Because Ronaldo is a diva. His self-aggrandizing behaviour and ridiculous petulance can be quite disgusting to witness.
Messi is much more unassuming and far less about self-promotion. He comes across as less narcissistic and egocentric.
Or so I believe is the reason. I don't hate Ronaldo. He goes a little over the top with his behaviour at times, but that's just the nature of a lot of people at the very top of a sport.

Because Ronaldo has some sort of personality/public persona, so there is something for people to dislike.
Messi doesn't seem to have a personality.
And it's also because, for a number of years, Barca have been portrayed as the goodies and Real as the baddies.
More broadly, it amazes me that so much time is still devoted to Messi v Ronaldo arguments.
They were never very interesting to start with and there has been nothing new to add to them for about five years now.

wouldn't want to play against
Regarding the Boating / Messi discussion
I want to stand up for Jerome and allah knows how hard it is for me to defend Bayern scums. Generally speaking defenders have a truly ungrateful job. For 89 minutes you can do a perfect job, fail in one situation and nobody will ever remember the good things you've done throughout the game. Attacking players can play awful for 89 minutes, have one bright moment and nobody will remember your terrible 89 minutes because you scored. Moreover I feel like Pep is an inconvincible turdface who wouldn't set up a defender-friendly gameplan to save his or his club's life. Pep lost the game.Why was there so much space between Pep's lines when Rakitic passed the ball to Messi e.g.? Boateng looked very poor in that particular situation, you can't take it away. But all in all let's not make him a worse defender than he is.
