Bale: Ronaldo more complete than Messi

Tottenham forward Gareth Bale says Cristiano Ronaldo is a more ‘complete footballer’ than Barcelona’s Lionel Messi.

Tottenham forward Gareth Bale says Cristiano Ronaldo is a more ‘complete footballer’ than Barcelona’s Lionel Messi.

The in-form Spurs attacker, who is rumoured to be a transfer target for both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich this summer, has scored 13 Premier League goals so far this season.

Asked the question “Messi or Ronaldo?” by Life’s a Pitch, Bale revealed his admiration for Los Blancos’ star.

“For me, personally, I’d say Ronaldo,” the 23-year-old Welshman responded.

“He’s got the whole package. He’s strong, he’s powerful, he’s pacey, can head the ball, strike the ball. Obviously, you can’t say anything bad about Messi, but for the all-round complete footballer, I’d say Cristiano Ronaldo.”

The comments are likely to be taken as a welcome sign by Real Madrid that the Wales international would relish the chance to link up with Ronaldo.

According to reports, Los Merengues are expected to challenge Bayern for his signature at the end of the season in a move thought to potentially be worth around 50 million euros.

By then, Bayern will be managed by Messi’s former Barcelona coach, Pep Guardiola, who is said to also have a great interest in bringing Bale to the Bavarian outfit.

    Messi is 2 years less than ronaldo,so imagine what will he achieved with in 2 years. He is destroying different records held by differrent legendary players(not ronaldo). In all areas of stats messi is better. Again they are 4 to 1 on ballon d’or, so it is difficult as well as impossible to compare 4 consecutive winner with one time winner(as many footballers.) being one’s fan and accepting the fact are different. I think the issue should be ”is messi the greatest footballer of all time ?” rather than comparing 2 things which have a huge difference. Messi is in another level. One amaizing fool thinking is that messi can’t be successful in another leagues while seeing him destroying the better teams of the other leagues in champions league,which means you are saying, QPR,derby.sundeland,wigan,reading,…. are better than the likes of arsenal, man utd; teams like palermo,genoa,atlana,…. Better than milan. Supper messi again.

    Oh come on now… These guys stats are both strong in there own way but it’s a fact that Messi stats are a little bit more stronger. Messi IS the best player in the world, Ronaldo is second. Like I tell many Ronaldo fans is being the 2nd best footballer in the world really that bad that you have to cry about it? They are both “complete” in there own way as they both excel in the areas they are good at. Maybe Ronaldo will beat Messi this year.. Who actually cares.

    funnily enough, it’s the barca fans who make all the noise about how Madrid fans think it’s all about Ronaldo, and that RM is nothing without him, and yet Barca fans actually have the same train of thought about Messi. . . hypocritical.

    You have no right to shut me up. I will speak whenever i want and be quiet whenever i like. Why are you just rekindling a fire which has already died down? If you try to do that you will yourself burn in it.(ask Vazz).
    Football is not a one man game, it is a team game. That is what i have been trying to tell these stupid Cristiano Ronaldo fans who think Real Madrid is a one man army.
    For the case of both having different styles i have already said that Ronaldo is more physical but Messi is all skill. Since, Messi’s style is more effective (as records prove) therefore he IS a better player than Ronaldo.
    You are pretty darn stupid (as you are just 13) to repeat the things i had already said.

    @SMS @Vazz.. You are stating opinions.. Messi isn’t better than ronaldo and Ronaldo isn’t better than Messi… Shut up and stop arguing.. Messi wouldn’t be wear he is, if he didn’t have Xavi, Fabregas, Sanchez, Dani Alves and all of the Barca players… Ronaldo wouldn’t be anything if he didn’t have Ozil, Benzema, Higuain, Di Maria, Alonso, Khedira and the rest of RM… So stop arguing on who’s better, They are different play styles and different players… And this is coming from a 13 yr old…

    For me Gareth Bale is not fit enough to comment about Messi . He is nothing (again for me). Messi is the best player ever after Maradona . It will be so unfair to compare such a great star with cr7.

    Ronaldo is bigger and stronger than Messi and yet Messi is compared to him, so that means Messi is better. Example, if a 100lb man beats a 250lb man in a fist fight u would say he can fight better than the 250lb man but if it was the other way around u would say the 250lb man took advantage of the 100lb man so with all the advantages Ronaldo has over Messi, Leo still out shines him so what does that tells u

    Totally agree that it is a hard job to compare both but really its down to your own personal opinion. Therefore you have bias towards one over the other as you’ll favour your choice.
    Personally I prefer Messi as the guy all round is a football player and has remained truly down to earth where as Ronaldo is a fantastic player but to me loves his extravagant lifestyle as much as his football.
    We currently live in a footballing world where you get looked at initially by size, if your not 6ft tall autmatically your not physically capable of the modern demands of the game – untrue as Messi, Xavu & Iniesta have proved.
    The guy earlier who made the comment can’t be Messi as he hasn’t proved it in the EPL, that one made me laugh. THE EPL is hanging onto the 3rd best league in Europe below Spain then Germany while just keeping above Italy.
    The Champions League 2012/2013 proves this!!

    To be comparing both is not fair and a tough job..both hv qualities and own skills..messi has been in the same club since his childhood,so he knows the style of club play and ideas of his team mates like xavi,puyol,pique,andres(iniesta) etc.so its not difficult for him to team up and score cause they are together for last decades..bt ronaldo has been test and tried again and again in different clubs and leagues and he has emerged better and bettter..messi needs to be tested with other clubs before both can be compared.as for their national sides both have nt done much..for barca ronaldinho was the one who took the club from bad phase to dominating force again in world football.so messi enjoyed to join the seniors when the club was enjoying success.bt madrid was struggling after the retiring of the giants like zidane,raul,ronaldo,figo etc.so ronaldo had a task to prove and he did..bt both cant be compared to pele,maradona,zidane ,ronaldinho and other legends coz they are better only in club games and not with the national side…

    Is Man U wilderness?
    Man U is perhaps one of the best teams in the world.
    Dont you call a player who plays for just one club, who is devoted and loyal to a team which has done so much to him a not so good player?
    Perhaps according to you Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Ramos, Xabi, Shwiensteiger, Giggs, Scholes, Lampard, Terry, Gerrard, Ferdinand are stupid players.
    What stupidness is this?
    I already gave a proof that he can destroy the best teams of the best leagues in the world. Hence, he will have no problem in playing in any league in the world.
    Chillax, Messi used to play as a winger until Villa got injured. Talking about formations its not upto Messi to decide the formation, perhaps it is up to the coach to decide.
    I also told you that Messi has a better scoring average than Ronaldo for Argentina and Portugal respectively.
    Talking about height and power, yes Messi doesnt have that, but Ronaldo too cant dribble, pass, defend and run past defenders like Messi.
    So, its a no brainer that Messi is better than Ronaldo since he is more effective.

