If Ronaldo didn't play for Real or United with al the press/fans they have behind he wouldn't be in the discussion against Messi.If he were there wouldn't an endless debate about who is better. In truth, it is pretty subjective depending on which year and circumstance you're in.
Yes thats true, but I dont think it matters when judging the too. And to prevent confusion, by by far I didnt mean that the difference in the teams now is bigger than it used to be vice versa. Just that Real are by far better now imo, think their keeper, defence and full backs, midfield are better than Barcelona's.You said Messi used to have the better team mates yet Ronaldo now has by far the better team.
Clear distortion of events, the gap between Barca back then and Real is much much bigger than Real and Barca now.
Of cos including 09/10 would distort the figures in Messi's favor. Presumably you think players don't need anytime to adapt to a new leagueOne of the things Ronaldo supporters usually say is " the point of football is to score goals and Ronaldo does it better" then you realize that since 2009/10 messi has 420 goals in 416 appearances for Barcelona and Ronaldo has 395 in 387 games for Real Madrid and that trump card disappears.
If Messi didn't play for Barca, Ronaldo would have about 8 Ballon D'or.If Ronaldo didn't play for Real or United with al the press/fans they have behind he wouldn't be in the discussion against Messi.
May I remind you Messi was winning titles and finishing in the top 3 of the Ballon d'Or while Marca/As and Spanish tv's were comparing him with Robinho, Sneijder or Robben?
Based on?If Messi didn't play for Barca, Ronaldo would have about 8 Ballon D'or.
Ronaldo 362 in 352If Messi didn't play for Barca, Ronaldo would have about 8 Ballon D'or.
If Messi is having the better season then clearly Ronaldo is not the best player in the world, right?He is the best player in the world having a poor season.

Well this kind of disproves your point. Even after Ronaldo "adapted" (which he really didn't need to considering how bloody good he wasRonaldo 362 in 352
Messi 373 in 354
Since 10/11
It's a shame because people seem to think it's Ronaldo's stats that can sep him apart when really, they don't.Well this kind of disproves your point. Even after Ronaldo "adapted" (which he really didn't need to considering how bloody good he was) , Messi is still outscoring him despite being good at all the other stuff.
Lukaku is having a better season than Aguero, is he the better player?If Messi is having the better season then clearly Ronaldo is not the best player in the world, right?
Messi played 62 games in that one season?Ronaldo 362 in 352
Messi 373 in 354
Since 10/11
As I've already pointed out, even without checking there's clearly something wrong with those figuresWell this kind of disproves your point. Even after Ronaldo "adapted" (which he really didn't need to considering how bloody good he was) , Messi is still outscoring him despite being good at all the other stuff.
Messi has outscored and outplayed Ronaldo since the former moved to Liga. Even if goals are all that matter (which they don't imo), Messi still edges it. Messi isn't out playing or outscoring Ronaldo for a one off season. And irrespective of the past, if Messi is out performing Ronaldo, he's the best player in the world right?Lukaku is having a better season than Aguero, is he the better player?
Maybe the season they had CWC, I'm guessing.Messi played 62 games in that one season?
There's clearly something wrong with your stats
I don't even know what this means. Messi has been fantastic, and so has Ronaldo. There's no need to prove one is better than the other.If Ronaldo didn't play for Real or United with al the press/fans they have behind he wouldn't be in the discussion against Messi.
May I remind you Messi was winning titles and finishing in the top 3 of the Ballon d'Or while Marca/As and Spanish tv's were comparing him with Robinho, Sneijder or Robben?
It's only natural they'll be debated. They're the two greatest of our generation and of all time.I don't even know what this means. Messi has been fantastic, and so has Ronaldo. There's no need to prove one is better than the other.
Sorry my bad math it's 373 in 363Messi played 62 games in that one season?

No doubt, although I'm always amused by how sure some people are when they pontificate that one is better than the other.It's only natural they'll be debated. They're the two greatest of our generation and of all time.
No, because Agüero has won more trophies than Lukaku and has been superior more years. Same as Messi against RonaldoLukaku is having a better season than Aguero, is he the better player?
There's no need to debate if a Jaffa cake is a cake or a biscuit but people's always will hahaI don't even know what this means. Messi has been fantastic, and so has Ronaldo. There's no need to prove one is better than the other.

Maradona was better than Ronaldo.It's only natural they'll be debated. They're the two greatest of our generation and of all time.
So basically Ronaldo has a higher scoring rate either way? InterestingSorry my bad math it's 373 in 363
1'0284 per game vs 1'0275So basically Ronaldo has a higher scoring rate either way? Interesting
He was invisible in both finals, Messi is in the discussion of the best players ever, Cristiano is not better than Fat Ronaldo.He did win La Decima and the 11th. No?
Since they started it's 0,23 per match for Cristiano and 0,33 for Messi for both club and country.What's the assist stats like?
Who says Messi "has" to drop deeper?Brutal advantage, now imagine if Messi didn't had to drop 20 meters deeper to create plays or wanted to kick every pk instead of giving them to Suarez or Neymar

Feck me those stats. And Messi is more than 2 years younger.![]()
Are you sure about those figures?
It's like arguing over Mozart and Beethoven.I don't even know what this means. Messi has been fantastic, and so has Ronaldo. There's no need to prove one is better than the other.
With each of their fanboys 100% sure one is better than the other.It's like arguing over Mozart and Beethoven.
Odd statement considering Ronaldo relies purely on his physical attributes, Messi doesn't.But will he last longer?
Basically my way of thinking, both incredible players, but Messi just does things other players can't. His first goal today was unbelievable. Comparing stats is pointless because they're just about head to head and have always been, so we need to compare other aspects of their game and I think Messi just edges it.Love Ronaldo but he's no Messi
With each of their fanboys 100% sure one is better than the other.
