Basically, over 90% of those who say Cristiano is better, are his former teammates and managers only - because of bias. But 90% of the rest say Messi. Messi is clearly better and Gary Lineker's explanation is the best. Messi is the best at many things - dribbling, passing, playmaking, etc. And also scoring. Cristiano's is mainly just scoring.
@@lincelynx1869why is his mentality better than Messi? Ronaldo just broadcasts his life on social media more so we get to see his dedication up close. But Messi and even many others all put as much work in as him on and off the pitch.
@@m3ga975 Bcs playing in more leagues doesn't make you a better player. If that's the case, Ibra is one of the best players ever, Neuer is one of the worst goalkeepers ever and Maldini one of the worst defenders of all time. Messi has a better prime than CR7, a better peak, is better vs the biggest and strongest clubs of the modern era and was better when both played in the same league vs the same opponents. He proved himself in different roles and positions on the pitch, with different teammates and coaches. He proved himself vs different opponents and is way better than CR7 vs the prem big 6. And he proved that he can produce goat level numbers without prime Barca in 18/19 and had better stats than CR7 in his best season, although CR7 was at his peak and had a way better team, which also proves that CR7 depends more on a strong team. CR7 was never able to produce impressive numbers without prime Madrid. On top of that, stats, the eye-test and coaches say Messi is the best of his era. So if you look at the bigger picture, there is no valid argumentation for CR7.
Its funny, people who played or coached Ronaldo say Ronaldo was better, but everyone who is impartial, and never played with either one say its Messi, that says it all

Ronaldo's tally is over 10 behind Messi's. Even though Ronaldo played far more games during his career. Now you try to diminish Messi's accomplishment by typing " Grown into one of the best teams in the world" While completely dismissing that Ronaldo didn't played for forking spurs or some low - tier teams He played in one of the best Man utd teams ever that stood in the champions league final 3 times in 4 years . One year without Ronaldo.Then he played for arguably the greatest club of all time in the history of football.Then he played for another great club that won the league In the last 7 seasons before his arrival. And then he went to a mid Man United team. Messi started in Barcelona and talking about struggles he had to compete with the likes of Ronaldinho to even become a starter, while also suffering many injuries in his first 3 seasons at professional lvl .Then pep arrived and Barcelona became the best team in the world with messi in its centre However Barcelona has been declining since 2016 . And even though he was playing on a terrible side( comparable to man utd and Juventus) Messi did not disappoint. In 2018-19 which was arguably his prime year,he carried this team one game away from a treble. Only for his team to give away a 3-0 lead in the second leg of the UCL semis . Messi basically without a midfield,had to drop even deeper than before and while doing that he even managed and equal. Mins per goal - contributions than Ronaldo in his best season. He did this while scoring around 10 fewer penalties and while carrying an entire team on his back like no other player in modern football before him . ( Just a small side note,in Messi's second season at PSG ,he had a better mins- per goal contributions ratio than Ronaldo in all his Juventus seasons . He also didn't take a single penalty in that season for PSG . Ronaldo at Juventus scored around 30 penalty goals in 3 seasons) Trophies messi Awards messi Records messi In this comparison messi had 90 points Ronaldo had 45 points This was in depth analysis of both Messi and Ronaldo But in the end messi stands out top And he is now the undisputed goat 🐐 🇦🇷 🐐 🇦🇷 Messi ❤

@UndefeatedXD bro you literally gave me bunch of Ronaldo achievements Messi have more achievements, records and stats In which I gave the comparison those were based on true stats not yap
@UndefeatedXD bro why are u yapping about 2004- 2007. Also messi was playing in barca in 2021. Also he won best player in copa america. Also won laliga pichichi. Also lewa did not win UCL in 2021 . He won in 2020 . Bro where do u get these stats from . Nevermind keep yapping
You also forgot Madrid fans who are extremely delusional. As someone who started watching football seriously around the time they both started. I think it was actually closer early on around the time Ronaldo's last season in United + his first 2 season in Madrid. But he didn't win that much during that time. He had more skills pace at that point. But I think Messi grew more complete as a player while Ronaldo relied more on his finishing/aerial ability/positioning. Messi's vision, playmaking and freekick improved over time.
@@tamim3319 The reason he was 'better' up until his last 2 seasons at Madrid was because A. It was prior to his ACL, and B. He became a striker instead of a Left Wing, making him rely less in dribbling and more on positioning and finishing. He had no reason to improve his passing, playmaking or vision during that time, because he was already the Greatest Striker of All Time at that point. He just played a different game than Messi, that's all.
@Bobtheengineer-mo9re it accounts for his goal scoring numbers. He was always an amazing player far above even world class players. But when people started seeing soo many goals from someone whom they mistakenly believed was a winger they ended up thinking he was better than he really is. Position does make a huge difference and it's the reason messi scored 91 goals in one year. During that year he was the focus in the box, where most of the career he was just a playmaker who plays high up and has amazing ability to score as well as assist.
Messi is miles better than Ronaldo imo. The way messi kept getting better as he grew older is crazy. 09-12 is the greatest peak a player can ever have in football. Then in 14/15 , he dropped probably the most complete season as a Rw. That season truly defined how a modern day winger should play. Scoring, dribbling, creating chances. He then hit another peak 16-19 where I would say individually no player was better than him and he literally carried barca by topping all la liga attacking stats in that period. He controlled all the games. And just when you think he was declining, he hits an international peak with phenomenal copa america and world cup performances . His playmaking is also very underrated at psg. All in all , his career is best any footballer can ask for . Greatest of all time hands down
Exactly people that don't know football would say CR7 is better. i would compare maradonna prime vs prime with messi though and for me that is a true honest comparisson. i don't know where the comparrison with CR7 started his simply not in the same league as Messi
guys i don´t even know why there is even a debate for some people. look im gonna tell you the full truth here and i need ya´ll to look at it objectively. the truth is that ronaldo is not even the best portugese player ever, that titles still belongs to eusebio, just do your research about which team eusebio played for and look at the clubs history before and after his time there. and look up his mvp and top scorer awards in the only world cup he played in. he scored more in that single world cup than cristiano did in 5. messi have most mvp awards in international football history with 4 ( 2 wc and 2 copas ) no one else comes even close
Imagine a sport where a guy has more trophies, more achievements, better stats, and more head to head wins against his "rival". You'd think that it would be a no-brainier on who the better player is between the two of them, right? Well this is basically the Messi-Ronaldo debate, it's already clear and obvious who the goat is but somehow some fans still want to delude themselves that Ronaldo has a case as the goat.
@@jamesleroy8797 "No brainier" I think your inability to spell whilst calling others dumb perfectly encapsulates the level of stupidity in this comment section.
Messi is miles clear of Ronaldo. He has more g/a, trophies (international and club), and personal awards. Ronaldo fans always use ucl as argument when Messi played less games and won almost as many. It’s not even a debate Messi is way better. I fully agree with you.
Who cares about stats?! Did you not watch them play? Cause if you did, you'd see it. Every game. One of them was great, the other one was unbelievable.
If you need a player who can score goals, choose Cristiano Ronaldo. If you want a player who elevates the entire team's performance, choose Lionel Messi.
but messi can also score goals and do much more like control the tempo of a game and also take on 5-6 guys like they are not even there. So this is not even a choice for me
how many ucl messi has 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 how many goals 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 How many teams he achieved sucess 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 How many ballondors he earned ?? Without bias how many things he won in football...