    Ok… Tough Debate but i have to agree with Vazz. Messi can only play 433,4312 whereas Ronaldo can play almost all of them. Ronaldo is taller, Ambidextrous, but the thing that kills him is his attitude if not for that Ronaldo would be much, much better than Messi. Also to make good caomparisons you have to see Messi in other clubs hes been at barca way tooooooooooo long. My point is there exactly at same level now, but Ronaldo has way more potential.

    Dont you remember how he crushed Bayer Leverkusen single-handedly?

    How will Ronaldo show that he is better when he realy isn’t?
    Real Madrid isn’t just about Ronaldo. It has many other legends.
    One more thing, Barcelona is better than Real Madrid. Have a look at the facts. Barca have won 4 of 5 last LIGA BBVA which means they have consistently been better than Real Madrid over the entire years.

    Maybe you are not a very good telepath. Your prediction about me is really stupid and childish (as I said earlier). Your prediction about Messi is the same. Ronaldo didnt score as many goals as he is doing now. I mean his scoring ratio was less than 0.5 at MAN U. He didnt prove anything. Any good striker can do that when he has Giggs and Scholes at peak to support him.
    Why do you want to impose your attitude over me?
    You must be having this attitude of changing your stars. You must have jumped to Ronaldo and since he has still not declined you are just not able to make up your mind that Messi is better.
    Please just don’t keep repeating the same thing. (Especially laughing stupidly). And stop thinking that everyone is like you. Remember that I am neither a Ronaldo fan nor a Neymar fan. Keep your telepathing skills to yourself.

    Messi used to play as winger until Villa broke his leg.
    Then only Messi started playing as a striker. He has been scoring more than Ronaldo since many years.

    If power is the only factor to be considered for being the best player then ronaldo is better.

    You are pretty darn stupid in saying that Messi has scored 18 times in classicos compared to Ronaldo’s 10. Work the averages, it comes out to be 2.57 goals per year compared to Ronaldo’s 2.5. So this still tells Messi is better.

    You are repeatedly bleating that Messi can’t play in EPL or for any other club. Your childish nature is clearly visible in the way you abuse. You should clearly note that Messi’s scoring average is better than that of Ronaldo for his national team. I think that this proves he can play anywhere in the world. I actually think you should grow up and believe Messi is better rather than telling others to grow up.

    Also, Messi scored more goals away last season than at home.
    His record was twenty two goals at home and twenty four away. Whereas as look at ronaldo’s record twenty one at home and just thirteen away.
    This just proves that Messi is more complete than Ronaldo and can score anywhere.
    So, stop blabbering you C. Ronaldo fans.

    You Cristiano Ronaldo fans just want to think that he can do everything and Messi can only score with his left foot.
    But you are wrong, he can do anything. He just doesnt show off like Ronaldo. He has scored many headers and has the ability to score with his weak foot. Yes, his header is not as good as that of Ronaldo. Yes, his weak foot is not as strong as that of Ronaldo.
    But, is Ronaldo’s stronger foot is as strong and as accurate as Messi? I assure you Messi scores more goals with his stronger foot than Ronaldo.
    Can Ronaldo dribble?
    Yes, he can, but he is not even half as good as Messi at dribbling.
    And, for the thing of scoring because he plays with Barcelona. I have repetedly said you watch this video in order to remove this doubt:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbxXrAlLm4g
    Ronaldo has got no less talented midfield at Real Madrid and had no less talented midfield Manchester United.
    And, just for the record, Messi has a better goals per games ratio than Ronaldo for his national team.
    I think Ronaldo has spent more time bonding with his national team than Messi.
    So, I think Messi, not only being a better player, is the more complete palyer too.

    And besides, what can Messi do? receive and shoot with left foot alone? assists with left foot ALONE? whatabout Ronaldo? heads and kick in whatever position which could possibly makes a goal. Lucky about Messi is that at his early age, he is with Barca. How couldnt you know your teammates styles if you’ve been playing with them for several years!

    For all those complaining that Messi is a better player than Ronaldo, you have clearly misunderstood what Bale was trying to get across. Bale was trying to say that Ronaldo is a more “complete player, not a better player, he may think that but that’s not the point. His point was that Ronaldo has everything an attacker needs: Speed, Strength Agility, Shooting, Good Vision, Heading ability etc… Now not to say that Messi doesn’t have most of those things, but Messi is weak, thus not allowing him to head the ball as he easily gets out-muscled in the air and the ball, whereas Ronaldo doesn’t. But Messi is probably better on the ball and at finishing than Ronaldo, and when you break it down to facts Messi is a better player than Ronaldo, but that wasn’t the question asked in the first place so quit complaining.

    Amazing story on Cristiano Ronaldo from early on in his career, true friendship that changed his whole life!

    Cristiano Ronaldo –

    I have to thank my friend Albert Fantrau for my success. We played together for a youth club. When people from sporting arrived, they told us that whoever scored more goals would be be accepted to their Academy.

    We won that game 3-0, I scored the first goal, then Albert scored a header, and the third was a goal that impressed everyone. Albert went on one on one with the goal keeper. I was running next to him, he went round the keeper, all he needed to do was just to getthe ball into the empty net. But, he passed it to me and I scored. I was accepted to the Academy. After the match, I approached him and asked him “why” and he answered; “You’re better than me”.

    Several years after, journalist went to Albert’s house, and asked whether the story was true. He confirmed. He also said that his career as a football player finished after that match and he is now unemployed. “But where did you get such a gorgeous house, a car? You seemed to be a rich person. You also maintain your family…… where is all from? Albert proudly replied “its from Cristiano.”

