No they are biased though, if you can't see that then you are blinded by your own bias. If everyone at United and in Portugal came out saying Ronaldo was the best i wouldn't be surprised, would anyone?
I'm sure everyone at Liverpool would say Gerrard is the best just like everyone at Inter would say Ibrahimovic is the best. It's very easy to big up your own, i'm sure i've heard Fergie comment on Messi and other players, he rates Ibrahimovic very highly and after the games against Barca he was full of praise for Messi but being a very smart man it's hardly productive to say that he thinks Messi is better when Ronaldo plays for his team is it? Can you not understand that?
You bring up SAF and Eusabio, i could easily bring up anyone at Barca from the president to the Manager to the fans and i could bring up anyone in Argentina from Maradona to Tevez.
Actually i'm quite sure plenty of Portuguese would now say Messi is better, Ronaldo has been average for portugal recently and took a lot of stick in the press there. Where as you just have to look through the list of people who claim Messi is better in argentina. When did Eusabio say Ronaldo was better anyway?
The list of people backing Messi is far greater than Ronaldo, maybe not always but now it is unquestionable and it's stupid to argue otherwise. Ronaldo is a great player but we are talking about a once in a generation player in Messi.
What a crock of shit. Messi is playing in a defensively week league. Until he can perform in his current level against teams like United or Chelsea then he'll never be this "once in a generation player" that you preach.
Best player in the world he may be, but he's doing nothing that hasn't been done in far more impressive leagues.
