Ronaldinho vs messi?

[forevermancity]

Both in their prime, who was the best?

Different types of player, obviously.

I think Messi is quite possibly the best player I've ever seen, but also, I've never seen somebody dictate an entire game with the ball at his feet, better than Ronaldinho.

 

[Damocles]

Messi for me, by a bit of distance too.

this, not even close for me, ronaldhino was a great showman but messi has more influence on games

The scary thing is that Messi is still not at his prime!

People were saying that about Ronaldinho a few years ago...

But really, I agree with you. Frightening how good he is at this stage already.

Ronaldinho was world class for about 4 seasons.
Messi has already been world class for 4 seasons and is yet to hit his prime.

Both great players but at the moment i would still put
Zidane and Maradona above Messi and Ronaldinho.
Mainly because Z& M both did it in World Cups.
Still time yet for Messi.

I'd say that Ronaldinho had more than a slight influence on Brazil's campaign in 2002.

Messi is obviously the better player for me, but I'd pay more to watch a prime Ronaldinho. That doesn't really make sense, but still.

Wouldn't say Messi is in his prime at 23/24 but Messi is the best player I have ever seen.