    What is the definition of “a complete player” ?
    Physically speaking Ronaldo can b used in more ways than Messi.
    So based on this fact that Ronaldo is taller and strong in the air he has a clear advantage. He also happens o be ambidextrous and better with his weak foot.
    Those two factors aside Messi is better in every regard.
    Messi is more creative, can play anywhere in the attacking third, has a better passing range, is more efficient in front of goal and doesn’t need the acres of space down he flank that Ronaldo needs to be at his best. All of this while standing at 5’7″.
    So while I admit that Cristiano is a great physical specimen he is by no means a more complete attacker than Messi.
    General game play and stats show that Messi is more well rounded.

    regardless. Iniesta and Xavi may not have the most assists, but what are they known for?

    Answer: passing.

    There’s also the fact that Messi plays for tiki taka masters Barca, where everyone, it seems, can assist. Messi doesn’t have that with Argentina.

    Jealousy makes people nasty… Ronaldo is a fantastic footballer. Yes he is ambidextrous and more physically capable in the air having quite a height advantage over Messi… What you don’t take into consideration is Messi’s passing and vision is superb nobody can change direction as quick as Messi he’s closed down by no less than 2-3 players whenever he’s on the ball for Argentina he’s creating and scoring constantly now for the National team WITHOUT Xavi and Iniesta which so many CR7 fanboys say is the only way Messi scores which is utter bullshit.. Messi have done it over and over where he’s beaten 4-6 players then beat the keeper one on one and at 25 he’s on 4 ballon d’Ors already… So all the deluded fans that think Ronaldo is better maybe watch Messi play for Argentina if you think he can’t score or assist without Barcelona.

    I think this is just an opinion of wich team you suport barça=messi real=ronaldo. I think Bale said that because his most probable move is to real madrid, if he really thinks that i dont know. The think is that they both are great players who contribute to their teams in different ways and both do it perfectly.

    Messi has won 4 Ballon D’Or in comparision to Ronaldo’s just 1. That is a testimonial in itself.
    I mean to say there are much greater people at the helm at FIFA giving away the award than Bale.
    So, it doesnt really matter, its just his personal view, maybe just because his playing position and style is more like Ronaldo. All you people who think Messi scores just because of the presence of Xavi and Iniesta. I would like to remind Ronaldo plays for Real Madrid whose midfield is no less stronger than that of Barcelona. I mean a midfield consisting of Khedeira, Ozil, Alonso, Kaka, Modric, Maria and Essien is hugely talented. Those people saying his performance at Man U was as good as that of his at Real or that of Messi, then just for the record he just managed 84 goals from 196 games, which is not even a goal in 2 games. NOTE His age was the same when Messi started the season in which he scored 91 goals.
    Lets take out the midfield from question.
    What has Ronaldo done for his Portugal?
    He has scored just 39 times in 104 appearances whereas Messi has scored 35 times in 82 games, which is much better record.

    So, a complete palyer or not, Messi is a better palyer than Ronaldo

    Thank you, Brad, for the righting. I alluded to 2006 in lieu of 2010 by accident. Let me simply mention a quote by The King, Pele, for those who think that Messi is the only success of Barcelona: “Barca is by far the best group in the world.” He said that because Neymar had a contract to play for Barcelona. Let’s wait for the Confederations Cup to see which squad is markedly ready to affront the 2014 World Cup

    You have a point Georges Jean, although you got one fact wrong: it was 2010 where Messi failed to score, not 2006! He at least managed one goal there. . .

    Anyone is entitled to his opinion, but one has to be careful in comparing Messi to other great players. Opinions also relate to facts. First, Barcelona are comprised of various World-class players who play in the Spain squad, and these legends perform in key positions as Midfielders and Forwards for Barcelona. In this point, Messi has the assist of effective players from the Spain squad! This fact is favorable to Messi, and both Ronaldo and Messi are productive when they have the back-up of a promising squad, which Messi lacked in the 2006 World Cup by not scoring any goal!

    Xavi and Iniesta are the lucky ones, and of course not Messi….MESSI IS THE INSPIRATION. MESSI IS THE GOAL AND THE ASSIST IN THE SAME TIME. MESSI IS “SAL” = Scorer, Assistant, Leader !!!!!!!!!!

    Bale is an ignorant and obviously a Messi’s hater and is jealous of him….the word “complete” is very misunderstood… Not even Maradona scored with HEADERS and nor had much STRENGTH. Maradona didn’t have these things, but still, he’s considered as the BEST EVER PLAYER, ALONGSIDE PELE. or cr7 is better than Maradona because he scores headers and have more strength ??? lol haha !!! Messi is ALL ABOUT NATURAL TALENT AND BRAIN INSPIRATION. MESSI HAS MORE GOALS & MORE ASSISTS EVERY YEAR, HIS STATISTICS ARE CRAZY, SIMPLY UNBELIEVABLE. HE’S THE FIRST EVER (AND THE ONLY ONE) TO HAVE WON 3 EUR. GOLDEN BOOTS AND 4 SUCCESSIVE BALLONS D’OR. IN SPAIN, HE WINS EVERY AWARD POSSIBLE…CR7 IS ALWAYS SECOND (or third) EVEN IN LA LIGA’S AWARDS….MESSI CAN ONLY BE COMPARED TO PELE AND MARADONA. THE COMPARISON WITH CR7 IS JUST RIDICULOUS, IT SHOULDN’T EVEN EXIST… IT BELONGS TO THE IMAGINATION AND THE DREAMS ON CR7’S FANS, MOSTLY PORTUEGUESE AND MADRIDISTAS….
    MESSI IS THE ULTIMATE NUMBER 1 AND THAT CANNOT CHANGE, WHETHER SOME PEOPLE LIKE IT OR NOT….

    Ronaldo was the crown jewel of United and Real’s already star-studded squads, much like Pele was with Brazil and Messi is today with Barca. Another thing, Ronaldo has likewise gone up against the best teams and won as well.

    I don’t try to make Messi ordinary. I just try to point out he’s not precisely everything many of his fans (some of whom require quotation marks around that word) like to think he is, and that other players are far better than they like to admit.