@@Srinu_KK_2030 whenever CR fans have no real arguments, they use conspiracy theories like rigged ballon dOrs for which they have no proofs at all 🤣 But ok, I understand you, when you have no real arguments you have to lie. Is Ronaldo better dribbler than Messi? No. Is he better at passing than Messi? No. Is he better at finishing? No, they are similar there. Is he better at playmaking? No. He is only better at jumping and that has nothing to do with football knowledge. How then he can CR be the GOAT when Messi is better at every single football aspect. There was never a debate. CR is probably the greates goalscrorer but he is nowhere near the GOAT. And the argument that Messi didn't do it in the Premier League - Sterling was scoring 20 goals in that league 🤣🤣 that league would be a joke for Messi.
@@Srinu_KK_2030 Cristiano never reached a World Cup final never scored or assisted in knockout stages of World Cup never won an international golden ball in EURO or World Cup never won club treble never finished a league season as top assist provider
@@prashantrai4570 can’t? if they were the ones thinking they can’t they wouldn’t be who they are today and the idea of perfect is dumb to me because for example they both try to improve there free kick technique which some might call perfect but yet none scores them consistently.
Ronaldo is world class player no doubt in it. but in terms of skills, performance and game IQ Messi is incomparable. That what makes him the greatest. Its not even an opinion, there is something called "stat" to prove it. I dont know why its hard for some people ko acknowledge it.
You pick few attributes and say that makes him the greatest, A random ronny fan could pick few attributes he likes too and say that what makes Cr7 the greatest. Both fan bases aren't making proper arguments. M10 fan base bring up stats and ratio and say messi is better, when cr7 bring stats that favour ronaldo messi fans say Stats doesn't show everything that they should watch matches. y'all should argue properly
@@Africafolklore aren't skill, performance and game IQ the most valuable attributes in the game? If not then what is? physique, vertical jump, power shots?? sure they matter but is it more imp or valuable than skill, performance and game IQ?? Many CR7 fans fans bring stats like no. of heading goals, goals by strong foot, weak foot, pace, power, no. of UCL K/O goals in the debate. Stats that prove the effeciency, winning, contribution, is the actual point for debate and what tells the one individual is better than the other. Efficiency, Contribution, Vision, Dynamic, Accuracy, Wins, thats what the most impressive weapon is for the player to possess for dominating the game and stand out than other performance wise. Thats the reason majority coaches, players favor Messi as the best of the best. Now I think this is valid and logical point and it doesnt have anything to do with personal preferences.
There was never a debate. It was simply created by Madrid fan base and football marketing as business wise it is a good thing.... But the reality is there was never a debate
man u fan base are even worse they were the originals to hype him up. he was getting dealt with on some occasions but messi put the fear of god in the minds of the opposition even at 17

Who started the Messi and Ronaldo debate really? That person need to be arrested and jailed for life and should be forced to watch every Man united Match every weekend 😂😂😂😂😂
yeah we're all playing smartasses now that messi lifted the world cup but ronaldo had a pretty long period in his career where the GOAT status was actually leaning towards him (2016-2021)
Did he play as striker in 2008.he won everything that year.despite he were not even striker.he were a complete player at that time dribbling,crossing,pace,freekicks,weakfoot,headers,skills,showboating.he also create chance also.so how you only label him as goalscorer.😂😂
What debate?? This debate is the most forced discussion in the history of mankind and I'm not exaggerating.. The media and press created this to get headlines and storylines for years and boy they did get headlines.. Messi is the most unreal player that's ever graced football..The things he does, how he does them and the abnormality behind them are unnatural..His unworldly dribbling, playmaking skills, footballing IQ, balance, ball control, passing, awareness, decision making, and his unique finishing are in different sphere above anyone in history..How can you watch football, watch Messi and tell me there's a player in history close to him?? I just don't understand this ridiculous debate and doubts about Messi.. Maybe it's pride and arrø gance..It could be sentimental attachment others have for their favorite players.. Anyone who compares any player to Messi doesn't understand football..They don't know what they're talking about.. He's the greatest of all time by a planetary distance.. He's just unreal 🐐
I agree but can't deny that Cristiano is amazing too not close but yes amazing goalscorer his hardwork to improve and he did it to the max level to reach this point fantastic goalscorer and a great crosser too but Messi is unreal!

Ronaldo is just a guy with work ethics and good stats. Messi is those two and everything else.
I bet everytime there is a talk about this stupid debate, Ronaldo is so happy. because he knows, being compared with Messi is his biggest achievement in his life.
@@THEoneandonlystika They faced each other plenty of times ,the only thing that makes them comparable is the goal scoring beacuse when it comes to other aspects of the game the difference is clear. Deep down inside Ronaldo knows that Messi is far better than him.
One guy is better at everything football related. The other guy is just better looking. The debate was just a media hype and Real Madrid marketing of their favorite stat padder.
This debate was never a debate in the minds of people who really know football, I love and respect ronaldo immensely but he isn't in the same league as Messi, and only maradona and pre injury R9 can be mentioned in the same bracket
Imagine world class Iniesta winning the most amount of Golden Boots and Europe’s most lethal striker Lewandowski winning the most amount of playmaker awards……yeah you get Lionel Messi. Winning both is crazy enough, but the most in both category is just insane.
It has never Been a debate it was fueled by P.R of the clubs.. real madrid has a good P.R they can make an ordinary player best in media... just check how they were forcing Vini Jr to win the balon'dor ,while In same club jude Bellingham He won champion league, Euro finals, laliga, carried madrid last season... but the shuffle him under pillow like never existing thing

Thank you for mentioning that! CR7 gets glaze for doing 3000 situps a day, as part of his 'winner mentality'... like what has that got to do with football skills??
With all due respect to Ronaldo it was never a debate. Kudos to him for being able to compete with Messi all those years. He was levels above the rest of the players. Yet, Messi was at a higher level than him.
He was only competing in goals. Now you can compare all time messi with midfielders, dribblers, playmakers, goal scorers, chances creators, big chances creators, key passes players, duels win players, assist makers, he can also be compared with players midfield skills like xavi, Iniesta, modric, Kroos de bruyne and he even beats them in skills, atleast according to raw skills base levels and technical abilities messi can be compared to legends like Maradona, Zidane, Pele, garrincha, R9, Henry, cruyff, Ronaldinho etc. Messi is all rounder. CR7 is just compared with goal scorers 😂. Not really a competition except goals records 😂
@@NabirMohammed-l2u yeah he was competing in the goals department but Messi has him beat there too if you consider goals to game ratio. Just as you said Messi is like leading in all those departments too, I don't even know how they even made it a debate...it was all too clear from the beginning.
messi is there greatest player to ever touch a ball. as far as fancy skills go maradonna,ronadhinio were more advanced yes less effective. messi can control the tempo of the game. if he chooses to he can just sit back and pass and move the whole game and come alive when he wants. he mastered basic moves to unbelivable level, such as body feints whilst keeping the ball glued to his feet and scannign the space all at the same time. the ball is just stuck on his feet.
Even in the goal scoring apect of the game messi is better with a better goal to game ratio than ronaldo and will probably retire with more goals despite not playing in the center of attack mostly
Messi without a single goal is still in the GOAT conversation. CR7 without his goals is an excellent, but frustrating player. Nowhere near GOAT status. That's it.

All of it in prime EPL. 49 Games 42 goals 12 assists A literal MIDFIELDER. Messi 2012: Club WC Golden boot Ballon d'or 91 goals in a year is impressive, but since you said Ribery deserved the Ballon d'or cus of his trophies, Haaland deserved 2023 Ballon d'or, Milito deserved 2010 ballon d'or, Van dijk deserved 2019 ballon d'or.. I know my goat, but if you think Messi's the goat then that's fine.

Overall Ronaldo 2008 better than all of them. And yes 2013 wasn't his best season, however Ribery did nothing with individual awards he only won team trophies. And why would Messi be 2nd?

