in the top 10.
You seem to be under the impression that those who say Messi is better are also claiming Ronaldo is crap or something.
Give it a few months and we'll be arguing about it, that's always how it goes. After the game has just finished is not long enough to try and rewrite history. A few months from now he'll have done nothing other than score, Madrid's midfield dominated the match and he was just the finishing touch.
Looks like it’s a landslide
What do people prefer? I think when you take everything into account that’s Messis best goal, 0-0 in a cup final and a more impressive dribble than the one versus Madrid in the CL semi final. Getafe are shite so that goal isn’t as impressive in an all time sense.
Undoubtedly Ronaldo’s best goal in his career.
I opt for CR7
Does Messi vs Getafe ring a bell?
We've seen bicycle kicks from time to time and although CR7s tonight was spectacular it's not unique. Hell, Mandzukic in the CL final last year was close. Messi vs. Getafe and vs. Bilbao in the CDR final were complete one man shows of destroying the entire defense by ones self.
Penaldo...
Honestly, I get why Messi is considered the better of the two but I'd much rather have a peak Ronaldo in our team than Messi. That's probably my United bias but there's something special about Ronaldo which Messi doesn't quite have.
Love seeing him do well, but still slightly bitter it isn't with us. Like seeing your ex start hooking up with a 6 foot plus bodybuilder.

My dream of Messi playing against Stoke on a wet windy cold Wednesday night at the Brittania is over once Stoke get relegated
True.
Cardiff will come up though. Do you think Messi could do it on a cold, wet and windy night in South Wales? I certainly don't!
Which Mod changed 'Messi' to 'Not Messi' in the poll?
REVEAL YOURSELF!!!
REVEAL YOURSELF!!!

To be fair to Rio, he did say Rooney’s was a shinner on BT.
They also asked was this a better goal than the Porto thunderbastard. I’m not sure.

I like how you putting him as a top 10 player of all time is supposed to be a compliment
It's not 2014 for fecks sake. I'd be interested to see who the other 9 are then.
But let me guess this straight, you think they're 2 of the top 10 of all time and at the same time you believe there shouldn't even be a debate on who's better? How is that possible? I think I've repeated myself enough times in this thread and I'm over arguing about it but thinking it's not a contest at all is just idiotic. And that would be true wether he played the game he did or if he had played like crap.
Not sure it even makes his top 10 best goals to be honest. If you take into account the importance of matches it's either this one, the Porto one or the Arsenal freekick.
My best Ronaldo goal was the free kick against Portsmouth from.about 45 yards out. He created a new way of taking free kicks and many have tried to copy.
Critics? You and a few other stans seem to be taking people saying Messi is better as being a "critic".
I don't think anyone actually doubts Ronaldo or doesn't appreciate how good he is.
Great goal but let’s not start to rewrite history. Juninho Pernambucano at Lyon was doing every free kick you could ever imagine including the so-called ‘knuckleball’ before Ronaldo.
Then you really do not understand how to judge players. Anyone who thinks one is a clear winner over the other by some distance is just kidding themselves or don’t understand the impact
Messi with a hat-trick tomorrow
What kind of logic is this?
I think Messi and Maradona are 1 and 2 all time. I think Cruyff is also in the top 10. I don't think there should be any debate as to whether or not Cruyff is better than them (he clearly isn't).
Lol forgot about him! Guess I have my to also tint3d glasses on!