    They’ve both got great skills so, i wouldn’t come from the angle of skills. Not a fan of any but I’d take Cr7 over Messi simply cuz C-Ronaldo’s good with both feet. If you lose an arm or a leg and you’ve got only a single arm or leg as a human, football outta it, do you still say you’re complete? Messi’s weaker foot is just too weak compared to Ronaldo’s.

    FINAL WHEN CR7 WAS THERE. MESSI IS ALSO THE BEST PASSER OF THE BALL AND ABOVE ALL HIS PLAYER DISCIPLINE IS SUPERIOR TO CR7. SO HOW CAN YOU SAY CR7 IS A MORE COMPLETE PLAYER THAN MESSI, THATS A MAD MAN DREAM.

    Bale is a professional Footballer. His opinion is valid despite the 4 Ballon DOr wins Messi is credited with. That is as much of a team award as it is individual. Without team success you don’t win it. Within the Barcelona scheme Messi is always the last pass. He is sublimely skilled, but also playing in a League where the physicality, or lack of, allows him the space and safety to be a genius. He is the perfect fit, for a fabulous team in a forgiving league. Ronaldo on the other hand has succeeded, to almost Messi-anic levels, in both La liga and the EPL, the latter being perhaps the most physical league in the world. He is also a winger, and only one of several options at the end of Real Madrid attacking movements. Yes part of his completeness is due to the fact he has a bigger, stronger, faster body. So what? This is professional sport not someones field of dreams, and the body you are born with is part of the equation. There are ton’s of kids who can think like Messi on a FIFA video game, but they haven’t the body to execute on the field. Ronaldo has it all: skill, vision, athleticism and the ability (thanks to Sir alex) to compete in both a physical and a technical environment. I’d take him first anytime. Ultimately, to put it in north american terms, if you are the best technical blocker ever created you will never play offensive tackle in the NFL if you only weigh 200 lbs. Never. Physicality and technical ability should be equally weighted by anyone who evaluates the game. Bale is right.

    Everyone is always arguing about this topic. Even people who don’t follow football know about this. As a “complete footballer”, you need to be able to do very well in every aspect that is basically required to play imo. Yes CR7 can head the ball and shoot at a much farther distance than messi, but at the end of the day messi is still out-classing CR7. It showed when he came on against PSG in the Champions League match. the entire atmosphere changed and he helped them win. CR7 still has not been able to drastically change a game except for performing better against top clubs but not doing it himself. Don’t care if guys think I am wrong but it is true and you just have to accept the fact that messi is still a better player than CR7 as of now

    Ronaldo does have a more complete game, obviously because of his bigger body. But Messi is a talent so far beyond anybody else in the game, that I’d rather build a team around him than Ronaldo. It’s easier to compensate for Messi’s deficiencies, by complimenting him with appropriate teammates, than it is to find anything close to his kind of skills in the first place.

    CR7 is the complete footballer. Being played as a winger, he has scored much goals. Its a great achievement. While Messi plays as a striker. CR7 has got great power, pace, speed, skills, header, and everything to make him a complete footballer. Messi is also good, it dosn’t mean that he is bad. But CR7 is much more complete than him. Bale has said what the truth is. We must admire him.

By the way Braddy and cloudy i missed you two a hell of lot. Hey its naked truth we should face soccer now a days i know for the Mes btwn CR7, and one thing is for sure Messi rules and only him. but now a days CR7 has surely showed what he has got and i really like to watch him. by the way i m in hurry and will see each other later. thanks guys cheers for Messi and CR7….

    Messi has proved himself. . . in la liga. He’s starting to turn up for Argentina too, this past 12 months or so.

    But, he does need to try another league. Ronaldo has had success in two, Messi only in one. I think Messi’s the best in the world (right now, of course, not all time like some people think. .. . where’s the facts for it?), but Ronaldo is the most complete.

    Bccs u like one more then the other
    Doesnt mean u need to hate ronaldo or hate messi

    Both ronaldo and messi are amazing players , both in different ways, messi with his dribbles and tick tack soccer
    And ronaldo with his inhuman power and speed.

    Its just a pity that ronaldo didnt get the ballon d’orr this season, he deserved it more then messi after last la liga showings

    Anyway
    Both players are GODS of soccer.
    Both equal good in different ways.
    -FACT-

    Its true that messi should atleast go and try to play in england or who knows where
    To peove his worth, i mean.. Its easy with his talent to play at a barca( full of
    World
    Class players) who help you 24/7

    Ronaldo made real better like when he played at man united
    He lifted te team big time
    Remember 2008/2009

    Thats what i am
    Talking about !

    So yh messi should try and prove himself at another club and ronaldo should go back to england where the ppl atleast respect him , mabye he wil be able to improve even more.

    Dont go hate bale for liking ronaldo more then messi
    Hes goodbale..
    In two three years he might be in the top 5 for the ballon d’orr
    🙂
    Would love to see him try atleast!

    Wel, i like ronaldo more then messi, i think ronaldo is equally good or mabye even more
    He atleast fights 120% for club and country and i like that spirit.
    But thats just my opinion doesnt mean messis shit >>

    Wel a fact is messi is a beast
    And ronaldo is a beast
    Both are amazing and both got moments where they are unbeatable!

    You know
    I would love to see messi and ronaldo
    Play together that would be dah bomb

    Anyway

    Stop hating ronaldo you messi lovers!!!
    And stop hating messi my CR7 brothers and sisters
    Its time to stop wearing the ” pro ronaldo or pro messi” glasses and just ENYOY. Both playera who are equally the best in the world in diffrrent ways!

    They are chalk and cheese. Both great in completely different ways. Ronnie tall, an athlete’s engine and unique shooting style. Leo more like a typical compact player, amazing control, clinical near goal, fabulous team player and serene temperament. We are lucky to see them both in their prime. And Gareth Bale? He’s a one-off too. Love seeing him in full flight burning off the defenders and letting fly. He’s more like a Ronnie than a Leo which may be why he sees Ronnie as more complete in his skill set. But you don’t become World Player of the Year three times running without being the best.

