I think we need their careers to end and then some more years to evaluate their legacies better.

before the match: Juve going out means doesn't take away any of Ronaldo's greatness.
after the match: RONALDO IS THE GREATEST EVER.
I mean, I agree, he is, but it's funny.

No need tbh. Ronaldo has showed more than enough already in the CL. Messi rests too much on his natural talent. Ronaldo dies on the pitch
When they'll retire.. It won't be the same.
Yeah, because Bernardeschi did nothing today.
"Ronaldo depends on Modric and Kroos without them he is nothing"
He then leaves Madrid and Madrid get eliminated in the round of 16 and Ronaldo goes to the quarters with a worse midfield behind him.
Place him in any team and they become contenders he is THAT GUY.

Well, it's more about perspective than anything. It's hard to have perspective in the middle of everything.
Ronaldo is out there doing it in another top tier league at age 34!! Never hid behind one club, one ideology. Gotta give him the edge again until further notice. It's going to be advantage Messi if he wins the CL this year though.
OH Jesus Christ so take out Ronaldo out this team and tell me if they go through. get a grip.
You are right in theory but I think with time, Ronaldo will increase the gap even more
How? Ronaldo won 3 in a row and won a major trophy with Portugal. Messi needs 2 CL to dethrone Ronaldo now.
Both of em are lucky they haven't come up against Matthijs de Ligt yet honestly.
Correct, Messi being kicked from pillar to post in the premier league mid winter, sorry, but he just can't hold a candle to Ronaldo who's conquered every league he's played at.
No, but single-handedly is an hyperbole.
This is what Juve paid 100M for, for someone able to put the stamp and sent Atletico away, Madnzukic or Dybala wouldn't be able to do this with 10 Bernardeschis today, this is what Ronaldo brings.
Well same was said about Messi, how he's nothing without Xavi and Iniesta.
While I agree Ronaldo is greater than Messi, the notion that Messi wouldn't be able to do it in the premier league is hilarious
It's not just one game though, is it? It's almost become normal for Ronaldo to smash home another brace or hat-trick to dig his team out of a hole. I've never seen anyone like him when it comes to consistently scoring match-winning goals in games where there seems to be no hope of winning.
So undisputed GOAT until tomorrow night
PL mid winter would be his end...
Come on now. Messi has destroyed some of the best english clubs in the CL already. He would be fine in the PL
feck this thread, none of you are going to change your opinion on this no matter what type of performances these individuals put out.
because he never done it against the big English sides?
I would sign both for my Fantasy Club. End of discussion.
Think Ronaldo has more big games in CL crunch games than Messi. His record in the knock-out stages of the CL is on a different level to Messi's.
Imagine him on a cold, windy night at Stoke though.
Ronaldo is by far the best it’s not even up for debate.
Not said that at all, would he be hitting 40+ goals a season in the premier league? Not a chanceWhile I agree Ronaldo is greater than Messi, the notion that Messi wouldn't be able to do it in the premier league is hilarious
Its not that he wouldnt be able to do it. Its not the premier league but doing it in different leagues is impressive.While I agree Ronaldo is greater than Messi, the notion that Messi wouldn't be able to do it in the premier league is hilarious
For the reason its impressive is you prove you can do it with different teammates, under different tactics and a different manager.
Of course Messi would rip the premier league apart in terms of quality but 1) until youve done it you can only speculate 2) who knows if Messi could replicate the same amount of trophies and awards (his teammate's wouldnt be as good)
I can proudly say that I've changed my opinion on this topic about two years ago. the change going from Messi being a better player and a more successful player to Messi being more talented, but Ronaldo being a greater player. There's some hope yet.
My secret is not giving a feck about either of 'em.
Nah, he's just able to play good in hot climates like sunny Pamplonabecause he never done it against the big English sides?
I hope people understand the importance of mentality/drive that often gets laughed about here.
Yeah, but brexit innitbecause he never done it against the big English sides?
Stoke got themselves relegated before Messi could come over and take the ultimate test of his quality
Ronaldo has never done that bro
Precisely. A great performance here or there from either player will not change this.Great performance, but Messi's still better at football, sorry
Erm yes he has broRonaldo has never done that bro
All Messi is is the most technically gifted footballer ever.
C. Ronaldo is the greatest footballer ever. The most successful footballer.

"being kicked from pillar to post in the premier league" which means "From one place to another, haphazardly and to little purpose.."
I dunno, doesn't sound like you think he'd make it.
@shamans
Of course, the fact Ronaldo has done it everywhere is a big part of what makes him greater than Messi.
Having your mind changed is healthy. It is never good to be too stubborn. Like I said, I'll always prefer Messi but Ronaldo is more decisive and that is what matters in the end
No, he has never scored 40+ in the Premier league like you put it
I have a very slight preference for Messi too. Purely because I enjoy the way he plays more. I just like a player to have a bit more character. I'm not even sure Messi can actually speak.
Ronaldo on the other end is just a massive twat. That all consuming drive to succeed is what makes him a twat, but it's also what makes him great.