@UndefeatedXD You did all that to prove nothing. Messi has more Balon D'Ors, a WC, More assists, better goal conversion. Above all, Messi did more than score goals. He played many more positions. For a very large portion of CR7's career. He was just a top class poacher. You tried, little one. I commend your efforts. But you shouldn't have wasted your time with this nonsense. Especially when you know that if I started listing what Messi has done. It will be 10X longer than anything you wrote.
Let’s be real here…The debate has always only been about who is the better goalscorer. When it comes to being the better player it’s so obvious. I don’t get why people even argue about it. If you take away Messi’s goals then he’s still in the conversation for being the greatest playmaker and greatest dribbler of all time. However if you take away Ronaldo’s goals he’s just a good player within his generation.
Cristiano deserves immense respect. He is a generational player just like Van Basten, Di Stefano, Puskas etc But for those who know football- It was never a debate. Messi was always head and shoulders above. And in always, I mean always. Yes Cristiano got ballandors and best player awards over Messi sometimes. But those trophies have a huge weightage on trophies etc. If it was just based on an individual contribution to the game as an overall Player. Nobody could win it over Messi even in his worst seasons except PSG's first year or before 2008. And yes people may say Cristiano because of their biasness and may be they don't even follow football like most Cristiano fans. And if anyone has played football, they will always understand how Messi does things that is actually almost impossible to do, they neve saw it ever before, they tried it an a set up and still failed miserably, and the fact that Messi does it so perfectly that it looks very easy to a person who never played football. People who never played football thinks that Ronaldo chops are more tough than Messi's body feints. If you have played football, you will never in your life execute a body faint so devastating yet beautiful like Messi and you will see an 12 year old Cristiano fan doing Ronaldo chops It's not even close
@@Inquisitive_Nomad It's actually quite simple my friend. Messi can only perform in teams where for years the team is built around him (barca/Argentina way). Whereas, Ronaldo will perform at any team in the world and at any previous time period you put him on. Messi is not even the best player of his country, that's Maradona. You've to understand that football is a team game and Messi can't and won't perform if you put him in a random team today. Maradona, Zidane, Ronaldinho and CR7 are in a different league, cuz they'll perform and win games for you.
@@GalaxyA54-zq8giyou know why Cristiano seems like he always performs in every league? Because his only job is to score goals we're not expecting anything else. While messi is basically a playmaker, his job is to create a chance but we always expecting him to also score goals. The first season in psg when he did not score as many as he used to, people called him flop, but actually he is still a great playmaker.
I'm sorry but as a true football fan, It was never a debate between messi and ronaldo. The debate was created by all this english media. In reality messi is way better than every player in history. Ronaldo is very good player but you can't compare him to messi who can do everything and carry his team. Ronaldo is goalscorer but messi do way more in pitch.
I believe Messi is the greatest because he dribbles through the opposition right in on goal, time and time again, and he does it almost as casually as a 10 year old who's the best at his school, except Messi does it at the highest level - and some of the defenders Messi has made mugs of are among the greatest defenders ever. However... it is unfair to use Messi's Barça advantage against CR7. It isn't as simple as Messi vs Ronaldo, it's a team game, and for quite a number of years Barça were the best team.
If i dropped someone who has never watched football before to sit and watch ronaldo career and messi career they will always pick messi Dude has the perfect career
It’s purely Messi, and people who say Messi is purely talent and Ronaldo is hard work… Messi is pure talent and hard work together, it is sheer discipline because all talented players never work hard and just think their talent alone will do it. Messi, 93 goals in one calendar year, CL trophies, La Liga, Copa America, World Cup trophy, 8 Ballon d’or when in reality should have been 10 honestly. Ronaldo is an excellent player but Messi what he does he unexplained, even when he doesn’t assist he dribbles and sets up the pass that will let a player bag an assist. The way he dribbles Ronaldo can never ever dribble that way and Messi still dribbles at age 37! The GOAT is Messi. Even Pele said it, even Kobe Bryant said it, Ronaldinho, R9… etc. all the great players say it, the only players who say it’s Ronaldo it’s Madrid players and Manchester United, even Marcelo said it was Messi, meanwhile Ferdinand and Neville who are really nobodies compared to Zidane, Henry, Essien… even Ibrahimovic who he never praises anyone he said there should be a ballon d’or every year for Messi. There’s no debate in this TBH!
The debate between messi and cr7 never gonna end.because of those who don't want to admit,personally i like the way cr7 play(long shot,heading,and strong attitude),but when it come to MESSI 🤌 there is no word to describe him(pure majestic)the guy is able to break tactics of adverse from midfielder and go with the ball like 😘 and score a goal, if you are really football lover you can feel how MESSI IS GREAT 🐐
CR7 isn't a footballer, he is an example of where self belief can take you. Lionel messi is the better footballer but CR7 shows how every man should approach life and achieve their dreams. Love them both and thank you for the clasicos guys 💪
Only bias fan think it's even a debate Cr7 was huge during his peak MU days inescapable with advertising.. I thought soo too and he still is a peak human in physical form.. Untill I watch Messi 09.. Just other worldly
I respect Ronaldo but its not fair to compare him to Messi. A better comparison would be Cristiano vs R9, or Lewandowski or Suarez or Ibrahimovic. Messi is in a completely different league. He is up there with the geniuses like Pele or Maradona. For me Messi is THE best I've ever seen.
@satriabajahitam6444 it was buddy, I was just amused by dinho, CR's legacy must never be diminished, what the man has achieved, and continues to achieve is nothing short of incredible, he has transcended the imaginations of ordinary mortals, unfortunately, the talent differential between himself and his rival are unfavorable to him.
@@satriabajahitam6444 Madrid carried them all with it even Ronaldo had a great contribution but even with Ronaldo's talent without Madrid he wouldn't have that threepeat of vice versa
@ madrid never did the 3 times a row without ronaldo, so you mean barcelona never carried messi to get triple ucl? You mean xavi, iniesta, neymar, alves, suarez are weak player that cannot carry? You mean kroos, modric, benzema and bale better than them? Bias!
@@TebogoMashamaite-q3b its all about debate of footballer, not a talenter or a dribbler, dont be a bias, just because cristiano cant dribble like messi, there is no debate you fckdup
Since my childhood I’m supporting Real Madrid and I love Cristiano Ronaldo but Messi is better than him this should not be an argument i watch both of them with my two eyes Messi is best the fact is there 🐐🇦🇷
Messi is GOAT but I don't like people disrespecting Ronaldo's achievement even most of the old footballers feels like intentionally downplay Ronaldo's achievements
Messi is the GOAT! There's something that endears him to fans more than Ronaldo and that's the fact that he wins the eye test. The way he plays can't be entirely quantified by stats. 20 years after he's hanged his boots, the new generation gonna watch his highlights and wonder how a player can do the things he did whereas Ronaldo will only be remembered for his sharpshooting ability and amazing goals. Erling Haarland can do what he did. And I dare say, he can score more goals if he played for Madrid. That said, Messi will be seen as the greatest except some other player comes in and totally blows him out if the water.
The most complete player ever was Ronaldo 2008-2013 but go on. Messi's biggest achievement was 91 goals in a calender year with 0 Trophys@@PepTalkTillYouDrop
It Was Never A Debate… Because Their Both The GOATS 🐐 , They’ve Dominated The Pitch For YEARS , Messi Has The Playmaker Skills.. Ronaldo Just Is A Pure Goalscoring Player, Messi Has Argentina , Ronaldo Has Portugal.. , Messi Has Barca , Ronaldo Has Madrid , Respect Them , Hate Them , But Admire Them…
Oh please enough of this disney Get-together BS! ain't nobody gonna feel sensitive with Ronaldo..Messi is BETTER by a planetary distance.. Ronaldo is a fantastic player don't get me wrong but Messi is in a different sphere.. He's untouchable
Ronaldo always like to term messi as playmaker. Brother he is better at finishing and scoring than Ronaldo ever will be. Who has more free-kick and outside the box goals? Who has more golden boots? Who has more balon d'or
Come on man stop these Both goats gimmick already its just BS. I would get this mentality if the Debate was actually neck in neck but it isn't Messi is clearly the Better player Ronaldo is great but Messi is just on another level especially after the 2022 worldcup there shouldn't even be Debate.
People must understand wat messi does isnt new to ronaldo, guys ronaldo people saying about skills about passing but you guys ronaldo in Manchester there is nothing absolute nothing messi which is doing ronaldo hasn't done ronaldo has done all those things messi did passing,crazzy skills but all in all after ronaldo gets injuries the playmaking of ronaldo was end do you know wat all of them they are great on their own terms.
I'm probably biased as a barça fan, but during the Madrid treble in the UCL, I was amazed by what Cr7 was doing, every night in the ucl, insanely clutch. But when I saw Messi play, it wasn't about the goals or the assists, It was just Messi. I cannot explain it, it's Messi, you just have to watch the whole 90 min to understand it. And cr7 would win the ballon d'ors in that period and he should even have won the 2018 one, and the were deserved, but I never felt he was the best player in the world, he was the best on the best team. Messi in just different.
Simply it was never a debate Ronaldo is the peak of a player as well but he was always the greatest rival to the GOAT !! He gave him the toughest competition anyone ever could ..!!!
Messi never really cared if ronaldo became goat. He cared about his club and played for his club and country. Unlike selfish ronaldo who played for himself and attacking messi back on interviews multiple times saying he is better.
Messi was always the better Player. He got argentina to a wc final almost all by himself and wouldve won it if not for All the misses. He controls the game everytime he plays. After that he by himself carried barcelona to a ucl semi final,again only to be letdown by his teammates. Messi can carry teams,can ronaldo do that?he can score goals,but he isnt a playmaker like messi is. He cant control the game He has more goals because he has played 200+ matches more than messi. Messi still has more g/a,more golden boots,more ballon dor,and 2 wc golden balls😂what else does a player need?4 ucl titles to top it off.
He is the best but messi and ron fangirls have history of rewriting history. He did not get Argentina to the final himself. He was nothing special in the QF or SF. Garay, Di Maria and mascherano were magnificent that world cup. You cant mention misses as messi missed a sitter himself in the final.
Messi never carried teams. LOL.. What Messi did in k. O 14??? Defence carried that team. Messi carried whom??? In 19 it was United and Lyon, two teams Barca prolly beat without even Messi. In SF Messi did well but team was poor
Was this ever even an actual debate other than because of the pressure and opinions exerted by casuals who can't see beyond goal scoring records? The more you understand the game, the LARGER the gap between Messi (one of if not the single best player ever) and Cristiano (a historical player but markedly inferior to the 3 GOAT contenders) becomes.
There has never been a comparison between Messi and CR7. Messi is at least two levels higher than CR7. Only Pelé and Maradona can be compared to Messi, no one else.
As a small RUclipsr myself, it can be really frustrating putting all your heart & soul into a video and not getting views. But the key is to keep on going and never giving up! If you're a small creator reading this: I believe in you, you can do it!