    Point of correction, bale needs nothing from the portugese star coz he gat money, fame, he’s a celebrity and he’s also a good player. But as for ronaldo and messi, i prefer ronaldo’s style of play to messi’s though messi might be more than him a bit. Thank you

    What does “complete” mean anyway? Sometimes, we’d better think first than blind support for the player(s) that we are fans of. Notice how Bale doesn’t say BETTER, but COMPLETE.

    Bale is an amazing player… Maybe even better than both – why you ask? Because he’s amazing for a team that do not have the brilliance of Alonso/Ozil or Iniesta/Xavi. Then again, individual credit where its due, Cristiano and Messi are SOME OF the best players of our generation!!! They are indisputably the best players right now – but just some food for thought, would Messi workout at Tottenham Hotspur the way Bale has (I’m thinking of Messi’s performance for Argentina, which is a WAY better team than Spurs)? I’m now going to sound like a Messi hater (I’m not, I love watching him. And I don’t really like either), but as stats go, Ronaldo has proven himself way more than Messi (not just one-sided record breaking, but in THREE teams – Man Utd, Real Madrid, and Portugal) and thus must be a more COMPLETE player than Messi

    if CR7 ever played in a team like Barcelona that creates a trillion chances worth of clear goals,only for any lame football player to easily score into the net,then why wouldn’t anyone top the score charts unlike in Real Madrid where it’s all about counter attacking and individual brilliance,barcelona is team that plays as a group & their kind of play would even make it easy for Ronaldo to score 500 goals with ease since no energy is needed to barcelona’s way of play,the worst striker would also net 1000 goals in barcelona.An example is DAVID Villa, when his playin for spain with thee likes of xavi,iniesta,busquets and fabregas,he freely scores and tops the charts with the golden boot and breaks records in spain but in barcelona where he’s wasted on bench for Messi,he still comes off the bench and scores,what if he was given an opportunity to play as a lone striker in barcelona without Messi,wounldn’t he break those records and CR7 would even do it btter than any player in this universe if he was at barcelona (the truth hurts but that’s it)

    Vicran, if you read between the line, you’ll see that I’m not comparing Messi to another. I mentioned Ronaldo, O Fenomeno, not the one in Portugal! This point is not irrelevant to this post in view that Maradona, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo have always been exposed to differences. But, if I had to compare Cristiano Ronaldo to Messi, I would say that both of them are performing well in attack. What I had mentioned is expressed in basic writing, which any good writer can understand. Why not you?

    O Fenomeno, Ronaldo, is simply a great legend! In addition, one may be reticent to establish a difference in view of eras; however, there are marked differences between Maradona, Ronaldo, and Messi. To me, O Fenomeno is one of the best dribblers! With more playmakers in the Brazilian squad like him, Brazil could have a chance to win the World Cup 2014. But, the reality is that Brazil don’t have a pure striker like O Fenomeno! Spain, Germany, Italy, England, Argentina may win the World Cup 2014! If you disagree, just check the World FIFA Ranking now–not in 2014.

    Gareth Bale is just saying the truth for what he has seen and notice .. He is not yet at his best form. I don’t find it very complicated because if only footballers may express their opinions, they would probably choose Cristiano Ronaldo as a complete footballer than the Catalan star. Cristiano is still the best even if unable to win those individual awards.

    No but honestly..
    Im getting sick of the mainstream ppl hailing messi ans talking shit about ronaldo.
    I don’t like messi but im not gonna talk shit about him.
    Bccs u like one more then the other
    Doesnt mean u need to hate ronaldo or hate messi

    Both ronaldo and messi are amazing players , both in different ways, messi with his dribbles and tick tack soccer
    And ronaldo with his inhuman power and speed.

    Its just a pity that ronaldo didnt get the ballon d’orr this season, he deserved it more then messi after last la liga showings

    Anyway
    Both players are GODS of soccer.
    Both equal good in different ways.
    -FACT-

    Its true that messi should atleast go and try to play in england or who knows where
    To peove his worth, i mean.. Its easy with his talent to play at a barca( full of
    World
    Class players) who help you 24/7

    Ronaldo made real better like when he played at man united
    He lifted te team big time
    Remember 2008/2009

    Thats what i am
    Talking about !

    So yh messi should try and prove himself at another club and ronaldo should go back to england where the ppl atleast respect him , mabye he wil be able to improve even more.

    Dont go hate bale for liking ronaldo more then messi
    Hes goodbale..
    In two three years he might be in the top 5 for the ballon d’orr
    🙂
    Would love to see him try atleast!

    Wel, i like ronaldo more then messi, i think ronaldo is equally good or mabye even more
    He atleast fights 120% for club and country and i like that spirit.
    But thats just my opinion doesnt mean messis shit >>

    Wel a fact is messi is a beast
    And ronaldo is a beast
    Both are amazing and both got moments where they are unbeatable!

    You know
    I would love to see messi and ronaldo
    Play together that would be dah bomb

    Anyway

    Stop hating ronaldo you messi lovers!!!
    And stop hating messi my CR7 brothers and sisters
    Its time to stop wearing the ” pro ronaldo or pro messi” glasses and just ENYOY. Both playera who are equally the best in the world in diffrrent ways!

    Messi has proved himself. . . in la liga. He’s starting to turn up for Argentina too, this past 12 months or so.

    But, he does need to try another league. Ronaldo has had success in two, Messi only in one. I think Messi’s the best in the world (right now, of course, not all time like some people think. .. . where’s the facts for it?), but Ronaldo is the most complete.

    Hi especially Brad and cloud your dude is back all d way from almost a world tour. first of all bale should prove is abilities to talk or comment or judge the Titans and then should say some thing. To me Bale is yet not in position to go on and say or decide on any players abilities and first should improvise his own performances @ Spurs. as previously he had some transfer links to Madrid doesnt mean talking or praising Ronaldo wil give him such chances or big money orrrr smthng. By the way Braddy and cloudy i missed you two a hell of lot.

    Did you see Bale ever bring himself into the equation? Other than his opinion on who’s more complete?

    He didn’t say jack about himself, therefore, he has every right to talk of other players he knows are better than himself, and to compare the two to each other.

    oh yeah, I forgot, you’re a Messi fan. Whilst not all Messi fans are like this, you’re one of the big reasons I’ve come to- rather reluctantly- stereotype as narrow-minded, uninformed (much like Obama supporters in my country), and impertinent.

