"Like I love to say, Messi could score half Ronaldo's goals and I'd STILL consider him the better player. He's a class ahead of Ronaldo. There's a reason no one EVER compares Ronaldo to a Pele or Maradonna."

I think we can end this argument by saying, there is only one Ronaldo.

The real Ronaldo >> the one

That Messi has more class is proofed also if you watched the last games Real-Barca. In every game Messi was decisive. Ronaldo nearly disappeared in this big games.

What about Fat Ronaldo? You know, only one of the greatest goalscorers of the past decade and a half?

not really. they are far and away the top 2 attacking players in the world. messi is better than ronaldo but thats it.
----------------------------------------------

The difference between Messi and Ronaldo is about the difference between Ronaldo and Kaka. Ronaldo may be in a class of his own behind Messi but he's still far behind Messi. So yes, it isn't close.

Great English gunnerthru.

cant ever remember messi being compared to pele personally.

Oh sorry Henriks_Forehead, didn't realise who you meant

"The difference between Messi and Ronaldo is about the difference between Ronaldo and Kaka."

In 2007 Kaka was ahead of Ronaldo imo. There was a time he was better.

That's what I meant, 100% Mertesacker.

I think the Champions League is better, the World Cup is a bigger stage though.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fair enough. Messi could be the most talented ever, but he cannot be categorically described as 'the best ever' until he is the outstanding player at a World Cup or wins a World Cup, regardless of the quality of his team mates.

Dubbed

Gunnerthru is German, you try speaking perfect German to him then.

There's a reason no one EVER compares Ronaldo to a Pele or Maradonna.
-------------------------------------
That means nothing. What kind of person would miss out comparing the best player and go straight to comparing the second best player to the best ever players.

You fellas have never really got over the 2nd leg of the CL at the emirates have you?

walcott > messi

"Gunnerthru is German, you try speaking perfect German to him then."

I know. Trying to wind him up.

Either way, I speak 2 other languages too. Don't see me moaning.

Dubbed, if you havent got more to say than just shut up.

I think the difference between Messi and Ronaldo is similar to fat Ronaldo and Henry, Henry was great but he doesn't come close to R9.

"You fellas have never really got over the 2nd leg of the CL at the emirates have you?"

Umm, we clearly have. Messi has done more against us in four games than Ronaldo has in god knows how many games.

Make me.

Where's Batmanu when you need him...?

dubbed is one of the biggest s on these boards

Arsenal fans.

Gervinho > Messi.

Gervinho is world class.