I would dare to say Prime Messi is better than Prime Ronaldo. Both of them had different focus. But not denial, Messi had that different touch and on top of that the World Cup wraps it all.
The debate will never end regardless of that the fact is that its Messi , am neutral but everything points to him and when i say everything i mean everything , Cristiano has a couple of things on his side only if you ignore the context like over all goals (Goals per minute Messi beats him by a mile meaning Messi is a better goalscorer ). Both are the 2 best ever no one even comes close but naturally one is better than the other the only reason there was ever a debate is due to their career paths and the media and most importantly when it comes to Messi most average football fans will underrate his whole game by the nature of not understanding it completely , its like not laughing at a joke because it went over your head
You know it's Messi because for Ronaldo it's always his teammates/ex managers and Madrid fans. But for Messi it's fans of any team and most ex players who never played with him.
Thing is, when they were in the same league, Messi was scoring more. He was the one breaking the records. He also had the dribbling and the playmaking on top of that. Don't get me wrong, even you halved Cristiano's goals to before 30 and after 30, you'd get a top 10 goal scoring record for each. He was a good dribbler and underrated passer. However Messi is the best at or arguably the best ever at dribbling, passing, scoring and free kicks. Cristiano's set the bar for what's possible for humans with hard work and determination. He had a lot of God given talent but that little alien just had to be born in the same era as him😊
To make one thing clear; they did not push each other Cr7 was pushed by Messi, but Messi would still do what he did without Cr7 Messi would break records and not even know it. He just played
That ending by Ferdinand, perfect words for both Messi and CR7. Just enjoy them, who cares who does this or that better. They are both super players that's it. I love CR7 but I love Messi too.
You can only compare Ronaldo to Messi in terms of goals aside that Messi is better in all aspects of football (assists, chances creation, playmaking, dribbling, man of the matches etc)
I used to enjoy the debates but now Its just sad imo. They arent actually proving why Ronaldo is better than Messi but proving why he isnt better than Messi for instance, football is against them everything is rigged for Messi, Ronaldo didnt have good teammates and many more.
nowadays everything in football is flipped, people are so stup1d strikers are mocked for not doing everything outside their very job which is scoring everywhere you go you see all that crap about haaland or lewandowski that they don't dribble or don't create today if you're not messi you're no one
@MultipleFlames perhaps but Ronaldo is the more complete goalscorer. Hes scored every type of goal. 40 yards, bicycle kick, impossible headers, swerve free kick etc
@@tc98826more complete goalscorer is fair but thats where it ends. Messi is by far and beyond the better footballer, more complete attacker and more complete midfielder compared to Ronaldo, Ronaldo may be the more complete goalscorer in terms of types of goals but he isnt more effecient. Messi even clears Ronaldo for freekicks and took that away from him too
"There is a big difference in being just a great goalscorer and being the best player. For me as a player, Messi is better". 3 Times Ballon D'or winner Dutch Legend Johan Cruyff.
What a great video.👏👏 The bit at the end about just enjoying them is also true. But the point was certainly driven home too. It was never a debate to being with.🤷
why wouldn't it ever be a debate? there's plenty of stuff ronaldo leads messi in total goals, ucl goals, ucl titles, national team goals only player in history to win ucl, major national cup, and a ballon d'or in the same year, ucl 3peat... also, it's just a matter of who prefers what some prefer football IQ, vision, the ability to go past 5 opponents, passing, playmaking in general... while others prefer athleticism and completion, no weaker foot, header, (once) good dribbling, speed, versatility... as a messi guy, as long as it's logically and politely backed up, i don't mind people prefering ronaldo because the biggest issue isn't picking one over the other; the biggest issue is how you back it up and how you express it
Like you pointed out, what brought Ronaldo into the debate is the ucl, and that wasn't the case until the RM 3 ucl in a row. Nevertheless, people still understand that that doesn't start a debate because Messi is just better. And also in the ucl, Messi has a better G/A ratio, (having played less games), also with overall goals. Messi has more trophies, more Ballon D'or, more golden boots, more assist awards, better international career - if you look at those, it's really hard to debate. There's hardly any argument in favour of Ronaldo at this point.
@o.vincent1 same as messi's international career was non-existent all the way until 2021, it was his biggest stain in that debate even the copa america alone didn't fully change that, only the world cup did in fact, between 2016 and 2021 i felt like more people actually thought ronaldo was the greatest, that euro win was a massive dealbreaker back then he had a major national trophy, was tied on ballon d'ors until 2019 when he later added a nations league title with portugal anyway, was the ucl's top scorer already, had more ucl titles... there was hardly anything big backing messi back then except ballon d'ors he overturned it eventually, but while i agree it's not much of a discussion now, i don't agree that it was never one
@@snooty9349actually the difference internationally was because higuain didn’t do for Messi what Eder did for Ronaldo don’t forget Messi played a wc final in 2014 and he could have won now we can’t use the ucl cause realistically they went head to head twice in th ko stages Messi came out on top just like r9 and zidane at the World Cup r9 have more goals but zidane kicked him out twice from the wc
@@snooty9349Actually, I disagree with you. It's not about preferences. It's about which player is more effective on the pitch and if we just limit it to individual performance and ignore trophies, then there is no rational argumentation for CR7, since Messi is better in terms of the eye test, has better stats and almost all coaches say that Messi is the best of his era.
For me, Ronaldinho was my childhood hero. In terms of tricks, passing and ginga style football (like Pele), no one comes close, but Ronaldo and Messi are better as overall players.
It is never a debate!! Please stop comparing them! If you are comparing anyone with messi then you need to watch something else and not football. Gary said that only because he played and is friend with Ronaldo. Otherwise he is stupid as fuck if he actually means that!!
Owen put it the best.... Ny favorite player is Lampard... I like Messi, but he needs a system, for Cristiano, you don't need to set up the whole team for him, but most critically, you can ask kids to be CR7, the hard work, the drive, the absolute dedication, the laser focus, but with Messi, you're born with your gifts...
Cause you can't set a system around Ronaldo. All he does is score goals. Can't dribble after 2013, can't playmake, can't make line breaking passes. Messi doesn't need a system he is the system.
Dude, i think it's the other way around. if u take a look at ronaldo position, it's ronaldo who need a system, bcs he's more like a target man. i'm a madrid fan and of course i respect ronaldo, but i also respect messi, his dribbling is just out of this world, both great in different ways.
@@111R Messi goals is in less matches. And yet Ronaldo is supposed to be a goal scorer and Messi a passer. Ronaldo can't even create chances like Messi
Learn about goal to game ratio mate. And if that's your logic the best players in the world must be only forwards because they score more goals? Can't a defender, midfielder, goalkeeper be the best player in the world? That's just disrespecting them. Like showing them the middle finger. Goals win the matches yes, but it's not the forwards effort only. The whole team works towards scoring goals. The forward just happens to have the final touch before the ball goes in. If you notice its only noobs or ppl who don't understand football who say forwards are the best cos it excites them when a goal is scored. They don't know/understand the importance of the other positions.