    CR7 is the complete footballer. Being played as a winger, he has scored much goals. Its a great achievement. While Messi plays as a striker. CR7 has got great power, pace, speed, skills, header, and everything to make him a complete footballer. Messi is also good, it dosn’t mean that he is bad. But CR7 is much more complete than him. Bale has said what the truth is. We must admire him.

    Ronaldo does have a more complete game, obviously because of his bigger body. But Messi is a talent so far beyond anybody else in the game, that I’d rather build a team around him than Ronaldo. It’s easier to compensate for Messi’s deficiencies, by complimenting him with appropriate teammates, than it is to find anything close to his kind of skills in the first place.

    What a worthless comment, who cares about being more complete generally? I mean Messi trains dribbling and finishing instead of some finishing some dribbling and some jumping and heading, Messi does more goals totally and contributes more, and is some levels above Cronaldo.

    Everyone is always arguing about this topic. Even people who don’t follow football know about this. As a “complete footballer”, you need to be able to do very well in every aspect that is basically required to play imo. Yes CR7 can head the ball and shoot at a much farther distance than messi, but at the end of the day messi is still out-classing CR7. It showed when he came on against PSG in the Champions League match. the entire atmosphere changed and he helped them win. CR7 still has not been able to drastically change a game except for performing better against top clubs but not doing it himself. Don’t care if guys think I am wrong but it is true and you just have to accept the fact that messi is still a better player than CR7 as of now

    Bale is a professional Footballer. His opinion is valid despite the 4 Ballon DOr wins Messi is credited with. That is as much of a team award as it is individual. Without team success you don’t win it. Within the Barcelona scheme Messi is always the last pass. He is sublimely skilled, but also playing in a League where the physicality, or lack of, allows him the space and safety to be a genius. He is the perfect fit, for a fabulous team in a forgiving league. Ronaldo on the other hand has succeeded, to almost Messi-anic levels, in both La liga and the EPL, the latter being perhaps the most physical league in the world. He is also a winger, and only one of several options at the end of Real Madrid attacking movements. Yes part of his completeness is due to the fact he has a bigger, stronger, faster body. So what? This is professional sport not someones field of dreams, and the body you are born with is part of the equation. There are ton’s of kids who can think like Messi on a FIFA video game, but they haven’t the body to execute on the field. Ronaldo has it all: skill, vision, athleticism and the ability (thanks to Sir alex) to compete in both a physical and a technical environment. I’d take him first anytime. Ultimately, to put it in north american terms, if you are the best technical blocker ever created you will never play offensive tackle in the NFL if you only weigh 200 lbs. Never. Physicality and technical ability should be equally weighted by anyone who evaluates the game. Bale is right.

    To me,as a young and talented footballer,I will say Cr7 is a more complete player,than leonel messi. This is so because Cr7 GATT the skills,where by he scores using all parts of his body,some thing too difficult for messi to do.more so,he is really fast Which is a great advantage over messi.this is going to be proven,this season as he takes the best player award.

    FINAL WHEN CR7 WAS THERE. MESSI IS ALSO THE BEST PASSER OF THE BALL AND ABOVE ALL HIS PLAYER DISCIPLINE IS SUPERIOR TO CR7. SO HOW CAN YOU SAY CR7 IS A MORE COMPLETE PLAYER THAN MESSI, THATS A MAD MAN DREAM.

Maradona didn’t have these things, but still, he’s considered as the BEST EVER PLAYER, ALONGSIDE PELE. or cr7 is better than Maradona because he scores headers and have more strength ??? lol haha !!! Messi is ALL ABOUT NATURAL TALENT AND BRAIN INSPIRATION. MESSI HAS MORE GOALS & MORE ASSISTS EVERY YEAR, HIS STATISTICS ARE CRAZY, SIMPLY UNBELIEVABLE. HE’S THE FIRST EVER (AND THE ONLY ONE) TO HAVE WON 3 EUR. GOLDEN BOOTS AND 4 SUCCESSIVE BALLONS D’OR. IN SPAIN, HE WINS EVERY AWARD POSSIBLE…CR7 IS ALWAYS SECOND (or third) EVEN IN LA LIGA’S AWARDS….MESSI CAN ONLY BE COMPARED TO PELE AND MARADONA. THE COMPARISON WITH CR7 IS JUST RIDICULOUS, IT SHOULDN’T EVEN EXIST… IT BELONGS TO THE IMAGINATION AND THE DREAMS ON CR7’S FANS, MOSTLY PORTUEGUESE AND MADRIDISTAS….

    Xavi and Iniesta are the lucky ones, and of course not Messi….MESSI IS THE INSPIRATION. MESSI IS THE GOAL AND THE ASSIST IN THE SAME TIME. MESSI IS “SAL” = Scorer, Assistant, Leader !!!!!!!!!!

    Anyone is entitled to his opinion, but one has to be careful in comparing Messi to other great players. Opinions also relate to facts. First, Barcelona are comprised of various World-class players who play in the Spain squad, and these legends perform in key positions as Midfielders and Forwards for Barcelona. In this point, Messi has the assist of effective players from the Spain squad! This fact is favorable to Messi, and both Ronaldo and Messi are productive when they have the back-up of a promising squad, which Messi lacked in the 2006 World Cup by not scoring any goal!

    Thank you, Brad, for the righting. I alluded to 2006 in lieu of 2010 by accident.

Let’s wait for the Confederations Cup to see which squad is markedly ready to affront the 2014 World Cup

    Messi has won 4 Ballon D’Or in comparision to Ronaldo’s just 1. That is a testimonial in itself.
    I mean to say there are much greater people at the helm at FIFA giving away the award than Bale.
    So, it doesnt really matter, its just his personal view, maybe just because his playing position and style is more like Ronaldo. All you people who think Messi scores just because of the presence of Xavi and Iniesta. I would like to remind Ronaldo plays for Real Madrid whose midfield is no less stronger than that of Barcelona. I mean a midfield consisting of Khedeira, Ozil, Alonso, Kaka, Modric, Maria and Essien is hugely talented. Those people saying his performance at Man U was as good as that of his at Real or that of Messi, then just for the record he just managed 84 goals from 196 games, which is not even a goal in 2 games. NOTE His age was the same when Messi started the season in which he scored 91 goals.
    Lets take out the midfield from question.
    What has Ronaldo done for his Portugal?
    He has scored just 39 times in 104 appearances whereas Messi has scored 35 times in 82 games, which is much better record.

