20–30 years down the line I don't think any fan of the sport would rate Ronaldo over Messi; a gap of 3 Ballon d'Ors, 2 European GBs, 2 Golden Balls, the Eye Test, and the World Cup is ridiculous.
(🌕) “On Messi’s schedule there’s 30th October, Paris, Ballon d’Or gala and the expectation is very clear for Leo Messi. We’ll see what’s going to happen.. Messi is ready for that gala and important opportunity.”

Even today no one rates him higher other than his fans for footballing reasons. When u hear casuals talk about him it's more about hardwork, everyone supposedly being against him and bla bla
@Zenitfr2
Without WC, it will be v v hard for Ronnie to survive test of time. UCLs are nice n all but Maradona and Pele are remembered for WCs, and Messi wouldn't be any different.
@Zenitfr2
Who cares about a couple of Ballon D'ors more here. The Eye Test alone is a HUGE GAP between the two , Messi is WAY better in every aspect.
Josef Bican was the record holder of 805 goals in total and nobody even mentions him in the GOAT convo
@Zenitfr2
To be remembered one needs-
1) World Cup with golden ball .
2) Balon dors.
Ronaldo has 5 Balon dors. So yeah people will remember him along with Pele, Messi, Maradona
@Zenitfr2
Bro the eye test is enough, Ronaldo fans don't realize that people that didn't watch them will go to YouTube to look for their videos, no sane human being will watch Ronaldo and think he's better than or even close to Messi
@Zenitfr2
UCL: Ronaldo>Messi
World Cup: Messi>Ronaldo
Top5 Leagues: Ronaldo>Messi
Rest of World Leagues: Ronaldo>Messi
Euro/Copa: Ronaldo>Messi (Euro much harder btw)
don’t agree with your statement at all
@Zenitfr2
Unfortunatelly the eye test for future generations will not work since in a compilation even a poacher like Pendu looks awesome. We have all witnessed how Bad he Was at Juventus, stillt the compilations looks really good. Whatever, stats and World Cup trophys will explain
@Zenitfr2
World Cup was blatantly rigged. This will be confirmed in the next 20 years when nobody cares about it anymore. Even as a neutral in the Ronaldo Messi debate it was obvious they wanted Messi to win
Balon dor is just a popularity contest so no surprise Messi has won more