lol.....seriously?.....you wasted all your time there and it means nothing ....The truth is CR7 will always be compared to Messi...... Messi will always be compared to Maradona and Pele ....big difference
So delusional😂😂😂 you say that like it was just Ronaldo like he didn’t have one of the best teams in football history on his side. You wanna know what has nothing to do with teams the Balon d’Or and Messi won four of those in a row
Why because Florentino bought those games. People complain about messi winning a WC with real penalties(except 1 irrelevant one) but forget the goals allowed in almost 2 meters offsides that madrid needed to beat bayern Munich. The multiple reds forgiven, the fake penalties.... Not to mention the fact that they give ronaldo credit for the final when he was the worst rated player on the match and only won thanks to Gareth bale. It's not even a dig on him, anyone can have an off day, but it just shows madrid also had a team, when barcelona did the contest wasn't even close remember barcelona 09...
Basically, over 90% of those who say Cristiano is better, are his former teammates and managers only - because of bias. But 90% of the rest say Messi. Messi is clearly better and Gary Lineker's explanation is the best. Messi is the best at many things - dribbling, passing, playmaking, etc. And also scoring. Cristiano's is mainly just scoring.
LIESSSS
@@pk_1cryyyy😂
Ronaldo has the best mentality in sports history in general imo
@@thewheelofafoxdo you know football better than the managers ?
@@lincelynx1869why is his mentality better than Messi? Ronaldo just broadcasts his life on social media more so we get to see his dedication up close. But Messi and even many others all put as much work in as him on and off the pitch.
CR7 is a legend and deserves the biggest respect, but everyone who is neutral and understands something about football knows that Messi is better.
Exactly. I do like Ronaldo more because of his dedication, but Messi is better.
how can Messi be better if he never proved himself in different leagues?
@@m3ga975 Bcs playing in more leagues doesn't make you a better player. If that's the case, Ibra is one of the best players ever, Neuer is one of the worst goalkeepers ever and Maldini one of the worst defenders of all time.
Messi has a better prime than CR7, a better peak, is better vs the biggest and strongest clubs of the modern era and was better when both played in the same league vs the same opponents. He proved himself in different roles and positions on the pitch, with different teammates and coaches. He proved himself vs different opponents and is way better than CR7 vs the prem big 6. And he proved that he can produce goat level numbers without prime Barca in 18/19 and had better stats than CR7 in his best season, although CR7 was at his peak and had a way better team, which also proves that CR7 depends more on a strong team. CR7 was never able to produce impressive numbers without prime Madrid. On top of that, stats, the eye-test and coaches say Messi is the best of his era. So if you look at the bigger picture, there is no valid argumentation for CR7.
@@m3ga975then why didn’t Penaldo win WC with Portugal OR UCL with Juventus?? 😂
@@m3ga975why does that matter, he destroyed every Europe team
Its funny, people who played or coached Ronaldo say Ronaldo was better, but everyone who is impartial, and never played with either one say its Messi, that says it all
the actual funny thing is the people that "suffer" Messi is saying he is the best... nobody else says that about ronaldo.....
Notice how 90% of people that pick Rondo are his ex teamates, or managers 😂😂. That speaks in itself
could be bias, or could be witnessing his routine everyday
probably a mix of both

Speaking of UCL
Messi beat Ronaldo in the UCL final (2009)- a feat Ronaldo never achieved
Who had better prime:-
( Not even a question, Messi had the best prime ever in football history)
91 goals in a calendar year 🗿
Messi is the only player who got the most perfect performances (159) for your reference Ronaldo only got 38
Messi became the first player in football history to win the (sextuple) six trophies in a calendar year with his club in the 2009-2010 season
Messi got 2 times 10/10 match rating in final
Messi in 2019 carried his nearly dead Barcelona team to the semi finals of the UCL and almost won the treble ( in that same season messi not only won the European golden boot but also the playmaker award something no one has ever achieved)
Also, there are many more other groundbreaking records that you can fact- check from the internet
Team Achievements/ Titles
Messi is the only player who has won the most titles of all time. Ronaldo's tally is over 10 behind Messi's. Even though Ronaldo played far more games during his career. Now you try to diminish Messi's accomplishment by typing
" Grown into one of the best teams in the world"
While completely dismissing that Ronaldo didn't played for forking spurs or some low - tier teams
He played in one of the best Man utd teams ever that stood in the champions league final 3 times in 4 years . One year without Ronaldo.Then he played for arguably the greatest club of all time in the history of football.Then he played for another great club that won the league In the last 7 seasons before his arrival. And then he went to a mid Man United team.
Messi started in Barcelona and talking about struggles he had to compete with the likes of Ronaldinho to even become a starter, while also suffering many injuries in his first 3 seasons at professional lvl .Then pep arrived and Barcelona became the best team in the world with messi in its centre However Barcelona has been declining since 2016 . And even though he was playing on a terrible side( comparable to man utd and Juventus) Messi did not disappoint.
In 2018-19 which was arguably his prime year,he carried this team one game away from a treble. Only for his team to give away a 3-0 lead in the second leg of the UCL semis . Messi basically without a midfield,had to drop even deeper than before and while doing that he even managed and equal. Mins per goal - contributions than Ronaldo in his best season. He did this while scoring around 10 fewer penalties and while carrying an entire team on his back like no other player in modern football before him .
( Just a small side note,in Messi's second season at PSG ,he had a better mins- per goal contributions ratio than Ronaldo in all his Juventus seasons . He also didn't take a single penalty in that season for PSG . Ronaldo at Juventus scored around 30 penalty goals in 3 seasons)

@UndefeatedXD bro you literally gave me bunch of Ronaldo achievements Messi have more achievements, records and stats
In which I gave the comparison those were based on true stats not yap
@UndefeatedXD bro why are u yapping about 2004- 2007. Also messi was playing in barca in 2021. Also he won best player in copa america. Also won laliga pichichi. Also lewa did not win UCL in 2021 . He won in 2020 . Bro where do u get these stats from . Nevermind keep yapping
@UndefeatedXDglobe soccer poop. Nah you started with headers as well. You poop in my book. Not even worth talking to
@@muhammedirfan484 Messi is simply too GOATED
only people who said Ronaldo were managers that have managed him and players that have played with him lol
You also forgot Madrid fans who are extremely delusional. As someone who started watching football seriously around the time they both started. I think it was actually closer early on around the time Ronaldo's last season in United + his first 2 season in Madrid. But he didn't win that much during that time. He had more skills pace at that point. But I think Messi grew more complete as a player while Ronaldo relied more on his finishing/aerial ability/positioning. Messi's vision, playmaking and freekick improved over time.
@@tamim3319 The reason he was 'better' up until his last 2 seasons at Madrid was because A. It was prior to his ACL, and B. He became a striker instead of a Left Wing, making him rely less in dribbling and more on positioning and finishing. He had no reason to improve his passing, playmaking or vision during that time, because he was already the Greatest Striker of All Time at that point. He just played a different game than Messi, that's all.
@@crock3251 this doesnt prove anything.
@@Bobtheengineer-mo9re your comment is stupid:
@Bobtheengineer-mo9re it accounts for his goal scoring numbers. He was always an amazing player far above even world class players. But when people started seeing soo many goals from someone whom they mistakenly believed was a winger they ended up thinking he was better than he really is. Position does make a huge difference and it's the reason messi scored 91 goals in one year. During that year he was the focus in the box, where most of the career he was just a playmaker who plays high up and has amazing ability to score as well as assist.
Messi is miles better than Ronaldo imo. The way messi kept getting better as he grew older is crazy. 09-12 is the greatest peak a player can ever have in football.
Then in 14/15 , he dropped probably the most complete season as a Rw. That season truly defined how a modern day winger should play. Scoring, dribbling, creating chances.
He then hit another peak 16-19 where I would say individually no player was better than him and he literally carried barca by topping all la liga attacking stats in that period. He controlled all the games.
And just when you think he was declining, he hits an international peak with phenomenal copa america and world cup performances . His playmaking is also very underrated at psg. All in all , his career is best any footballer can ask for . Greatest of all time hands down
Exactly people that don't know football would say CR7 is better. i would compare maradonna prime vs prime with messi though and for me that is a true honest comparisson. i don't know where the comparrison with CR7 started his simply not in the same league as Messi
@@AR-q8z Messi and cr7 are miles ahead of Maradona
guys i don´t even know why there is even a debate for some people. look im gonna tell you the full truth here and i need ya´ll to look at it objectively. the truth is that ronaldo is not even the best portugese player ever, that titles still belongs to eusebio, just do your research about which team eusebio played for and look at the clubs history before and after his time there. and look up his mvp and top scorer awards in the only world cup he played in. he scored more in that single world cup than cristiano did in 5. messi have most mvp awards in international football history with 4 ( 2 wc and 2 copas ) no one else comes even close

