You can call it opinion, you can call it subjective but I'm calling it utter shite if you claim Ronaldo is better than Messi. No singular stat supports that, Nada, unless you include the who can jump higher stat. Messi is being under appreciated, he is quite simply the greatest player of all time. What other forward could drop into midfield and dictate the pace of the game, make pinpoint cross field passes, pin point throughballs, rack up the most assists and still score 50+ in a season ( 91 in one season ) This dude is insane. Ronaldo scores goals, a prolific goal scorer. Johan Cruyff said it best.
"I've always liked technical players because I've been a bit like that. Cristiano is a great player, but he's just a goalscorer. Cristiano will never be the player who can create or take care team that his team plays well. He is just a finisher."
"Messi is much more a team player than Cristiano is. He scores but also produces many assists. For me as a player, Messi is better. There is a big difference in being just a great goalscorer and being the best player. Messi deserves Ballon d'Or, no discussion."
"Every person that understands football knows this. It's absolutely ridiculous to me that some people actually think Messi isn't the best."
"This isn't about Cristiano at all. He's a fantastic player, one of the best goalscorers ever. This is about how ridiculously good Messi is."
