No, Ronaldo is just too lucky, no special talent in his footballing skill....he can't dribble, can't do leg-over, can't skip, etc but can run....he is just lucky that after his teammates finishes t the Bible said, the race is not for the swift nor the wise, but of God who showeth mercy....grace is all we need to succeed in life

God is also favoring Cristiano because he is so kind and generous; all his childhood friends are feeding and balling with his wealth...he takes care of them and many more unlike Messi and other stingy people who don't know that God blessed them to bless people around them....God loves kind and generous people but hates prideful, pompous and wicked people, even if they prosper, their success doesn't last like kind/generous people, be kind to your friends and family from today if God has blessed usmiley

I agree with some of the things you said. But downplaying Ronaldo's hardwork is outrageous. All the players you mentioned are by no means better than Ronaldo. Robben ?

Messi is the highest goal scorer in the league this year. He also scored 1goal less of Ronaldo's tally in the UCL but remember Barca were out in the quarter-finals. Ronaldo was only able to match Messi's goals in the final and surpassed by just one. I honestly believe Messi is a better player.

Mexico09:
In as much I am Barcelona fan I think Cr7 is a great goal scorer while Messi is a great dribbler.
And this Madrid team coupled with their coach is wey better than Barcelona's this season.

You may have a point BUT Messi and Ronaldo are not as good as Ronaldo the Phenomenon and Maradona.

Reference:


But the Messi you call played against Juventus TWICE but could not score...nowhere to be found....I think all these comparisons between two of the greatest players of our time is an exercise in futility. Time and chance happens to both.

Madrid also played Barca and Ronaldo was invisible all through the 90 mins despite scroing Bayern twice in the midweek( offside goals tho). Messi scored twice and also the winning goal

Messi of course dismantled real Madrid while CR7 was no where to be found. Juventus wasn't an opposition that could trouble Madrid so my brother no even compare both guys because Messi is the best amongst the two guys cool

The same Juventus that bundled out Barca in the quarter final?

That means Barca is no match for Madrid.

CR7 is a more complete player than Messi.

Lesson: Talent without hard work fades easily.

Ronaldo may not be as talented as mercy but hardwork has gotten him to where he is now.

Up Manchester United

Can you tell me where Ronaldo was when Messi won 8 la liga trophies in the past 10 years. Messi is the highest goal scorer in all competition this season with 57 goals. Ronaldo is good no doubt but Madrid team has been exceptionally good in the last 2 seasons and all thanks to Luis Enrique who bought the wrong set of players like andre Gomes, denis Suarez, digne n co to make the team weaker. Luis Enrique is weak technically if not that Barcelona has a good team they wouldn't have won any thing. He lost la liga for them this season because of his stupid tactics. How can a coach bench rakitic for andre Gomes to be on the field.

I am not a fan of Messi bt truth has to be told and it is: "Messi is a mire talented player than Ronaldo because he makes football so easy that u think he is from a different planet,and moreover Ronaldo saw Messi as a rival and had to work extra-hard to arrive and be on the same level with him.

I don't think Messi works as hard as Ronaldo to achieve all he does because it's innate.. And Messi appears to slowing down while Ronaldo is now firing on all cylinders and with no signs of slowing down soon.
56 goals in 52 games and he is slowing down. Bro football is cyclical. Madrid just happen to have a better team than barca this season. Notin more

that's funny.. so u saying ronaldo is not talented? its his constant training that made him what he is?... if you play ball, u would understand that there are some things that are very special and peculiar to some players. no matter the training, a goat cant bark
.you dig.?.. go and download ronaldo clips right from his first pro club and u wud realize the bundle of talent in him do same for messi as well...

Ronaldo is a great player no doubt and I like his consistency which was as a result of his hard work while Messi is a god and his is innate. Messi does not need much of hard work before he proves himself as the best. only if he has the kinda team mates Ronaldo has presently, Ronaldo won't be able to match him at all

You saidjuventus wasnt an opposition that could trouble Madrid but the same Juve sent Barcelona parking in the quarter finals of UCL.

cr7 and messi are great players but whoever gets the job done as at when required is a better player at that point in time.

you mean if Madrid had a better team for the last 10yrs, Rinaldo would have won more league titles than messi ?? cos people always say mess I doesn't need to be surrounded by fantastic players, he is a team on his own.... the fact is barca had a formidable team for a very long time and that really helped messi

I av always avoided the mrssi/ronaldo comparison, simply choosing to believe we are lucky to see them play. But at the end, one simply has to agree, Messi is a wizard, words cannot describe his talent But Ronaldo 's quest and obsession to be the best is what makes him a better player. He might not mesmerize his was past defenders or coming deep to influence play like messi but his persistence, hard work, and competitive streak is what sets him above his rival. CR7 keep proving ur doubters wrong.
