Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi

Wallahi.

Ronaldo is better than Messi in specific attacking areas such as headers, long-range shots (when he was younger), positioning in the penalty box and penalties.

Other than that, Messi gaps badly.

His influence on his team’s play is considerably greater, as he isn’t just a static target man in the penalty area or your average winger but arguably the best playmaker in history on top of (arguably) being the best goalscorer in history.

Ronaldo isnt better at positioning in PK box and penaltys, ronaldo has missed more crucial penaltys than messi and positioning inside PK box messi gaps its just messi doesnt do it often so it happens to feel like ronaldo is better
Long range shots also go to messi unless you mean really long range shots like 30-40M out

Messi is not the best playmaker. Hope that's a joke. Zidane and Xavi in their prime were on a whole other level.

But agreed about him being better overall than Ronaldo.

 

[Rurushu]

ronaldo has missed more crucial penaltys than messi

Messi’s penalty conversion rate is 77%

That’s as average as it gets

It doesn’t matter if Ronaldo missed a couple more important penalties because he’s taken significantly more of them and has significantly better conversion stat anyway.

and positioning inside PK box messi gaps its just messi doesnt do it often so it happens to feel like ronaldo is better

Now that i think about it a little bit more maybe you're right but i wanted to give Ronaldo at least something😗

Long range shots also go to messi unless you mean really long range shots like 30-40M out

Yeah

I'm talking about his insane long-range goals at MU and early Madrid.

Zidane doesn't even lace Xavi's boots in Playmaking and Messi long since surpassed Xavi by far in 2019 especially and onwards.


There's no whole other level from Messi even if someone was to be better than him, it would only be a slight difference because his gift and numbers speak for itself.

Are you like 12? No one who's seen Zidane play would say that.

Zidane and Xavi could control the entire battlefield. No 2 players could control a field of 22 players like those 2. Both teams would stand still when they had the ball.

Since this is a very broad question, I'll break it down into Rounds.

Round 1: Passing
Round 2: Dribling
Round 3: Shooting
Round 4: Gols
Round 5: Speed
Round 6: Skills
Round 7: Assists
Round 8: Game IQ
Round 9: Penalties
Round 10: Finishing
Round 11: Trophies

Personal Question: Who is the Best Overrall?​

R1-2: Messi
R3-4: CR7
R5-6: They have different kind of speed and skills, difficult to choose
R7-8: Messi
R9-10: CR7
R11: ?

PQ: The Best Overall - CR7

Kylian Mbappe is the ALL-TIME leading scorer in the history of the World Cups. Not Messi lmao.

What are you talking about? Isn’t he the main character of Kick?

Messi is the best playmaker and best footballer in the history.

Let's compare the stats of Zidane and Xavi and they don't even come close to Messi.

Only one player has a case to be compared with Messi and that's Pele. No one else.

 

[Reborn]

And, don't even compare Ronaldo with Messi. Messi is in different stratosphere than him.

whats that

It’s a parody of Slam Dunk I made up lol.

And Messsi overdid their jobs by himself in 2019 and onwards at a more consistent level than they ever could achieve.

He's literally the one guy with the ability to push playmaking beyond it's inherent limits because of how gifted he is on his feet by the threat he poses, the only person before him being Maradona himself.


Like i said, surpassing there was in fact someone better than him there's no such thing as a whole other level from this, at best slightly better because there's nobody more efficient than him.

Ronaldo before 2019 was superior in all respects to Messi.
