This is my status on Facebook at the moment pretty much. Completely agree with you mate.
Say all you want, Ronaldo is the best player in the world. Messi would be NOTHING without his Barca players.

Absolutly agree with you! I hate Messi fans who think he is so "humble" and therefore supports only him. CR7 is something special :wub: He can turn games around himself.
I don't care that Ronaldo isn't humble, tbh I like him even more because of his arrogance and at times he carries madrid.
I say it is a pointless debate because we all know Ronaldo is better than Messi. Here are a few things to prove it.
Ronaldo has been in better form this season. He has scored more goals and made more assists. This makes him the better player.
That isn't actually true. Ronaldo has scored 18 goals (5 penalties) and made 6 assists this season in all competitions. Messi has scored 23 goals (0 penalties but he has missed one) and made 11 assists this season in all competitions. They have both made 19 appearances.
It's not fair to judge them on this season. If you look back over the years, Ronaldo has always been more effective than Messi.
This also seems to be wrong. Ronaldo has scored 174 goals in 377 games. He has also made 74 assists. That is on average, a goal or an assist every 1.52 games. Messi has made 63 assists and scored 150 goals in 233 games. That is on average, a goal or an assist every 1.09 games.
Maybe at club level Messi is superior, but what has he ever done on the International stage?
Well, apart from scoring a magnificent solo goal to win Argentina their last match against bitter rivals Brazil, he has also scored against world champions Spain. That, and the fact he was nominated for player of the tournament at the last World Cup.
Yes, well it's all well and good that Messi has done more with Argentina than Ronaldo has with Portugal. I mean, Argentina are far better than Portugal anyway. Ronaldo is proven in England, that makes him better.
Not necessarily, actually. Zidane, Cruyff, Pele, Platini, Maradona - all of them have been amazing players yet never graced the English leagues with their brilliance. Does this mean Ronaldo is better than them?
Good point, but Messi is not built to succeed in England. Send Messi to Stoke, Bolton or Blackburn on a cold afternoon and he would do nothing. Ronaldo would rip them apart.
Ronaldo has only scored 1 goal in 9 visits to the Reebok, the Britannia or Ewood Park. Can Messi really do no better than that?
Fine, but what about Messi's record against English clubs. It is shocking. He can be marked out of games easily. Against Spanish teams, Ronaldo would score for fun.
Messi has actually scored 5 goals against English clubs in the Champions League. When playing for United, Ronaldo never scored against a Spanish club.
Messi can't really do it in big games, though. His record against Madrid must be poor. Barca on the other hand are weak defensively and Ronaldo would destroy them given the chance.
Messi has scored 7 goals and made 4 assists in 8 El Classicos. He is also the youngest ever player to score in an El Classico and is the only person to score a hat trick in an El Classico this century. Ronaldo has never scored in his 6 appearances against Barcelona.
It's not fair to judge the 2 players on last night's performances. It was just a 1 off game. Ronaldo has achieved more in his career.
Messi has won 13 major trophies compared to Ronaldo's 9. He has also won 13 major individual accolades compared to Ronaldo's 11. He has also won 48 individual awards compared to Ronaldo's 44.
Messi plays better because he plays for a better team. When Barca are on form, they are unstoppable, with or without Messi.
Don't you think there is a reason Messi plays for Barca, the best team in the world? It wouldn't have anything to do with him being the best, would it?
Obviously for those of you who aren't the sharpest, I am being sarcastic. Messi >>> Ronaldo.
Love how it's only United and Madrid fans jizzing over Ronaldo. I posted this a month or so back on the Ronaldo V Messi thread:

Wow, are people coming here to say that Messi is best because he donates 5 euros to the Charity?! XD
Well Ronaldo carries his teams, just look at barca team and you see that there are 3 ballon d'or nominated.
That tells you what kind of teammates he has. Ronaldo will always be the best and i dont like watching Messi because he does nothing new! It's boring.. RONALDO FOREVER!
End of it! Idc if Messi donates more to charity! Good nights!
Messi showed who was better in El Clasico.

Ye, i do it because they are rich? Well if you say so....talk about attitudes? Everyone who worked with Ronaldo have said that he is the first and last on th training ground. He is little arrogant yes. But so what?
How could Messi be arrogant? That guy was born sick with that hormone something sickness....Ronaldo is like a hollywood star too...i bet the arrogance comes from there.
Should Messi be arrogant... he is 169cm, (got some hormone treatment to even reach that), his face is fu**ed up. ........thats why he is not arrogant. Arrogance just doesn't fit him.
About effectivness...every1 knows that Messi shoots 99% of his shots from 1-3 meters of the goal. Ronaldo shoots longshots much more...thats why he misses much more. Every1 doesn't chip/pass the ball in the net.
Stay on his feet: Ye, Ronaldo dives sometimes..not as much anymore. Di maria is RM diver nowdays. Messi
is not a pure angel either, or have someone forgotten that he scored with his hand once?
Team player: I admit he is maybe more like a team player...i dont know if it is the case if he wouldn't have players like Iniesta and Xavi on his team.
