The Debate That Surface The Entire World Of Football That Has No Answer Up Till Now: Who Is The Best Between Messi And Ronaldo
The debate who is the best between Argentine and portuguese phenomenons has dominated the entire world of football for years now. Fans, analysts and players are still asking the same question up till now.
Football analysts, fans and players have been talking about the best between Messi and Ronaldo but I think most of them where being drawn by emotion and love they have for them. If I'm going to ask Barcelona fans this question, 90% of them will prefer Messi. If i ask Manchester United or Madrid the same question, majority of them going to say is Ronaldo.
An analyst was saying, He love the acrobat and jumping power of Ronaldo. That's alone have made the analyst chosen Ronaldo over Messi. One day I was watching the debate in supersport, an analyst showed were Messi dribbled five defenders in LA Liga and came up with conclusion that, 'Messi is the best'. The debate between Messi and Ronaldo sometimes based in individual perception, love and emotion.
LET'S LOOK AT SOME AREA BETWEEN MESSI AND RONALDO
Source
Scoring Ability: both of them have this ability both one is greater than others. Both have netted over 700 club goals in their career but Ronaldo has scored more club goals than Messi. Ronaldo scored 61 goals in 2014/2015, while Messi have not achieve that milestone that Ronaldo has set. Though, Messi scored 50 goals for 6 years between 2010-2016. In champions league records, Messi is behind Ronaldo. Ronaldo is all-time highest goal scorer; in 176 appearances, Ronaldo scored 134 goals while Messi scored 120 goals. Ronaldo consistency in champions league earned him a name, 'Mr Champions league'.

For portugal, Ronaldo appeared in 179 times, and scored 151 goals which makes him the greatest player ever in portugal, he also won Euro 2016 with his country. In Euro 2020, Ronaldo is the highest goal scorer, he also equalled Ali Daei's record which made him and Ali top international goal scorer of all-time. Messi played 109 matches for Argentina and scored 76 goals; Messi is also all-time goal scorer for his country.
Titles: Messi has edge over Ronaldo when talking about title. But none of them have won world Cup for their countries, this makes some fans said, "Maradona is the greatest for Argentina". Messi won 26 titles including 10 La Liga titles, 4 champions league, 1 Copa America. Ronaldo has won 21 titles including Fa cup, 7 league titles, 5 champions league and 1 European championship, and 1 UEFA Nations league.
Individual Awards: Messi beat Ronaldo in ballon D'or head-to-head, he has 6 Ballon D'or while Ronaldo has 5. Messi won European Golden shoe 6 times while portugal veteran won it 4 times. Ronaldo won UEFA player of the year 4 times while Barcelona talisman won 3. Messi won world Cup Golden ball once while Ronaldo has not. Messi won 6 league player of the year in LA Liga while Ronaldo won 4 in different leagues.
Skills: without doubt when comparing the most skillful player between the two GOATS, we should know that Ronaldo is far behind. Both have different styles of playing ball. Ronaldo can find the back of the net from 40 yards, as he did in 2009 which made him to win pukas award-winning goal. Ronaldo is one of the best player in the world when coming to winning ball in the air, 'Only God knows how he does it'. He has jumping power, he can leap in to the air, reached 8.3 feet. His accuracy both in leg and head is incomparable and spectacular. He has strength, finishing skill, long shot, and good in air.

Messi styles of soccer is different. He's one of the skillful player in the planet. Messi lacks of height makes him vulnerable in the air. He can demoralise the whole defense line which he has done several times. His powerful left-footed is magnetic, he's a master of ball controller; he's ball movement or footwork is very rare ; he has passing ability, goalscoring skills, accuracy, and vision. Messi is not a selfish player, he's a king of assist.
Not to be biased, to chose the best player will be a difficult tax for me because even the identical twins have different in behaviours and characters. I can't not say, Messi is the best because of the skills and other things neither Ronaldo is the best because of his goalscoring draught and other things. We don't expect Ronaldo to dribble like Messi, neither Messi to have long powerful shot like Ronaldo. We don't expect them to play the same style of football.
If you have points that you can use to backup your opinion about who is the best between Messi and Ronaldo, kindly drop it in comment section.
The truth us that both players are very good and i don't like choosing an option by selecting either Ronaldo or Messi
Just as you have enumerated some achievement by Ronaldo which Messi is yet to achieve are there and vice versa.
I don't like being bias. So for me both players are fantastic.
Even me too, both are GOATS

Ronaldo and messi are the two best footballers in the whole world with so much potentials and character in the game of football.the dabate for me does nt make any sense.The two legends are very good in what they do, and they play good football which makes the fans happy.
Actually this debate has been going on for years among the analysts, fans and players. Recently, one of the manchester united player was talking about the matter. So, i think the want to know the best between them
This argument or debate would be one that will last for a very long time has both players have done a lot of exploits in the game of football from shatteringly records to creating new ones.
It is also difficult for me to pick between the two as they are both extraordinary. Personally I am a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo but wouldn't pick him ahead has the Argentine and Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi have also done incredible things that no one can doubt his abilities.
Instead of saying one is better than the other I would say they are both football legends that would never be forgotten. Their achievement in the game of football will continue to remembered.
They have done incredible things that will make it very difficult for generations under them to come close. So while they are still on our screen, it's best to continue to enjoy what they bring to football.
You are right my friend, I personally, I'm Ronaldo fan but I can pick him as the best neithe Messi too. Both are football legends as you have said