Imagine a sport where a guy has more trophies, more achievements, better stats, and more head to head wins against his "rival". You'd think that it would be a no-brainier on who the better player is between the two of them, right? Well this is basically the Messi-Ronaldo debate, it's already clear and obvious who the goat is but somehow some fans still want to delude themselves that Ronaldo has a case as the goat.
@@jamesleroy8797 "No brainier"
I think your inability to spell whilst calling others dumb perfectly encapsulates the level of stupidity in this comment section.
Messi is miles clear of Ronaldo. He has more g/a, trophies (international and club), and personal awards. Ronaldo fans always use ucl as argument when Messi played less games and won almost as many. It’s not even a debate Messi is way better. I fully agree with you.
Who cares about stats?! Did you not watch them play? Cause if you did, you'd see it. Every game. One of them was great, the other one was unbelievable.
No... messi was unbelievable. The other one just scored goals@@SanxBile
@@TrustMeMore And he was great at it.
If you need a player who can score goals, choose Cristiano Ronaldo.
If you want a player who elevates the entire team's performance, choose Lionel Messi.
Elevate as well as score insane amount of goals
yet Lionel has a higher GPG
but messi can also score goals and do much more like control the tempo of a game and also take on 5-6 guys like they are not even there. So this is not even a choice for me
If u want elevate football choose Cruyff
Goals win you matches

Is he better at passing than Messi? No.
Is he better at finishing? No, they are similar there.
Is he better at playmaking? No.
He is only better at jumping and that has nothing to do with football knowledge. How then he can CR be the GOAT when Messi is better at every single football aspect. There was never a debate. CR is probably the greates goalscrorer but he is nowhere near the GOAT.
And the argument that Messi didn't do it in the Premier League - Sterling was scoring 20 goals in that league 🤣🤣 that league would be a joke for Messi.

Both are great athletes ❤

Oh and merry Christmas to you bro god bless you and your family
@@ICE-tv4dm why do you wanna argue ..just skip my comment
Ronaldo is world class player no doubt in it. but in terms of skills, performance and game IQ Messi is incomparable. That what makes him the greatest. Its not even an opinion, there is something called "stat" to prove it. I dont know why its hard for some people ko acknowledge it.
You pick few attributes and say that makes him the greatest, A random ronny fan could pick few attributes he likes too and say that what makes Cr7 the greatest. Both fan bases aren't making proper arguments. M10 fan base bring up stats and ratio and say messi is better, when cr7 bring stats that favour ronaldo messi fans say Stats doesn't show everything that they should watch matches. y'all should argue properly
forget the stat the eye test messi easily passes
In 2012 messi scored 91 goals but ronaldo scored 63 (if I remember properly) and ronaldo had 100 more attempts
@@Africafolklore aren't skill, performance and game IQ the most valuable attributes in the game? If not then what is? physique, vertical jump, power shots?? sure they matter but is it more imp or valuable than skill, performance and game IQ?? Many CR7 fans fans bring stats like no. of heading goals, goals by strong foot, weak foot, pace, power, no. of UCL K/O goals in the debate. Stats that prove the effeciency, winning, contribution, is the actual point for debate and what tells the one individual is better than the other. Efficiency, Contribution, Vision, Dynamic, Accuracy, Wins, thats what the most impressive weapon is for the player to possess for dominating the game and stand out than other performance wise. Thats the reason majority coaches, players favor Messi as the best of the best. Now I think this is valid and logical point and it doesnt have anything to do with personal preferences.
It's hard for some people because they are fans (fanatics) 😂

There was never such a debate
What debate?? This debate is the most forced discussion in the history of mankind and I'm not exaggerating.. The media and press created this to get headlines and storylines for years and boy they did get headlines..
Messi is the most unreal player that's ever graced football..The things he does, how he does them and the abnormality behind them are unnatural..His unworldly dribbling, playmaking skills, footballing IQ, balance, ball control, passing, awareness, decision making, and his unique finishing are in different sphere above anyone in history..How can you watch football, watch Messi and tell me there's a player in history close to him?? I just don't understand this ridiculous debate and doubts about Messi.. Maybe it's pride and arrø gance..It could be sentimental attachment others have for their favorite players..

Thank you for mentioning that! CR7 gets glaze for doing 3000 situps a day, as part of his 'winner mentality'... like what has that got to do with football skills??
With all due respect to Ronaldo it was never a debate. Kudos to him for being able to compete with Messi all those years. He was levels above the rest of the players. Yet, Messi was at a higher level than him.
He was only competing in goals. Now you can compare all time messi with midfielders, dribblers, playmakers, goal scorers, chances creators, big chances creators, key passes players, duels win players, assist makers, he can also be compared with players midfield skills like xavi, Iniesta, modric, Kroos de bruyne and he even beats them in skills, atleast according to raw skills base levels and technical abilities messi can be compared to legends like Maradona, Zidane, Pele, garrincha, R9, Henry, cruyff, Ronaldinho etc. Messi is all rounder.

@@emmanueldavid5820 I know the reason why they are compared. I wrote a whole list why are these 2 being compared
messi is there greatest player to ever touch a ball. as far as fancy skills go maradonna,ronadhinio were more advanced yes less effective. messi can control the tempo of the game. if he chooses to he can just sit back and pass and move the whole game and come alive when he wants. he mastered basic moves to unbelivable level, such as body feints whilst keeping the ball glued to his feet and scannign the space all at the same time. the ball is just stuck on his feet.
I have supported RM since CR7 joined in 2009 - yes, a bit of meatriding. However, the comparison is a complete joke,,,, Messi is way better.
Even in the goal scoring apect of the game messi is better with a better goal to game ratio than ronaldo and will probably retire with more goals despite not playing in the center of attack mostly
Ok Gary why did he lose against Messi in his prime in the UCL final
Messi without a single goal is still in the GOAT conversation.
CR7 without his goals is an excellent, but frustrating player. Nowhere near GOAT status.

RONALDO SIMPLY THE GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
@UndefeatedXD You did all that to prove nothing. Messi has more Balon D'Ors, a WC, More assists, better goal conversion. Above all, Messi did more than score goals. He played many more positions. For a very large portion of CR7's career. He was just a top class poacher.
You tried, little one. I commend your efforts. But you shouldn't have wasted your time with this nonsense. Especially when you know that if I started listing what Messi has done. It will be 10X longer than anything you wrote.
@@kh7688 bro you havent even read it the way you said "messi has more ballon dors" 🤓
@@kh7688 Tapinpessi does robs 4 ballon dor and gets carried by fifa president 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@EpicKingKong Anything about Tap ins and penalties aimed at Messi are foolish.
Let’s be real here…The debate has always only been about who is the better goalscorer. When it comes to being the better player it’s so obvious. I don’t get why people even argue about it. If you take away Messi’s goals then he’s still in the conversation for being the greatest playmaker and greatest dribbler of all time. However if you take away Ronaldo’s goals he’s just a good player within his generation.
Cristiano deserves immense respect. He is a generational player just like Van Basten, Di Stefano, Puskas etc
But for those who know football- It was never a debate. Messi was always head and shoulders above. And in always, I mean always. Yes Cristiano got ballandors and best player awards over Messi sometimes. But those trophies have a huge weightage on trophies etc. If it was just based on an individual contribution to the game as an overall Player. Nobody could win it over Messi even in his worst seasons except PSG's first year or before 2008.
And yes people may say Cristiano because of their biasness and may be they don't even follow football like most Cristiano fans.
And if anyone has played football, they will always understand how Messi does things that is actually almost impossible to do, they neve saw it ever before, they tried it an a set up and still failed miserably, and the fact that Messi does it so perfectly that it looks very easy to a person who never played football.
People who never played football thinks that Ronaldo chops are more tough than Messi's body feints.
If you have played football, you will never in your life execute a body faint so devastating yet beautiful like Messi and you will see an 12 year old Cristiano fan doing Ronaldo chops
It's not even close
@@Inquisitive_Nomad It's actually quite simple my friend. Messi can only perform in teams where for years the team is built around him (barca/Argentina way). Whereas, Ronaldo will perform at any team in the world and at any previous time period you put him on. Messi is not even the best player of his country, that's Maradona. You've to understand that football is a team game and Messi can't and won't perform if you put him in a random team today. Maradona, Zidane, Ronaldinho and CR7 are in a different league, cuz they'll perform and win games for you.
@@GalaxyA54-zq8giexactly
@@GalaxyA54-zq8giyou know why Cristiano seems like he always performs in every league? Because his only job is to score goals we're not expecting anything else. While messi is basically a playmaker, his job is to create a chance but we always expecting him to also score goals. The first season in psg when he did not score as many as he used to, people called him flop, but actually he is still a great playmaker.
I'm sorry but as a true football fan, It was never a debate between messi and ronaldo. The debate was created by all this english media. In reality messi is way better than every player in history. Ronaldo is very good player but you can't compare him to messi who can do everything and carry his team. Ronaldo is goalscorer but messi do way more in pitch.
Messi was able to achieve what Ronaldo achieved in 4 European clubs in only 2. Ronaldo hasn't matched what Messi has achieved in national levels
Lmao, no. He never won a UCL in two different teams. Not to mention that Messi mostly stayed his whole life in Barcelona
I believe Messi is the greatest because he dribbles through the opposition right in on goal, time and time again, and he does it almost as casually as a 10 year old who's the best at his school, except Messi does it at the highest level - and some of the defenders Messi has made mugs of are among the greatest defenders ever.
However... it is unfair to use Messi's Barça advantage against CR7. It isn't as simple as Messi vs Ronaldo, it's a team game, and for quite a number of years Barça were the best team.

