A ruthless foul from Payet saw him getting sidelined for the match in the finals of Euro Absent from the line of action, he stayed by the sideline encouraging the team. Messi is yet to open account, given how time is slipping out of hands, it is unlikely he will be able to do so. Ronaldo calls for challenges, while Messi runs away from it.

While Messi is the escapist who avoids venture into roads untraveled. Undoubtedly Messi is skillful. Messi just doesn't measure up.

Messi Maradona run, or Messi hand of god, or Maybe I can conjure up some for Ronaldo. Ronaldo's header against Roma, a Superman-like moment.

Ronaldo rising above the crowd to nod the ball home is quite the sight to behold.

It's a skill that Ronaldo started working on during his time at Manchester United. He was young and was evolving into one of the main goalscorers for the Red Devils. Ronald had to add more skills to his arsenal deliver on a regular basis. Messi on the other hand is only strong on the left foot.

Messi on the other hand is a great dribbler but he does not have the same pace as Ronaldo. Ronaldo is much better at Penalties than Messi. He is able to score those crucial penalties under pressure. Messi on the other hand seems to crumble under pressure and is not reliable when it comes to converting penalties.

Messi on the other hand has been seen taking retirements after facing embarrassing defeats. And then taking back those retirements. Cristiano Ronaldo is considered the greatest ever footballer for his country , Portugal.

After reading this article I got more information about CR7 against Messi. Thank you for article. Really thats that all they had to say. There are so many other reasons why cr7 is much much better than messi.

I agree When I check the same thing in google it shows Messi I'm a fan of CR7 so I would say that this article is perfect.. But to be honest both are having different abilities in football.. We can't judge them.. When you take a look l, please don't take only ucl. In the case of ucl also , messi has played less number of matches than CR7. Ronaldo has scored 20 more goals than messi in laliga and has played more than matches more than messi. You can expect messi to score those 20 goals in at least 40 matches.

There is no point arguing. Both are best in what they do and are the biggest nmes in world football. This is not concrete since CR7 played more games for his clubs as opposed to messi and ronaldo did not scored more assists than messi. When it comes to international stats messi played less than cr7. In this statistics it is alleged that messi has no international trophy. It is bogus as he won olympic games with his teammates and the best goalscorer in his country team.

Great goalscorer though. When messi is three years younger bruh you cant rlly say stuff if ronaldo started his career earlier than messi still has a foothold against ronaldo so just wait messi will overtake him or maybe he wont it's an opinionative thing. Yeah I agree with it.
