Comparing the two is like comparing a Beetle (Ronaldo) to a top of the range Porsche (Messi). Both are designed by Ferdinand Porsche, they look relatively similar in concept but they definitely are not the same where it matters. Ronaldo scores goals I agree but there is a poise about Messi, style, he strokes the ball when Ronaldo fights with the ball. Messi has grace, Ronaldo doesn't.

If you think the two are comparable then you don't know football.

Well, he deserves it. I think he is better than everyone else we have ever seen. It is unfortunate for Ronaldo and Iniesta to be in the same generation as him. They are also good players, but they will remain number 2 and 3 when he is still around.

every player's dream is to play for either barca or madrid.sir alex is regarded as the greatest coach and has only coach man utd.why must MESSI go and prove himself at other leagues,because when he meets the very same teams in UCL he demolishes them.ronaldo's destination has always been madrid hence he had to move from different clubs(gaining experience) to become what he is.while MESSI has been at BARCA from his youth days and that should tell you somehting,with regards to his potential.

@NNT61

I think u both have a strong debate and have vilid points but let me ask u a question. Who is best between Morinho and Ferguson and why? Why did Figo say to David Berckam at his prime, ''he will never win the world player of the year until he leaves Man United and face different challenges in Europe''? Why did Barca Management not have faith in their previous coach and people in spain ask him to coach a different team in order for him to prove his worth? Why is Messi statue in Argentina low as compared to Spain? In Argentina they don't believe in him as his performance is always below par until recently when he scored a hatrick?

If u read all these questions in context to yo debate, you will realise that to be the best means you have to withstand challenges from all spheres meaning u must perform to yo best in the champions league, once u have achieved yo goals in 1 team, u must set new goals for yoself in a different team, u must envy to play with certain players u like and join them in their teams, u must aspire to win different titles is different leagues life Luis Figo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho etc. To me Lessi will forever be the best in the world but my opinion is that HE DOESN'T HAVE CHARACTER. HE'S AFRAID OF CHALLENGES. HES AFRAID TO EXPLORE. HE DOESN'T PERFORM FOR ARGENTINA. HE WON'T MAKE IT ACROSS OTHER COUNTRIES. FINISH AND KLAAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nah, i will like to disagree here, Messi is good as a forward in Barca colours while Ronaldo is more of a complete player in that he is good as a mid, as a winger and as a forward,his effects can be felt all over the pitch while Messi is just good in the last 3rd of the field. People in argentina are saying he is not number one, so who r we to disagree, Ronaldo is good playing for country, was good in all his previose teams, while Messie came into a well structured Barca that has great midfielders, David Villa is also as good as the Barca midfield, without that strong midfield i dont see this twoo doing that great

We are not player hating we r just merely stating the facts here. When u look at football comprehensively or in totality u have to look at all contributing factors. Why did Steve Lekoela feel home sick in Europe? Why did George Lekgetho excel in freezing conditions in Russia? Why does Morinho travel with certain players wherever he goes? Messi will brake records due to him been relaxed and comfortable at Barca. Let him go to Italy and the tackels will be flying there. He disappointed Maradona big time during his tenure as coach even though he won't admit it. These are all contributing factors to a football players life.

Okay heres a very simple question. Are u comfortable and earn enough where u r working now? Or R u unhappy? What is yo next step? Do u want to MOVE to another company or will you stay where u not happy? Answer this and me and u will be drinking beer together, buddy.

Paolo Maldini, Paul scholes , ryan giggs, frank lampard steven gerrard are all considerd the best but they have all either played for one team or in the country they started ther football, they never left their teams why should messi do that. at 1st people said he cant score with his head he did that then they said he cant score with his right foot he did that and then they said he cant perform with his national team he scored 15 goal in the last 9 games with the national team now you want him to move to a different county.

with due respect to all the above comments, i would like to challenge here. mourinho is regarded as one of the best coaches at the moment cause he won leagues with 4 different teams from different countries, and being one of the few who won the UCL with two different teams, my question is, How did he win those leagues??? i will explain, FC Porto is the power house of the Portuguese league, no doubt about that. When he went to chelsea, he bought all kind of star players, among them ballack, drogba and essien, not forgetting shevchenko(though he was bought by the owner), at Inter, he had the best squad too, sneidjer, lucio, maicon, and now at madrid, there is no need to mention the players coz we know them. Based on that, can we still say Mourinho is the best??? And why did he leave Porto and Inter immediately after winning the European Cup??? He lacked the balls to encourage the same players, the same is happening now, which star player left Madrid at the beginning of the season? Non, so why are they 16 points behind the same Barcelona of last season??? am not saying he is not good, but lets look at other things with both eyes open...

@ndivhuwo2, i agree with u mukomana, francesco totti never left Roma, Zanetti never left Inter, and they are playing now, and they are the best... so iniesta, xavi and messi must leave barca so that they can get recognized??? hell no, they are faithful to barca, unlike figo...

Guys are you gonna call me a Maths Guru if I stayed in grade 8 for years and got distictions in my results? For me to prove my worth I believe I have to move up the ladder, and if I still get the same results only then I can be considered good at what I'm doing. That's what Christiano Ronaldo has done. He has been tried and tested at all levels and he managed to excel. Not the same can be said about Messie. Take away from Messie Xavi/Iniesta and the shine is gone. Ronaldo can play alongside ANY player and he will still shine.

I wouldn't agree with you on this one. I don't think La Liga is the best league by far, judging from the fact that it's all about TWO teams. From the very 1st game of the league we all know the title is either Madrid's or Barca's. So I wouldn't say he will be lowering his standards by moving to a more competitive platform like English/Bundes/Serie A (where high flying tackles are an order of the day). And we know the diving squad in Barca do struggle to shine in such environment