It’s purely Messi, and people who say Messi is purely talent and Ronaldo is hard work… Messi is pure talent and hard work together, it is sheer discipline because all talented players never work hard and just think their talent alone will do it. Messi, 93 goals in one calendar year, CL trophies, La Liga, Copa America, World Cup trophy, 8 Ballon d’or when in reality should have been 10 honestly. Ronaldo is an excellent player but Messi what he does he unexplained, even when he doesn’t assist he dribbles and sets up the pass that will let a player bag an assist. The way he dribbles Ronaldo can never ever dribble that way and Messi still dribbles at age 37! The GOAT is Messi. Even Pele said it, even Kobe Bryant said it, Ronaldinho, R9… etc. all the great players say it, the only players who say it’s Ronaldo it’s Madrid players and Manchester United, even Marcelo said it was Messi, meanwhile Ferdinand and Neville who are really nobodies compared to Zidane, Henry, Essien… even Ibrahimovic who he never praises anyone he said there should be a ballon d’or every year for Messi.
There’s no debate in this TBH!
The debate between messi and cr7 never gonna end.because of those who don't want to admit,personally i like the way cr7 play(long shot,heading,and strong attitude),but when it come to MESSI 🤌 there is no word to describe him(pure majestic)the guy is able to break tactics of adverse from midfielder and go with the ball like 😘 and score a goal, if you are really football lover you can feel how MESSI IS GREAT 🐐
No it will end eventually, after 2022 the debate lost its power massively
CR7 isn't a footballer, he is an example of where self belief can take you. Lionel messi is the better footballer but CR7 shows how every man should approach life and achieve their dreams. Love them both and thank you for the clasicos guys 💪
Only bias fan think it's even a debate
Cr7 was huge during his peak MU days inescapable with advertising.. I thought soo too and he still is a peak human in physical form.. Untill I watch Messi 09.. Just other worldly
I don't see any debate . Messi is miles ahead of ronaldo
I respect Ronaldo but its not fair to compare him to Messi. A better comparison would be Cristiano vs R9, or Lewandowski or Suarez or Ibrahimovic. Messi is in a completely different league. He is up there with the geniuses like Pele or Maradona. For me Messi is THE best I've ever seen.
R9 better than messi
I was thinking what the fuck debate messsi always clear 😂
I actually thought it was a debate, until dinho commented, it was never a debate indeed.
Cristiano win the ucl and euro in the same year, winning 3 ucl a row in the messi era. Is it not a debate when messi never did that?
@satriabajahitam6444 it was buddy, I was just amused by dinho, CR's legacy must never be diminished, what the man has achieved, and continues to achieve is nothing short of incredible, he has transcended the imaginations of ordinary mortals, unfortunately, the talent differential between himself and his rival are unfavorable to him.
@@satriabajahitam6444 Madrid carried them all with it even Ronaldo had a great contribution but even with Ronaldo's talent without Madrid he wouldn't have that threepeat of vice versa

Messi is GOAT but I don't like people disrespecting Ronaldo's achievement even most of the old footballers feels like intentionally downplay Ronaldo's achievements
It's not about disrespect it's about Ronaldo himself saying the best player to ever played the game
Messi is the GOAT! There's something that endears him to fans more than Ronaldo and that's the fact that he wins the eye test. The way he plays can't be entirely quantified by stats.
20 years after he's hanged his boots, the new generation gonna watch his highlights and wonder how a player can do the things he did whereas Ronaldo will only be remembered for his sharpshooting ability and amazing goals. Erling Haarland can do what he did. And I dare say, he can score more goals if he played for Madrid.
That said, Messi will be seen as the greatest except some other player comes in and totally blows him out if the water.

@@gozillaedits Is he wrong?
I'm probably biased as a barça fan, but during the Madrid treble in the UCL, I was amazed by what Cr7 was doing, every night in the ucl, insanely clutch. But when I saw Messi play, it wasn't about the goals or the assists, It was just Messi. I cannot explain it, it's Messi, you just have to watch the whole 90 min to understand it. And cr7 would win the ballon d'ors in that period and he should even have won the 2018 one, and the were deserved, but I never felt he was the best player in the world, he was the best on the best team. Messi in just different.
i don’t think your bias
Simply it was never a debate Ronaldo is the peak of a player as well but he was always the greatest rival to the GOAT !! He gave him the toughest competition anyone ever could ..!!!
Messi never really cared if ronaldo became goat. He cared about his club and played for his club and country. Unlike selfish ronaldo who played for himself and attacking messi back on interviews multiple times saying he is better.
He also said messi was the best player he played against too dumb😂😂@@NabirMohammed-l2u

Messi was always the better Player. He got argentina to a wc final almost all by himself and wouldve won it if not for All the misses. He controls the game everytime he plays. After that he by himself carried barcelona to a ucl semi final,again only to be letdown by his teammates. Messi can carry teams,can ronaldo do that?he can score goals,but he isnt a playmaker like messi is. He cant control the game
He has more goals because he has played 200+ matches more than messi. Messi still has more g/a,more golden boots,more ballon dor,and 2 wc golden balls😂what else does a player need?4 ucl titles to top it off.
He is the best but messi and ron fangirls have history of rewriting history. He did not get Argentina to the final himself. He was nothing special in the QF or SF. Garay, Di Maria and mascherano were magnificent that world cup. You cant mention misses as messi missed a sitter himself in the final.

Was this ever even an actual debate other than because of the pressure and opinions exerted by casuals who can't see beyond goal scoring records? The more you understand the game, the LARGER the gap between Messi (one of if not the single best player ever) and Cristiano (a historical player but markedly inferior to the 3 GOAT contenders) becomes.
There has never been a comparison between Messi and CR7.
Messi is at least two levels higher than CR7.
Only Pelé and Maradona can be compared to Messi, no one else.

@@captainfalconmain6576 its 2025 not 2000
The debate will never end regardless of that the fact is that its Messi , am neutral but everything points to him and when i say everything i mean everything , Cristiano has a couple of things on his side only if you ignore the context like over all goals (Goals per minute Messi beats him by a mile meaning Messi is a better goalscorer ). Both are the 2 best ever no one even comes close but naturally one is better than the other the only reason there was ever a debate is due to their career paths and the media and most importantly when it comes to Messi most average football fans will underrate his whole game by the nature of not understanding it completely , its like not laughing at a joke because it went over your head
You know it's Messi because for Ronaldo it's always his teammates/ex managers and Madrid fans. But for Messi it's fans of any team and most ex players who never played with him.
Thing is, when they were in the same league, Messi was scoring more. He was the one breaking the records. He also had the dribbling and the playmaking on top of that. Don't get me wrong, even you halved Cristiano's goals to before 30 and after 30, you'd get a top 10 goal scoring record for each. He was a good dribbler and underrated passer. However Messi is the best at or arguably the best ever at dribbling, passing, scoring and free kicks. Cristiano's set the bar for what's possible for humans with hard work and determination. He had a lot of God given talent but that little alien just had to be born in the same era as him😊
Neville said it is Ronaldo.. so it must be Messi 🤣
To make one thing clear; they did not push each other
Cr7 was pushed by Messi, but Messi would still do what he did without Cr7
Messi would break records and not even know it. He just played

You can only compare Ronaldo to Messi in terms of goals aside that Messi is better in all aspects of football (assists, chances creation, playmaking, dribbling, man of the matches etc)
I used to enjoy the debates but now Its just sad imo. They arent actually proving why Ronaldo is better than Messi but proving why he isnt better than Messi for instance, football is against them everything is rigged for Messi, Ronaldo didnt have good teammates and many more.
Ronaldo has always had excuses fir not winning
That's one thing that's very funny to me, I noticed Messi fans debate with facts, whilst Ronaldo fans always bring up narratives and feelings
nowadays everything in football is flipped, people are so stup1d
strikers are mocked for not doing everything outside their very job which is scoring
everywhere you go you see all that crap about haaland or lewandowski that they don't dribble or don't create
today if you're not messi you're no one
Ronaldo is the greatest goalscorer ever. Messi is the greatest player.

