There is no doubt whatsoever that Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are the two greatest players of this generation. Thus, it is no surprise that fans argue continuously as to who the better player is.
Today we will be enlisting the reasons why Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Lionel Messi :
1. Cristiano Ronaldo is a more complete player than Lionel Messi
Both Messi and Ronaldo are capable of spectacular things on the ball, but what sets Ronaldo apart and makes him the more complete player is his incredible heading ability.
2. International success :
Lionel Messi might have won every club trophy there is to win, but if there is one trophy lacking in his stellar CV, it is a trophy with Argentina. Until Messi manages to win a trophy with the talented Argentina side, Ronaldo will always hold an edge over him in any debate.
3. Ronaldo is a more prolific goalscorer than Lionel Messi :
The ultimate aim of football is to score goals and the ultimate goal scorer of this generation is Cristiano Ronaldo. The only player in the history of the sport to win the golden shoe 4 times is one and only Ronaldo.
Research your articles better before you write them. Messi has won a world cup for Argentina (go figure) and is a more prolific goalscorer than Ronaldo (he has 10% more goals per total games played than Ronaldo)
