8 Reasons Why Ronaldo is Better than Messi

Think we’re crazy for proclaiming that Ronaldo
is better? Check out the argument for Messi
being the best!
Ronaldo or Messi. Like Maradona or Pele before
them, it is the argument for the ages when it
comes to modern football fans. Both players
score more goals in one season than most
enjoy in a whole career and comparing them on
this alone can sometimes be a fruitless task.
Getting beyond those initial goal numbers is
the key, and helps to show why Ronaldo, and
not Messi, is the fun packed player that any
team cannot do without. I mean, why would
you want the modern day sensible man’s Pele
when you can have the excitement and
unpredictability of 2014’s Maradona? Exactly.
8. Ronaldo Has More
International Goals
When it comes to Lionel Messi and his national
team, it rarely “works” – the polar opposite of
the kind of impact Ronaldo has had for
Portugal. This is most notably obvious when the
goals column is compared. Messi has hit the
back of the net 37 times in 83 caps and as
you’ll find out, most of these have not been in
games that count for much. Ronaldo, on the
other hand, is one off his half century (49
goals) in 110 caps, and four of his most recent
goals directly influenced his country’s path into
the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
