And other part of analyst say to compare you need stat, but here we would try to compare them with stats and without stats.
Lets get started
So starting with Portuguese superstar Cristianoooo Ronaldo, he has been simply the epitome for players to do hard work and he showed that work ethic pays off. He has been still on top of his play at the age of 35,all the great at his age had retired or played outside top five league.Now talking about his gameplay he has played at left, right wing and as a center forward he have excellent movement off the ball. He showed everyone how to make most out of his prime. When he was at Real Madrid he was simply a beast he scored 450 goals in just 438 matches his ratio is more than one goal per match, thats absolutely beast performance. He has played 1000 matches for the club and country. Out of which he has played 836 matches for club in which he netted 626 goals and he has scored 99 goals for portugal and is just 10 goal shy to be become the highest goalscorer in international leaving the Ali Daei behind.And I will also bring out the point in which critics target him for his selfish play and never assists for boosting his teammates moral. If stats are to be suggested he has assisted 215 times in club level which I dont think is less from any point of view, and has assisted 37 times for Portugal. He scores a goal in every 109 minutes in club matches.
Now talking about Messsiiii he has proved
"When talent dont work hard ,
Hard work beats talent"
His dribbling skill the way controls the ball and when he his dribbling it seems like there is something in shoes which is attracting the ball, he is so close to the ball while dribbling that it is difficult for defender to defend against him. Everybody says he had talent and he succeed but there are many players who were called The Next Big Thing because of Talent but at the end because of not working hard they were not able to make as big as Messi.
Messi dont post the pictures of his work out and people say he dont look after his fitness and he would retire early than Ronaldo's age.
But it is not really the case Barca Legend Carles Puyol said earlier this year Messi can plat until 38 the way he take cares of himself and can play at the top level.Stats of Messing is also as impressive as Ronaldo if not more, Messi had played 718 games for club in which he scored on 627 occasions and assisted 261 times. And many people accused Messi does not play as good as he plays for barcelona and say he cannot do it on his own, which I think is true he has played 138 matches for argentina and has scored 70 goals and assisted 45 times. His Goal per minute for barcelona is 93.So it would be fair to say that he score on every match that he plays.
Comparison
From the stats only anyone can say Messi is the best his goal per minute.(Messi 93 and Ronaldo 109) is less than Ronaldo. Messi has scored more goals than Ronaldo and assisted more than him at club level that too he has played 118 games less than Ronaldo .And in international level Ronaldo is little ahead.But Messi has scored more goal against the top ten FIFA ranking team.
Talking about individual glory both have enjoyed more than anyone. But among these two Messi has won the Ballon d or and Best fifa men player six times each and Ronaldo has won both these trophies five times. But Ronaldo gas won UEFA BEST PLAYER award thrice and MESSI and has won it twice, so the total is Messi 14 and Ronaldo 13. When talked about trophies they have won with their team at club level Messi has won 34 trophies with Barcelona and unfortunately he has won nothing with argentina till date except for Gold medal at Olympics. Ronaldo has won 29 trophies with club in Europe top league and has won Portuguese Cup once. Ronaldo has won twice with the Country Euro and Nations league.With the trophies also Messi wins the debate.But this was all the Statistics data which can change with time.
- Tomorrow when we would talk about them we are not going to remember who scored how much goals tomorrow we would just have memories to cherish and in these aspect Messi wins it for me. In a match you cant score 10-20 goals but you can create this much chances, dribbles and the things which people remember for long time. And messi does things people remember for long for instance the way he nutmegged Milner and Fernandinho against Manchester city was absolutely Brilliant he does such things week and week out.
And one more point in debate
"MESSI DONT TAKE CHALLENGES AS RONALDO"
So the answer to this is it easy to score 40+ goals in a same league for almost a decade against the teams which have seen you play so much I dont think so.
And Ronaldo has always played with the best team.Manchester united managed by Sir Alex Ferguson was one of the best team in the premier league era, Real Madrid are one the biggest European clubs, Juventus has been winning Serie A for eight consecutive season. Wherever he has gone he has played with the biggest team of that league, If he had moved to some mid table Team that would be some challenge. To play in the same league for so much is a challenge and changing the league at the age of 33 is also a challenge. Now I am going to use a sentence spoke by Zinedine Zidane in one of his press conference, "Winning the league for me is more prestigious than Champions league because for winning a league you need to perform consistently good".Messi and ronaldo were in the same league for nine season and Real madrid were able tto win the league just twice whereas Barcelona won six times in that nine years. For me Messi is the best.
And i will end this blog by Gerard Pique's answer to the question who is best
Ronaldo is the best of the humans and Messi is from another planet.
Ronaldo is the best of the humans and Messi is from another planet.
