So, as you can see, not only has Messi had fewer seasons as a player, but he scores more, assists more, contributes to goals on average more and has better goal per game rate, has won more trophies he's entered. Ronaldo, however, is superior in one stat; he has a 0.56 goal ratio for Portugal while Messi is only 0.50. It is literally, factually and statistically true, with empirical evidence, that Messi is a better player than Ronaldo. They're both insanely good players it just so happened Ronaldo is playing in a generation with Messi. Lets drop this fucking 'debate' because there isn't one

*destroys Huesca and Las Palmas with hat tricks*
*chokes against your Romas so he doesn’t have to play the big boy games where he’d be scoreless and fuck up his average stats while looking like a toddler next to Chadnaldo*
Ah yes, the unstopabble Messoy...

Playing this meme doesn't work because I'll just go 'Ignore penalties'. I've literally provided you with concrete facts and stats and you're arguing with empirical evidence. This isn't like comparing Ronaldo and Pele, with different rules and shit, this is comparing two similar aged players who played in the same rule era and thus everything is fair.

>The only big boy games is CL Ro16 and QF games because Ronnie chokes in the semis and finals
Ah yes, the unstoppable Chadnaldo who has to be carried by fucking Bale when he chokes
Jacob Flores
Just watch them both. Messi is way better.
Jayden Jenkins
I watched Ronaldo win 5 champions league titles
David Torres
You mean Bale, Ramos and the refs gifting them to him
Jack Sullivan
2009: misses the only pen in the shoot out, nearly costs his team the game
2014: saved by Ramos, carried by Di Maria
2016: does nothing
2017: does well tbf
2018: carried by Bale and murderball
And let's not forget his amazing Euro win where he spent 10 minutes actively ruining his teams performance by refusing to be subbed off and the next 70 camera hogging on the bench
Jeremiah Long
I watched ronaldo lose a CL final to Messi
OH NO NO NO NO NO HOW CAN YOU RECOVER AHAHAHAH OH NO NO NO NO NO LOOK AT HIM LOOK AT HIM AND LAUGH LOOK AT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD AHAHAHAHAH
