It’s been an unending argument over the years but we may finally have an answer on who is better between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
The two football icons have dominated the sport for more than a decade and have separated themselves from the rest. Between them, they have ten Ballon d’Or with both winning five each while they have also dominated the champions league.
They are currently the top scorers in Europe’s prestigious competition with Ronaldo leading the way with 126 goals followed by his arch rivals who has 112 goals to his name.
On the international scene, however, Ronaldo has the edge over the Argentine superstar as he has two trophies with Portugal while the Messi is still looking for his first senior trophy with La Albisceleste following near misses in three finals.
But despite Ronaldo’s international success, fans of the two rivals have refused to agree that one is better than the other. The debate between the fans of these two “GOATS’ is more intense than when Britain was negotiating for Brexit.
However, a supercomputer may have put an end to the argument. In a study conducted by a group of Belgian analysts, Barcelona star, Lionel Messi is adjudged to be better than the Juventus star.
According to Sporza in Belgium, professors teamed up with a group of Dutch Scientists who came up with what is called Valuing Actions By Estimating Probabilities (VAEP).
The formula according to them, looks at a player’s all-round game and also take into account everything they do both in the defensive and offensive aspect. After looking at this for both Ronaldo and Messi, they came into conclusion that the Argentina captain is better than the Portuguese star.
d computer has virus
lols
The computer was invented by midgets clearly
so be it Messiah is better C Renaldo period
basura
The difference is clear
To hell with the computer, isn’t the computer manufacturer by humans. C7 is the best.
Ronaldo fans
Yes. The machine was created by humans. Cr7 is the best!!!!! The real GOAT
Ona don hear. computer no play wayoo so messi is better
Who so ever that says Messi is better than Rhonaldo is a fool at fourthy. Rhonaldo Is far far better than messi
The fact that u can’t spell ronaldo is giving me a goose bump. Messi is slightly better but i believe ronaldo is a great guy who scores and is decisive same as messi. This people have predicted base on their all round game. It is not thatbyou guys are blind. The difference is clear. How will u be in ur right sense and say ronaldo is far better than messi. What arw ur reasons. Should we say Dani Alves with so many titles than both of them is a better player? Both of them jas no world cup title. Is dabid trezeguet or david villa better. I rest my case… If you like you agree or disagree.
was messi decisive during your 4_0 trumping by liverpool, or d three finals he has lost with his country,Cr7 on the other hand has never lost a final…so next time you want to use the wors DECISIVE, get your facts right
Messi GOAT
There must be a malfunctioning in that computer. Ronaldo is far better than Messi
Don’t cry like baby n accept the fact.
Computer is made by human beings so it can make mistakes, so I can’t believe it.
everything u use in dis life, even d food u eat, is it not produced by human being?
Now don’t argue…Messi is GOAT.
The computer has virus. CR7 always g
GOAT.
Plz for once stop this comparison….Leo is in the league of Maradona and Pele…
You stupid or something????
Only god has the answer
And we all know god answer is cr7
u are right CR 7 is the GOAT
Butthurt cr7 fans lol :p can’t take it
Tah dis is absolutely rubbish… I will never accept dat till I die…
no matter how Guineafowl big reach 2 Patroge are better than him.if u married a women & she born only one child for u I’ll say ur wife s better than the one with both females & males. weather u like it or not CR7S FARE MORE BETTER THAN MESSI.ENGLAND, SPAIN, ITALIAN & SUPPER SON OF Portugal. WHO KNOW MESSI SPAIN BACA FINISHED
Then from ur point of angle Ibrahimovic is better than both of them. Same as Dani Alves.
C. Ronaldo is far better than messi.
What am I even saying? CR7 is More more better than messi
C. Ronaldo is the King of football in General
Even machines are acknowledging it. Every body know the fact but Penaldo fans don’t wnt to admit because of sentiment. Messi is in a league of his own. Case Closed!!!
Messi is a legend but Ronaldo is still better than him
Miss is a GOAT no other competitor, CR7 is just trying he can never be like Messi
Christiano Ronaldo is obviously the best, even in terms of personal, and club
It is audible to the deaf and visible to the blind. But we are all humans and sentiment won’t make us say the truth sometimes.
I just like reading comment when it’s time to choose between Ronaldo and Messi
Ronaldo is far far far far far far fa
r better better better better better better than Messi
Rinaldo is the best compare to Lionel messi.There is no doubt about that.
of course we all know that Messi is better, never doubted it
God himself knows…even without the computer.. that Leo..is forever the Best.⛹️
Ronaldo even Messi is not bothering about who the best is,people are just taking paracetamol for two people palaver.
Messi now &always.. Messi is just an unknown God in football.
