It is an impossible argument to have. You could argue about their respective teams and the players they play with, but truth is it hardly matters. Ronaldo plays with a team focused on making Ronaldo score, but with lesser players. Messi plays in a team that is so good everyone will be able to score. Which is easiest? I sure don't know. What I do know is that their statistics have been similar for ages now.
Their numbers are the same but if u analyse their whole 90 minute performances Messi will be miles ahead.
Ronaldo is a goal scorer a very good goal scorer. He always positions himself in the box to get on the end of things.
Messi starts most of Barca's attacks and finishes them. He will make an assist out of no where quite like Pirlo while also scoring crazy goals that no other player is capable of.
They are completely different players and have completely different styles.
If u were to watch every single goal both players have scored this year it won't even be close who was more impressive.
Ronaldo's gsme is all about goals for himself and nothing else. I personally think he is over rated.
He's not even Madrid's most important player, Modric is a huge lose for them.
He did nothing against Juve for 180 minutes other than goal hang for the first goal.
No way he can be mentioned in the same breathe as Messi.
