Evidence: According to Dr Ian Graham, the outgoing director of research at Liverpool FC “The difference is that Messi is also a world-class attacking midfielder,” he added. “The chances he creates for his teammates are an order of magnitude greater than Ronaldo. Messi does two jobs brilliantly. Ronaldo does one job brilliantly. That’s the difference.”

Explanation: This suggests that Messi is better than Ronaldo as Messi can do 2 jobs by himself and Ronaldo can only do 1 job.

Link: This evidence shows Messi is better than Ronaldo at playing football.

According to FIFA and the physical stats of Ronaldo, “The incredible physic of Ronaldo helps him not only for women, but for his career in Football.”

This means, that all the status of Ronaldo, explain how he scores really difficult goals, he did the highest head goal in the history, also his physic helps him to do really good bicycle kick, which Messi can’t really do. His physic helps him to get really important trophies, like champions.

Evidence: According to Howzat.com, “Ronaldo has scored a record number of international goals and appearances”

Explanation: This means that Ronaldo has a significant number of goals that helped him to win important trophies individually and for his team, like 5 Champions.

In conclusion, Ronaldo’s physic and number of goals has a really important impact in his football carrer, for scoring goals and getting trophies.

According to Steemit.com , “  Ronaldo might be a goal scorer- but Messi adds the word “Perpetual” before it. Scoring 91 goals in a single season is a feat that Ronaldo can only dream of achieving- even in Real Madrid where players look up onto him of being the #9 and the #7 player of the team as well (#9=poacher, #7=talented / trickster). Messi has more free kick goals than Ronaldo! Messi used to play in the false 9 position back in Pep Guardiola days- which made him a playmaker and a poacher- both!“

The important thing to notice is that not a single player in world has barely touched Messi’s record that let alone scored more goals than Ronaldo in two less years of experience and overall time in the year since Ronaldo is older. An important thing to note is that Messi also has the most trophies out of any football player ever he has thirty eight major trophies.

According to quora.com , “ Messi never dives and doesn’t fake being injured by other players he always gets up. Messi is a very team player he is known for his assists and building up the play with his teammates. Ronaldo is very selfish. He keeps the ball to himself and has very little assists.”

This article shows that Messi is not selfish and tries to be fair. He is a respected player for this. He helps his teammates and builds up the attack with his whole team. In conclusion Messi is better than Ronaldo as a football player and as a person.

Explanation: The evidence, supports how much important are Messi’s skills than Ronaldo’s physic. Messi average of goals demonstrates that he is better, even when his physic is worst. All of this helps Messi not also in his team, but in his individual career, winning more Ballon d'Or. Those who believe that Messi is better than Ronaldo clam that talent is more important (always that you know how to use it) is better than hard works. Ronaldo’s physic can in a certain way to help his individual carrer, but they don’t consider that it helps in specific moments.

Evidence: according to Allfootballapp.com., “Messi is more of a well-rounded footballer than Ronaldo as his playmaking skills are pretty much on par with his goalscoring ability. In 805 appearances across all competitions in his club career, Messi has picked up 315 assists. Meanwhile, Ronaldo has provided 231 assists in 929 appearances across all competitions”

Explanation: This evidence supports my claim of who is better because it demonstrates the contribution to his team doing a lot of assistances more than Ronaldo.

Link: In conclusion, Messi is better than Ronaldo cause his talent, and not physic, that doesn’t help too much in a football career and how Messi contributes more to his team than Ronaldo. Also, the evidence and opinion of the people disproves Ronaldo’s claim and evidence.

Morgan also claims that Ronaldo should have had two more Ballon d'Ors to take his tally to seven.

On X, he wrote: "Messi preposterously winning the Ballon d’Or this year is yet more proof that the whole ‘Golden Ball’ system is rigged.”

This proves that Basems claims are false and are backed up by weak evidence.

Evidence: Messi has won the Ballon d'Or, awarded to the best player in the world, more times than Ronaldo. As of 2024, Messi has won it seven times, while Ronaldo has won it five times.

Evidence: Messi's playmaking skills are unparalleled. He consistently ranks among the top players in terms of assists. His vision and ability to create scoring opportunities for his teammates set him apart from Ronaldo, who is primarily known for his goal-scoring prowess.

Explanation: Messi's overall contribution to the game extends beyond just scoring goals. His ability to dribble past multiple defenders, create chances, and provide key passes makes him a more complete player. While Ronaldo is an exceptional goal scorer, Messi's all-around game and his ability to influence matches in multiple ways make him the better player. This combination of scoring, assisting, and playmaking demonstrates why many consider Messi superior.

Evidence 2: Ronaldo has proven himself in 4 different clubs in 4 different leagues. While Messi has only played for just two clubs in his career (Barcelona and PSG) and has found a comfort zone from which he is not willing to come out.

Link: This shows how Ronaldo's physic helps him get the edge on Messi in football games and makes him arguably better than Messi.
