Probably the two best most influential players in world football at the moment. Both got tremendous scoring record for respective clubs. Would have Messi in my team before Ronaldo.
Thoughts on the two of them.
Well, I tell them there's no problem Only solutions
look at Ronaldo's scoring record since he arrived at Real , incredible to say the least .. Messi is a magical player , but has some of the worlds best midfielders around him .. so , for me , it's Eden Hazard .. :)
Messi is the complete midfielder for me , Ronaldo drifts in and out from what Ive seen of the both of them , which tbh is very limited and Ronaldo looks like a pikey lol.

I watched the game tonight and there could be no argument about their qualities. Its difficult to separate them but I think they're both slightly different types of players. Ronaldo seems to drift in and out of the game but Messi always seems to be involved. Agreed Messi has some great players around him but he is also a great play maker himself. He still hasn't manged to score past Chelsea in something like the last eight attempts though.
Messi all day long for me, he's able to control a game whereas Ronaldo will have eye catching flashes of brilliance which will inevitably hit the headlines. Quote from Scolari on Ronaldo: : "People don't like him because he's tall, handsome, shags all the girls - no, it's true -, he's a great player. The only bad thing in his life is Messi. If it wasn't for Messi, he would be the best in the world for 5 years in a row"
What always impresses me about Ronaldo is the fact he was able to integrate into a brand new team and deal with an £80m price tag. Messi has always had his home comforts around him.