They computer is brainless who doesn’t know the worth of cr7 big name
Humans with brain cannot judge from what they experience,now it’s computer that will be the judge for humans,are we moving forward or backward ,
In this World and in World to come CR7 Is the greatest Footballer, And also Better than Messi live it or love
They should Go and Check Heath Mental of that thing they spc
Are we sure that that thing is not messi hand work because even my phone mark messi’s name as wrong spelling so that scp is so confused
People are so senseless compering the great CR7 with that of one way traffic idiomatic so-called messi or what was is name called
Cr7 fans ,I know that it’s not easy for you to face the truth..
christiano Ronaldo is the best as far as im concern, he has proof himself round both in england, spain, portugal his country and at his present club juventus while messi only with his club Barcelona as good as he is he has nothing to show for his country
lolzzz my point exactly
lolzzz messi haters I like both players but you guys are not being fair to messi…he is more successful internationally than ronaldo..he has won under 20 worldcup, he won an Olympic gold medal along with the golden shoe and the golden ball, he came second in the 2014 FIFA world cup (where ronaldo was no where too be found),he has gone to the copa America finals 3 times and also won third place in the copa America 2019, we all know the same cannot be said about ronaldo but first place in the Europa league or Uefa nations cup is nothing compared to second place world cup or an Olympic gold medal….I think we should enjoy both players cus this may never happen again for another 20 years or so
what are you even talking about
Messi has no international trophy period
Useless Error computer analysing rubbish!!!
I am a strong Messi fan, but i think the almighty Christiano Ronaldo is far more better than Lionel Messi who cannot give us ordinary international trophy. Mtchewww!!!
chrsti ajebo is simply the best jooooo no argument anywhere
Messi Is the best player
you are absolutely 200% right
Its not rocket science. Cristiano is not half as good as Messi. Only idiots will think Cristiano is better than Messi
Its,a simple thing, Messi is 2 years 5 months younger, and has played 147 games less,attempted 31 less penalties, yet is greater than Ronaldo in every OVERALL STATISTIC ON EARTH ,not this and that competition alone or this and that time frame alone but OVERALL, EG , assist ???,Messi, head to head OVERALL, Messi, goal to game ratio MESSI ,goals from open play ,Messi ,penalty goals RONALDO, titles OVERALL Messi again.
C RONALDO IS TRAPPED, ON EVERY COMPLICATED FORMULA HE COOKS UP ,ITS EITHER MESSI IS GREATER THAN HIM ,OR 900 OTHER PEOPLE IN FOOTBALL HISTORY ARE GREATER THAN HIM, WIKIPEDIA ENSURES THAT,even his euro cup from the bench argument, and 2 games only in uefa nations league a friendly cup arguments , makes him more of a laughing stock among great footballing nations ,THEIR FANS EXPOSE THE TRUTH FOR THE WORLD TO SEE, MESSI FANS WANT TO COUNT EVERY THING, WHILE RONALDO FANS WANT TO SELECT WHAT TO COUNT AS IF THEY OWN HISTORY OR CALCULATIONS ,if you want a laugh just ask the 1)Ronaldo fan you can find,IS DEMBELE WITH A WORLD CUP FROM THE BENCH, GREATER THAN C RONALDO???, LOL, AND WATCH THE CHANGE OF LOGIC UNFOLD,Also ask a Ronaldo logic changer ,IF VAN GAL WHO WON 17 TITLES IN DIFFERENT CLUBS ,IS NOW GREATER THAN ALEX FERGI WHO WON A WORLD RECORD 45 TITLES IN ONE CLUB ????,and watching the logic changing chameleons entertain you into laughter.
Heaven and Earth knows that Lionel Messi is more better than Cristiano Ronaldo there is no doubt about it.
brethren in my own view Messi is far better than C Ronaldo
Messi is the best no argument
Most people that posted their recommendations are not matured in mind, they write abusive words just bc of someone that doest know then. I thought it should be much of fun that abuse and embarrassment, so let mind what we write in a case like this. To my own opinion CHRISTIANO RONALDO is better that Lionel Messi, Record has proven it. CR7 has beaten messi in all record, both are attacking and scoring player which is the main essence(ie GOALS), highest goal scorer of all time, champions league highest goal scorer, highest hat trick, highest hat trick with head number of champions league hat trick, highest goal scored with head, highest goal scored with less powered leg, number of league proven himself, number of trophies, number of international trophies, number of assist, even skills. CR7 is higher in all of these records. However LIONEL has even said it that RONALDO is better than him, its in YOUTUB. RONALDO is more complete player than LIONEL, CR7 is better on air and has two power legs. CHRISTIANO RONALDO is the best player in the world.
I don’t know what u guys See, that makes u think Ronaldo is better, but u can not be more accurate than all this football pundits that come up with this results,
Messi all the way
even computer knows that Lionel messi is better than cr7, If you want to doubt your father reply me. because you know pass computer abi.
I give it to CR7 u don’t understand what it takes to change teams and still leave up to expectations. let leo try another club let all of us watch.