What a great video.👏👏 The bit at the end about just enjoying them is also true.
But the point was certainly driven home too. It was never a debate to being with.🤷
why wouldn't it ever be a debate? there's plenty of stuff ronaldo leads messi in
total goals, ucl goals, ucl titles, national team goals
only player in history to win ucl, major national cup, and a ballon d'or in the same year, ucl 3peat...
also, it's just a matter of who prefers what
some prefer football IQ, vision, the ability to go past 5 opponents, passing, playmaking in general... while others prefer athleticism and completion, no weaker foot, header, (once) good dribbling, speed, versatility...
as a messi guy, as long as it's logically and politely backed up, i don't mind people prefering ronaldo
because the biggest issue isn't picking one over the other; the biggest issue is how you back it up and how you express it
Like you pointed out, what brought Ronaldo into the debate is the ucl, and that wasn't the case until the RM 3 ucl in a row.
Nevertheless, people still understand that that doesn't start a debate because Messi is just better. And also in the ucl, Messi has a better G/A ratio, (having played less games), also with overall goals. Messi has more trophies, more Ballon D'or, more golden boots, more assist awards, better international career - if you look at those, it's really hard to debate. There's hardly any argument in favour of Ronaldo at this point.
@o.vincent1 same as messi's international career was non-existent all the way until 2021, it was his biggest stain in that debate
even the copa america alone didn't fully change that, only the world cup did
in fact, between 2016 and 2021 i felt like more people actually thought ronaldo was the greatest, that euro win was a massive dealbreaker back then
he had a major national trophy, was tied on ballon d'ors until 2019 when he later added a nations league title with portugal anyway, was the ucl's top scorer already, had more ucl titles... there was hardly anything big backing messi back then except ballon d'ors
he overturned it eventually, but while i agree it's not much of a discussion now, i don't agree that it was never one
@@snooty9349actually the difference internationally was because higuain didn’t do for Messi what Eder did for Ronaldo don’t forget Messi played a wc final in 2014 and he could have won now we can’t use the ucl cause realistically they went head to head twice in th ko stages Messi came out on top just like r9 and zidane at the World Cup r9 have more goals but zidane kicked him out twice from the wc
@Voicenote-n messi missed a great chance in that final himself, i never really liked all that blaming the loss on higuain
@@snooty9349Actually, I disagree with you. It's not about preferences. It's about which player is more effective on the pitch and if we just limit it to individual performance and ignore trophies, then there is no rational argumentation for CR7, since Messi is better in terms of the eye test, has better stats and almost all coaches say that Messi is the best of his era.
It's very simple to explain why and how Messi is better than CR7...But to say cr7 is better than Messi..broo u got a hell of explaination to give..,
Messi Above all
Majority of the former players , managers and actual players say that messi is the GOAT.
For me, Ronaldinho was my childhood hero. In terms of tricks, passing and ginga style football (like Pele), no one comes close, but Ronaldo and Messi are better as overall players.

I like Messi, but he needs a system, for Cristiano, you don't need to set up the whole team for him, but most critically, you can ask kids to be CR7, the hard work, the drive, the absolute dedication, the laser focus, but with Messi, you're born with your gifts...
You don't need to setup a system for cristiano but for Messi?!?! 😂
Cause you can't set a system around Ronaldo. All he does is score goals. Can't dribble after 2013, can't playmake, can't make line breaking passes. Messi doesn't need a system he is the system.
Dude, i think it's the other way around. if u take a look at ronaldo position, it's ronaldo who need a system, bcs he's more like a target man. i'm a madrid fan and of course i respect ronaldo, but i also respect messi, his dribbling is just out of this world, both great in different ways.

Learn about goal to game ratio mate.
And if that's your logic the best players in the world must be only forwards because they score more goals?
Can't a defender, midfielder, goalkeeper be the best player in the world? That's just disrespecting them. Like showing them the middle finger.
Goals win the matches yes, but it's not the forwards effort only. The whole team works towards scoring goals. The forward just happens to have the final touch before the ball goes in.
If you notice its only noobs or ppl who don't understand football who say forwards are the best cos it excites them when a goal is scored. They don't know/understand the importance of the other positions.

Why is prime CR7 better than Prime Messi?
Messi fansRonaldo shouldn't have won ballon d'or 2013 Ribery won more trophies than him the only thing CR7 did was score goals.
Ok then..
Ronaldo 2008:
Ballon d'or
UCL
UEFA supercup
UEFA men's best player
FIFA men's best player
PFA young player of the year
PFA player of the year
EPL golden boot
Golden boot
EPL race award
EPL POTY
UCL MOTM
Club WC
World footballer of the year
Community shield
EPL league title.
All of it in prime EPL.
49 Games
42 goals
12 assists
A literal MIDFIELDER.
Messi 2012:
Club WC
Golden boot
Ballon d'or
91 goals in a year is impressive, but since you said Ribery deserved the Ballon d'or cus of his trophies, Haaland deserved 2023 Ballon d'or, Milito deserved 2010 ballon d'or, Van dijk deserved 2019 ballon d'or..
I know my goat, but if you think Messi's the goat then that's fine.
Now let's check Messi 2009 since 2012 isn't his real prime:
Copa del Rey
Supercopa
La Liga
Club WC
UCL
UEFA Supercup
Ballon d'or
World Soccer POTY
FIFA world best player of the year
La Liga Pichichi(if i remember correctly).
UCL MOTM
Tell me if I missed anything!
Messi prime 2015? Let's check if it better than CR7's:
La Liga title
UCL
Copa del Rey
Golden boot
La Liga Pichichi
Ballon d'or.
FIFA men's best player
UEFA men's best player(I think)
UCL MOTM
UCL top scorer(I think)?
Tell me if I missed anything!
It's good, but still less than CR7.
2019?
La Liga title
Ballon d'or
FIFA men's best player
La Liga Pichichi
"Carried Barca" Ronaldo carried Portugal yet he gets 0 recognition for Portugal's 2 trophies.
Overall Ronaldo 2008 better than all of them. And yes 2013 wasn't his best season, however Ribery did nothing with individual awards he only won team trophies. And why would Messi be 2nd? Besides,even if he robbed 2013, Messi and Ronaldo would have the same amount of ballon dors.

RONALDO SIMPLY THE GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
lol.....seriously?.....you wasted all your time there and it means nothing ....The truth is CR7 will always be compared to Messi...... Messi will always be compared to Maradona and Pele ....big difference
Where the hell mentallity, Body, Speed come in debate😂?
@@arielfortes472 you messi fans are scared to admit cr7 is the goat
@@arielfortes472 pessi the one who got carried by refs and robs 4 ballon dors
This comment just proves that most of you CR7 fanboys know nothing about football, lol
Now just imagine an alternate universe where Messi and Ronaldo played for the same club for 15 years and the same national team 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
It was over for me when CR7 won, 3 UCL's in a row.
We don't give two fucks about what's for you cuz were tryna be objective here and objective points towards messi
So delusional😂😂😂 you say that like it was just Ronaldo like he didn’t have one of the best teams in football history on his side. You wanna know what has nothing to do with teams the Balon d’Or and Messi won four of those in a row
True
Why because Florentino bought those games. People complain about messi winning a WC with real penalties(except 1 irrelevant one) but forget the goals allowed in almost 2 meters offsides that madrid needed to beat bayern Munich. The multiple reds forgiven, the fake penalties.... Not to mention the fact that they give ronaldo credit for the final when he was the worst rated player on the match and only won thanks to Gareth bale. It's not even a dig on him, anyone can have an off day, but it just shows madrid also had a team, when barcelona did the contest wasn't even close remember barcelona 09...
Haters! Eat your Hearts Out.
