Ronaldo has won the Champions League the most of all time with 5 and Messi has won the competition 4 times. Ronaldo holds loads of records in the UCL including Most goals,Most assists, Most wins, Most titles and all these extra ones in the image so pretty much every record.
(2) International

Ronaldo carried his team to the final in euro 2016 but a lot of Ronaldo haters try to downplay how good he was in the tournament when Ronaldo had 3 goals and 2 assists in the euros.
Ronaldo was the top scorer of the nations league when Portugal won that. Ronaldo is also one of the only players to ever score in 4 different world cups. Ronaldo has 7 World Cup goals vs Messiās 6 and 3 of Ronaldoās 7 came against Spain in the 2018 World Cup.
Ronaldo is Portugalās top scorer with 99 goals and he is on track to have the most international goals ever
Messi is Argentinaās top goal scorer although he has 68 international goals vs Ronaldoās 99.
(3) Different Leagues.
Ronaldo has played in 3 of the top leagues in the world where Messi has only played in 1. Ronaldo has played in the Premier League in England, the La Liga in Spain and the Serie A in Italy where Messi has only played in the La Liga.

(4) Messiās arguments
These are Messiās arguments for being the greatest of all time:
ā¢He has 1 more Ballon Dāor
ā¢Heās a better playmaker
These are Messiās arguments for being the greatest of all time:
ā¢He has 1 more Ballon Dāor
ā¢Heās a better playmaker
ā¢He has 1 more Ballon Dāor
Messi has won 6 ballon Dāors vs Ronaldoās 5 but Ronaldo should also have 6. Everybody knows that Ronaldo got robbed from getting his Ballon Dāor in 2018 which went to Modric so Messi and Ronaldo should be equal on 6 Ballon Dāors

ā¢Heās a better playmaker
I agree that Messi is a better playmaker than Ronaldo.

ā¢He has a better goal scoring ratio
Messi has a better goal scoring ratio because Ronaldo was playing as a right midfielder for Man Utd in the premier league which is probably the hardest league for 5 years.
Messi has a better goal scoring ratio because Ronaldo was playing as a right midfielder for Man Utd in the premier league which is probably the hardest league for 5 years.
Also during that time Ronaldo was still very young and Ronaldo grew into the player he is today after a couple of years where Messi pretty much came into the league as good as he is now.
Messi has been in La Liga for his whole career and in that league Ronaldo played 292 games and has scored 311 goals which means if Ronaldo played in the La Liga for his whole career Ronaldo would have over 900 goals

āHeās a bad playmakerā
I said that Messi is a better playmaker than Ronaldo but he definitely isnāt a bad playmaker.Yes he does less play making now than he used to because heās getting older but he is still very good at it.He was especially really good at it when he was younger

(6)Criticisms of Messi
āHe goes missing in big gamesā
I disagree with this because yes he has gone missing in big games but he has played unbelievably some of them. Thereās lots of examples where he has performed brilliantly in very big games.

āHe stat pads against bad teamsā
I agree with this although heās hardly just going to play bad against the small teams like he just does what heās supposed to do. If u disagree with this just look at this from @prfootbaII

āHeās really bad for Argentinaā
I disagree with this to be honest because yes he hasnāt been great for Argentina but heās still been decent. Heās their top scorer and heās had great tournaments but he just choked in the finals of them.

(7) Big Game Player
Ronaldo is considered to be the best or one of the best ābig game playersā by most people and here is why
Ronaldo is considered to be the best or one of the best ābig game playersā by most people and here is why
He is the only ever player to score in 3 different ucl finals and heās the top scorer in ucl finals with 4. Also look at this Image for champions league goals in the quarterfinals semifinals and finals
Ronaldo nearly always scores in the games against his rivals for example he has 25 goals vs athletico Madrid and 18 goals against Barcelona 2 of his biggest rivals while he was playing for Real Madrid
Thereās too many examples to choose from so I thought I would pick an example from all of his clubs and from Portugal
ā¢Man Utd: UCL final 2008 Ronaldo scored Unitedās only goal and played unbelievably vs Chelsea to win his first UCL
ā¢Man Utd: UCL final 2008 Ronaldo scored Unitedās only goal and played unbelievably vs Chelsea to win his first UCL
ā¢Real Madrid: There is so many to choose from but UCL final 2017 where Ronaldo scores twice and imo itās the best any player has ever played in a ucl final
ā¢Juventus: Atletico Madrid second leg of the ucl last year he scored a hattrick to bring Juve back from 2-0 down on aggregate and into the next round
ā¢Portugal: Euro 2016 semi final where he got a goal and an assist to carry Portugal to the final.
