I'm not going to go in to detail but I will say this.

Statistics dont lie. Just send messi the award now and spare ronaldo the trip to zurich.

Its a one horse race

Messi actually wins more duels than ronaldo, did not expect that at all

Very interesting statistics!

yeah I know.. Also the fact that ronaldo has scored just 1 more goal from outside the box came as a surprise to me as most people use ronaldos shot from distance as an argument when discussing which of the two is better.

hard to find a statistic where Messi is worse than either cr7/iniesta

then again they have diffrent positions and roles

ronaldo plays as a winger so he should have a higher cross %, more assists etc etc..

he doesnt fyi

right footed on left side, all players playing diffrently with diffrent roles

Dude, when will you learn, there is no arguing with idiots.

im sorry forgot that its impossible to open some ppls mind :/

Nono what you say is false. Messi scores quite a lot from outside the box, this will only be 1 meter or less. Ronaldo can shoot from the half way line and cause trouble. The argument stands.
