Sorry Stu - I've got a bit of a man-crush on Messi - luckily, his current injury coinciding with the City's current 'galactica' performances are slowly weaning me off him. LOL, it'll probably be a Ryan Kent versus Adam Armstrong thread in 5 years time !!

What's Ronaldo expected to say!?
Personally prefer Ronaldo to Messi-most complete outfielder on the planet by some distance.

He's a cocky git alright but to be fair he probably is. He's one of the great's if not the greatest player of all time. His goal scoring record is phenomenal, especially for Real. Isn't he a handful of goals away from being their greatest ever goal scorer despite playing a few hundred games less than their current record goal scorer?

He's already beaten Raul's record. His goalscoring record at Real is ridiculous.
I do wonder if he'd be as prolific if he came back to the PL. He had an outstanding season the year before he left, would be good to see if he could cut it again.
Personally think that he'll go to PSG for a silly amount and a massive pay packet at the end of this season though.

So Messi, stats are better in every way. BUT Ronaldo doesn't play in the middle all the time, he's a winger so you wouldn't expect him to have anywhere near the amount of goals that he does.
With regards his cockyness, the bloke has worked harder than anyone else in world football to get where he is. Is it cockyness or fact that he's bloody awesome?

The biographer who wrote a new book on Ronaldo to coincide with a film coming out shortly says he is probably the greatest goalscorer of all time,but not the greatest ever player yet. Is he as good as Pele or Maradona or Messi ? Ronaldo says of himself yes he is and will be the best ever !

At their best, Messi is better. No one will convince me otherwise
The thing I think that is going to set Ronaldo apart is his dedication and determination, the way he keeps his body in shape I can see him playing at a world class standard at the highest level for the next 5 years to come where as I think Messi may slowly decline as his body ages.

I too think Messi just edges it but there's not a lot between them. Ronaldo is never shy when asked who is the best,but I've never heard Messi blowing his own trumpet have you ? But in all sports you have who is the best ever question ? I'm a boxing fan and I'd say because of his record Marciano was the best Heavyweight of all time,but many would say rubbish it was Ali.It's just an opinion and just like Messi and Ronaldo it'll always be split fifty fifty I guess.