    So, a complete palyer or not, Messi is a better palyer than Ronaldo

    Jealousy makes people nasty… Ronaldo is a fantastic footballer. Yes he is ambidextrous and more physically capable in the air having quite a height advantage over Messi… What you don’t take into consideration is Messi’s passing and vision is superb nobody can change direction as quick as Messi he’s closed down by no less than 2-3 players whenever he’s on the ball for Argentina he’s creating and scoring constantly now for the National team WITHOUT Xavi and Iniesta which so many CR7 fanboys say is the only way Messi scores which is utter bullshit.. Messi have done it over and over where he’s beaten 4-6 players then beat the keeper one on one and at 25 he’s on 4 ballon d’Ors already… So all the deluded fans that think Ronaldo is better maybe watch Messi play for Argentina if you think he can’t score or assist without Barcelona.

    regardless. Iniesta and Xavi may not have the most assists, but what are they known for?

    What is the definition of “a complete player” ?
    Physically speaking Ronaldo can b used in more ways than Messi.
    So based on this fact that Ronaldo is taller and strong in the air he has a clear advantage. He also happens o be ambidextrous and better with his weak foot.
    Those two factors aside Messi is better in every regard.
    Messi is more creative, can play anywhere in the attacking third, has a better passing range, is more efficient in front of goal and doesn’t need the acres of space down he flank that Ronaldo needs to be at his best. All of this while standing at 5’7″.
    So while I admit that Cristiano is a great physical specimen he is by no means a more complete attacker than Messi.
    General game play and stats show that Messi is more well rounded.

    Amazing story on Cristiano Ronaldo from early on in his career, true friendship that changed his whole life!

    Cristiano Ronaldo –

    I have to thank my friend Albert Fantrau for my success. We played together for a youth club. When people from sporting arrived, they told us that whoever scored more goals would be be accepted to their Academy.

    We won that game 3-0, I scored the first goal, then Albert scored a header, and the third was a goal that impressed everyone. Albert went on one on one with the goal keeper. I was running next to him, he went round the keeper, all he needed to do was just to getthe ball into the empty net. But, he passed it to me and I scored. I was accepted to the Academy. After the match, I approached him and asked him “why” and he answered; “You’re better than me”.

    Several years after, journalist went to Albert’s house, and asked whether the story was true. He confirmed. He also said that his career as a football player finished after that match and he is now unemployed. “But where did you get such a gorgeous house, a car? You seemed to be a rich person. You also maintain your family…… where is all from? Albert proudly replied “its from Cristiano.”

    For all those complaining that Messi is a better player than Ronaldo, you have clearly misunderstood what Bale was trying to get across. Bale was trying to say that Ronaldo is a more “complete player, not a better player, he may think that but that’s not the point. His point was that Ronaldo has everything an attacker needs: Speed, Strength Agility, Shooting, Good Vision, Heading ability etc… Now not to say that Messi doesn’t have most of those things, but Messi is weak, thus not allowing him to head the ball as he easily gets out-muscled in the air and the ball, whereas Ronaldo doesn’t. But Messi is probably better on the ball and at finishing than Ronaldo, and when you break it down to facts Messi is a better player than Ronaldo, but that wasn’t the question asked in the first place so quit complaining.

    You Cristiano Ronaldo fans just want to think that he can do everything and Messi can only score with his left foot.
    But you are wrong, he can do anything. He just doesnt show off like Ronaldo. He has scored many headers and has the ability to score with his weak foot. Yes, his header is not as good as that of Ronaldo. Yes, his weak foot is not as strong as that of Ronaldo.
    But, is Ronaldo’s stronger foot is as strong and as accurate as Messi? I assure you Messi scores more goals with his stronger foot than Ronaldo.
    Can Ronaldo dribble?
    Yes, he can, but he is not even half as good as Messi at dribbling.
    And, for the thing of scoring because he plays with Barcelona. I have repetedly said you watch this video in order to remove this doubt:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbxXrAlLm4g
    Ronaldo has got no less talented midfield at Real Madrid and had no less talented midfield Manchester United.
    And, just for the record, Messi has a better goals per games ratio than Ronaldo for his national team.
    I think Ronaldo has spent more time bonding with his national team than Messi.
    So, I think Messi, not only being a better player, is the more complete palyer too.

    Also, Messi scored more goals away last season than at home.
    His record was twenty two goals at home and twenty four away. Whereas as look at ronaldo’s record twenty one at home and just thirteen away.
    This just proves that Messi is more complete than Ronaldo and can score anywhere.
    So, stop blabbering yo C. Ronaldo fans.

    RONALDO is best enough about it k ……….he came from a island wit nothing and made HIMSELF into the star he is…..messi was bought by barca when he was 10…..barca paid for everything for the lad including medical treatment to make him a touch taller when he was 12….so MESSI was created by and for barca… and cristano MADE it on his own.

    Bale can only say cr7 is better than Messi because they play the same pattern and wing so, it is just like saying ‘i am better than Messi’ i.e surpoting himself which is normal but stupid to the hearing. I am a manchester united fan and will not because of that choose to talk nonsense. Messi is far better than Ronaldo!

    You are repeatedly bleating that Messi can’t play in EPL or for any other club. Your childish nature is clearly visible in the way you abuse. You should clearly note that Messi’s scoring average is better than that of Ronaldo for his national team. I think that this proves he can play anywhere in the world. I actually think you should grow up and believe Messi is better rather than telling others to grow up.

    You are pretty darn stupid in saying that Messi has scored 18 times in classicos compared to Ronaldo’s 10. Work the averages, it comes out to be 2.57 goals per year compared to Ronaldo’s 2.5. So this still tells Messi is better.

    To all others
    Messi used to play as winger until Villa broke his leg.
    Then only Messi started playing as a striker. He has been scoring more than Ronaldo since many years.

    If power is the only factor to be considered for being the best player then ronaldo is better.

