How funnys is it that football people not involved with Barça compare Messi to the greats?

Correction - People only at Madrid AND Manchester (the Red lot) compare Ronaldo to the greats =P FOR THIS SEASON (In all competitions) Messi - 33 apps, 40 goals Ronaldo - 35 apps, 34 goals The FACTS don't lie

*scratches head* People who work at Madrid are gonna compare Cristiano to the greats because he is one of the greats on Real Madrid and that's who they are working for, you're going to support your own and become biased.

you really need to stop riding Messis nuts man all your questions are either about Messi or Real man talk about something else lol.

Messi is one of the best players in the world still but he is comparable to Ronaldo. Especially since he lacks in areas such as free-kicks, penalties, power/strength and speed. Messi is the best dribbler in the world but everything else is either the same as Ronaldo or worse. Since they are both comparable to each other then I would compare both of them to the greats. This is coming from a person who supports neither Barcelona or Real Madrid (or Man Utd/Argentina/Portugal). This season will be Messi's best ever season, he never have a better season in terms of goals after this. You heard it first from here...

Messi is brilliant..... and a better player than Ronaldo.... I don't think that that can be argued against, unless you are an Iker-nob but the reason they're compared is because they are considered the TWO best players.... lmfao @ Iker-nob... so ridiculously partisan.....

C.Ronaldo v. Messi is done, Messi needs a more worthy opponent to face him, such as Mesut Ozil or somebody else.

messi vs cristiano hmmm do u all people think that this two are only the great players? i think most of u guys only watch EPL and of course SPL. In spanish league i think most of u all just watch real madrid or barca game. what about italian football? Eto who just won the FIFA player title.Isn't he the great player? what i think is individual skill is necessary in the game but a single person can't win the game. this all great players are called great because the team in which they are playing are filled with great players.

Messi is awesome.

@sandeep: C.Ronaldo scored 2 goals from free-kicks this season, and Messi scored 1.. how in world someone needs to improve penalties? Its not like Messi is missing them.. with ball Messi is much faster than C.Ronaldo and almost uncatchable to opponents even with sliding tackles.. ONLY attribute that C.Ronaldo is better at is Power/Strength and heading which is normal due to his height advantage..