Some people won’t still accept the fact

Cr7 is better than Messi Ronaldo have played for many clubs but remain in barca what is computer
as for me Rinaldo has played in different club with different people he has not too long played with but messi has only played in a single club.
check your rating
that’s just the fact , the computer is 100% right . up LEO MESSI
The group believed their computer while I believe my eyes, I am not a student that only believe the teacher, I do my own research too. My own outcome says Ronaldo is better. End of discussion.
in all ramification Christiano Ronaldo is far better than Messi, Messi should try and leave Barca to face a new challenge and let see the outcome. CR7 you’re the best sir
The world will one day agree that Ronaldo is better than Messi, and that Messi is the greatest cheat in football.
cr7 is better than messi
lm10 is d best
this thing is very simple, Messi is far far better than Ronaldo.Take it or leave it
to be sincerely, they are the best pair of the decade of football history, but I can see Messi scoring two distinction in dribling and pass four credits in other talents three passes in leg,air and one league challenge, while Ronaldo scoring two distinction in scoring and faster, six credits in other two pass in dribling passes, sorry, minority may accept my nine talents rating view, THANKS
Computer is operated by human beings and garbage in, Barbarella out thing. In view of this, the professor and his team who conducted the research may have made mistake in feeding the computer with information. This is because Messi have been in Barcelona football team on this while and you see any time he moves out of Barcelona team he stops to shine but C7 shines in every team he fines himself. C7 is the best. The and computer made a mistake.
Messi all the way like it or not.
The fact is that even Ronaldo himself knows that Messi is the real GOAT
Common sense is not common at all,can’t u See,count the total percentage of people supporting ronaldo on this forum,dis simply means that ronaldo is far far better than messi… Even twitter followers alone speaks volume of who is the best between Ronaldo vs Messi..Ronaldo has some pretty big-name followers including Lil Wayne, Jack Dorsey (as in the CEO of Twitter), Usain Bolt and so on… How can a professor and 10 scholars be greater than 80Million Fans…. Please wake up
No be the yeye computer predicted that Juventus will face cristiano Ronaldo in the last season ucl final,because the computer itself knew, possibly Ronaldo could take Juventus to ucl final,and Messi could also take Barca to ucl final,that was what the computer guess and it failed,garage in garage out,so it is now the stupid computer that predicted who the best between the duo,yeyenatu.
I like both of them, realistically speaking cr7 is better,he has always proving himself in club and international engagement,again he proved himself by moving to a new club and still shines,let Messi leave Barca too to prove his worth if he’s just as good I Will become his fan but for now it is Ronaldo all the way.
Ronaldo is the best. Messi is a cheat, only good at barca.can win a trophy for us. He plays well, dribbles more than ronaldo… But he only plays well at Barça, while Ronaldo plays well in all team. Assuming Messi won d World Cup 2014, he will be greater than Ronaldo and there will be no competition. But Ronaldo used his chances very well, motivate the players around him. So I’d chose him over Messi.. Both are good but one uses his charisma and believe to make things perfect cr7….
am better by far
The computer was created by human what so ever they say about messi and CR7 is not true cus they both have what it takes to be the best nothing like one is better than one God created them both in a blink of eye he can also tale them bark nobody is better than anybody
that is not possible Ronaldo remain the best
Both players are good in their own right, Ronaldo is more of a leader than Messi, Messi controls the game more than Ronaldo, Ronaldo has more positive positioning than Messi, Messi is more of an all round player than Ronaldo, Ronaldo is a better attacker than Messi, people comparing FIFA World Cup 2nd place to Euro, have it in mind that Ronaldo’s Portugal played the World Cup winner France, and won them, Ronaldo has more Sportsmanship attitude than Messi.
In conclusion, my brother, you can’t compare the caliber of players, in Portugal to Argentina, Argentina has better and experienced players than Portugal, obviously, talking about Euro and World Cup, why not compare Euro and copa America, which is more competitive, Portugal has won Euro, Messi has won copa America, Olympic Games are not competitive games, know what you say. I’m still in love with both players, so therefor, for me both of them are the best.
pls let the computer analyse why and how Messi will fair compared to Ronaldo outside Barcelona
People tend to mix up individual accolade to team successes.Messi have always been d best football individual to have graced the football pitch.He’s the most naturally gifted footballer of all time even the football greats acknowledges it.He’s overall understanding of the game is just overwhelming and goal scoring prowess is second to none.As for Ronaldo he is a good footballer but not endowered as Messi.Inside him he knows that himself which rest d argument.
Messi is d best oooooo
messi best of d bests
Ronaldo is better
how can a one league player be better than a player that have conquered in four different league….including his native home……abeg make una stop the dream CR7 is a king everywhere even in Nigeria NPFL he will thrive
To b frank wit u cr7 is d best of all time. Any body who is saying dat Messi is beta dan cr7 d person is fooling his/her self. Cr7 has done a great job in both England, Spain,italy and his country Portugal. Let me bring it to ur notice dat cr7 has won so many cups and award in different countries and club but Messi is still battling to get one outside bacelona team.
messi is the best ever
Hahahahaha search for king of football on the internet the number one person there is @PELE OF BRAZIL second person is @LIONEL MESSI @CR7 IS NOT EVEN THIRD ON THAT LIST NOT EVEN FOURTH SO WHY calling him best over MESSI??
