LOOOOOL my man made a thread having 0 clue about the game, but accepting it's a Messi twerk is a good start.
You just can't deny that Messi NEVER had to track back as much as Ronaldo under Ferguson or under Mourinho.
Having interceptions =/= tracking back

Also, you didn't even mention ONCE the style of play of the system he plays in, which is literally the key to understand the thread, having a bit of knowledge about it.
Barcelona provides Messi an incredible amount of balls and space per game, anyone with eyes can see it.

That's why people like to see the overall stats, ignore the context and say: "Messi has more key passes", maybe because he gets more chances to provide them per game?
Ronaldo has to literally make something similar with fewer touches and chances to influence per game.

And tracking back not always is possible to measure with stats, because it's a tactical movement of the team. But you know that the physical effort in defense exists right? Something that, exactly as I said, Messi NEVER experienced in his WHOLE career.
And yes, Ronaldo wasted his best physical prime, which was 2010-2011-2012. He faced the best Barcelona team EVER with Lass Diarra, Khedira or even Pepe in midfield.
And the best Spain team EVER with this garbage.

The company gor better? Yes. But list me the 5 best players of the last 15 years. For me Ronaldo, Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Neymar/Suarez are clear. Guess what, 4 of them played together.
The debate about the company actually ends when we look at the style of play and the team of the legendary Spain that won 2 Euros and 1 WC. Why wouldn't they win a CL without Messi too? Wait, in 2006 something like that happened. END of another thread for the history books.
