In a word, yes. But they are players with very different abilities. The way I see it is:
Messi - As we only have yet to see him in a Barcelona shirt, it is naive to think that he is only a 'team player' whereby he only plays well if the team do. Very gifted technically, glides past players with agility and balance while offering brilliant passing movements on and off the ball.
Ronaldo - Stark difference in that he is most certainly an individual player. A complete all round player and much more so than Messi as he can Head, Shoot from distance, Take corners/free kicks/penalties etc. Great technically although he doesnt dance around players to Messi's extent and uses power and pace instead.
If it was a decision between them both, it would be Ronaldo. Complete all round player from my perspective and although may woman and dive etc.. Slightly edges.