    Maybe you are not a very good telepath. Your prediction about me is really stupid and childish (as I said earlier). Your prediction about Messi is the same. Ronaldo didnt score as many goals as he is doing now. I mean his scoring ratio was less than 0.5 at MAN U. He didnt prove anything. Any good striker can do that when he has Giggs and Scholes at peak to support him.
    Why do you want to impose your attitude over me?
    You must be having this attitude of changing your stars. You must have jumped to Ronaldo and since he has still not declined you are just not able to make up your mind that Messi is better.
    Please just don’t keep repeating the same thing. (Especially laughing stupidly). And stop thinking that everyone is like you. Remember that I am neither a Ronaldo fan nor a Neymar fan. Keep your telepathing skills to yourself.

    How will Ronaldo show that he is better when he realy isn’t?
    Real Madrid isn’t just about Ronaldo. It has many other legends.
    One more thing, Barcelona is better than Real Madrid. Have a look at the facts. Barca have won 4 of 5 last LIGA BBVA which means they have consistently been better than Real Madrid over the entire years.

    Dont you remember how he destroyed Milan?
    Dont you remember how he crushed Bayer Leverkusen single-handedly?

    Ok… Tough Debate but i have to agree with Vazz. Messi can only play 433,4312 whereas Ronaldo can play almost all of them. Ronaldo is taller, Ambidextrous, but the thing that kills him is his attitude if not for that Ronaldo would be much, much better than Messi. Also to make good caomparisons you have to see Messi in other clubs hes been at barca way tooooooooooo long. My point is there exactly at same level now, but Ronaldo has way more potential.

    Is Man U wilderness?
    Man U is perhaps one of the best teams in the world.
    Dont you call a player who plays for just one club, who is devoted and loyal to a team which has done so much to him a not so good player?
    Perhaps according to you Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Ramos, Xabi, Shwiensteiger, Giggs, Scholes, Lampard, Terry, Gerrard, Ferdinand are stupid players.
    What stupidness is this?
    I already gave a proof that he can destroy the best teams of the best leagues in the world. Hence, he will have no problem in playing in any league in the world.
    Chillax, Messi used to play as a winger until Villa got injured. Talking about formations its not upto Messi to decide the formation, perhaps it is up to the coach to decide.
    I also told you that Messi has a better scoring average than Ronaldo for Argentina and Portugal respectively.
    Talking about height and power, yes Messi doesnt have that, but Ronaldo too cant dribble, pass, defend and run past defenders like Messi.
    So, its a no brainer that Messi is better than Ronaldo since he is more effective.

    To be comparing both is not fair and a tough job..both hv qualities and own skills..messi has been in the same club since his childhood,so he knows the style of club play and ideas of his team mates like xavi,puyol,pique,andres(iniesta) etc.so its not difficult for him to team up and score cause they are together for last decades..bt ronaldo has been test and tried again and again in different clubs and leagues and he has emerged better and bettter..messi needs to be tested with other clubs before both can be compared.as for their national sides both have nt done much..for barca ronaldinho was the one who took the club from bad phase to dominating force again in world football.so messi enjoyed to join the seniors when the club was enjoying success.bt madrid was struggling after the retiring of the giants like zidane,raul,ronaldo,figo etc.so ronaldo had a task to prove and he did..bt both cant be compared to pele,maradona,zidane ,ronaldinho and other legends coz they are better only in club games and not with the national side…

    Totally agree that it is a hard job to compare both but really its down to your own personal opinion. Therefore you have bias towards one over the other as you’ll favour your choice.
    Personally I prefer Messi as the guy all round is a football player and has remained truly down to earth where as Ronaldo is a fantastic player but to me loves his extravagant lifestyle as much as his football.
    We currently live in a footballing world where you get looked at initially by size, if your not 6ft tall autmatically your not physically capable of the modern demands of the game – untrue as Messi, Xavu & Iniesta have proved.
    The guy earlier who made the comment can’t be Messi as he hasn’t proved it in the EPL, that one made me laugh. THE EPL is hanging onto the 3rd best league in Europe below Spain then Germany while just keeping above Italy.
    The Champions League 2012/2013 proves this!!

    Ronaldo is bigger and stronger than Messi and yet Messi is compared to him, so that means Messi is better. Example, if a 100lb man beats a 250lb man in a fist fight u would say he can fight better than the 250lb man but if it was the other way around u would say the 250lb man took advantage of the 100lb man so with all the advantages Ronaldo has over Messi, Leo still out shines him so what does that tells u

    You have no right to shut me up. I will speak whenever i want and be quiet whenever i like. Why are you just rekindling a fire which has already died down? If you try to do that you will yourself burn in it.(ask Vazz).
    Football is not a one man game, it is a team game. That is what i have been trying to tell these stupid Cristiano Ronaldo fans who think Real Madrid is a one man army.
    For the case of both having different styles i have already said that Ronaldo is more physical but Messi is all skill. Since, Messi’s style is more effective (as records prove) therefore he IS a better player than Ronaldo.
    You are pretty darn stupid (as you are just 13) to repeat the things i had already said.

    Oh come on now… These guys stats are both strong in there own way but it’s a fact that Messi stats are a little bit more stronger. Messi IS the best player in the world, Ronaldo is second. Like I tell many Ronaldo fans is being the 2nd best footballer in the world really that bad that you have to cry about it? They are both “complete” in there own way as they both excel in the areas they are good at. Maybe Ronaldo will beat Messi this year.. Who actually cares.

    Messi is 2 years less than ronaldo,so imagine what will he achieved with in 2 years. He is destroying different records held by differrent legendary players(not ronaldo). In all areas of stats messi is better. Again they are 4 to 1 on ballon d’or, so it is difficult as well as impossible to compare 4 consecutive winner with one time winner(as many footballers.) being one’s fan and accepting the fact are different. I think the issue should be ”is messi the greatest footballer of all time ?” rather than comparing 2 things which have a huge difference. Messi is in another level. One amaizing fool thinking is that messi can’t be successful in another leagues while seeing him destroying the better teams of the other leagues in champions league,which means you are saying, QPR,derby.sundeland,wigan,reading,…. are better than the likes of arsenal, man utd; teams like palermo,genoa,atlana,…. Better than milan. Supper messi again.
