I think there's no doubt right now that Messi is the better player.
Cristiano has had some incredible seasons where he has been the best but he's on the decline now. Numbers don't account for everything in football but for a player so obsessed and defined by them this year he's been pretty lacklustre.
That said it's partly down to the fact that Zidane persists with the BBC upfront which highlights the growing deficiencies in Ronaldo's game now he's getting older.
Play him up front or just off the striker and he'll continue banging them in even if his net contribution in a game goes down to nothing aside from the goal he'll inevitably score.
weird how "inevitably scoring" comes off in this post as if its a minor contribution, almost dismissed/glossed over.
That said, I have to ask all the Ronaldo fanboys out here... Is it not blatantly obvious that there's gigantic gap between the passing and dribbling abilities of Messi and Ronaldo
if there's a gap, it's not gigantic imo
