As a RM-supporter, i will say that Messi is the best player i have seen in my lifetime. While Ronaldo is an all time great and a legendary goalscorer which we are lucky to have, Messi simply does more. Messi is the best playmaker in the world combined with being one of the best goalscorer of all time, you dont often find players who masters both, if ever.

only delusional fanboys will disagree with ur post. this post perfectly summed it up.
Messi - G.O.A.T
CR7 - One of the best Finisher

The mad thing about Ronaldo is I don't even think he's a natural goalscorer which is strange for someone whose only asset now is goals. His goals to shot ratio is actually poor and he misses a lot of sitters. Messi does too but there's far more to Messi than goals.

A natural finisher is someone who you supply a chance to and he'll put it away. In the modern era Van Nistelrooy is a good example. Ronaldo has become like Andy Cole used to be. Great positioning and sharp as a blade in persistence; plays in a really attacking team who cross endlessly and he'll get loads of chances and eventually put one or two away (plus his 20 Penaldos a season to boost the stats and take every free kick).

Ronaldo's game now is all about waiting for a defender to fuck up and then pounce, or dive for a penalty. It's effective but it's not exactly a genius at work.

I think there's a lot of players down the years who could have got close to Ronaldo's goal record if they played the sheer number of minutes he does (90 minutes 60 odd games a season near enough) and basically goal hanged, was totally selfish and took all the pens. Brazilian Ronaldo springs to mind but he didn't have Penaldo's luck with injuries, or luck with players like Ramos to bail him out.
