Like for both Messi and Ronaldo because they're levels above anyone else
Tayyab Hussain
Agree. Both out of this world. There should be a separate trophy for the player who comes 3rd in the Ballon d'Or, simply because these 2 are a joke
Your Mum too! 😎
Bakayoko is better

Noir FIFA I prefer lovren
Its actually insane how no one else comes close to Messi and Ronaldo.
some have potential tho
absolutely not.
Yes some have potential
neymar, kane, lewan, aguero, salah etc are all miles behind those two.
As long as they are still playing no one will be in the spotlight from what we have seen from the past decade. Look at Neymar, he's already 26 and in his prime and still to win a ballon d'or, whereas Messi And CR won ballon d'or by the time they were 22-23. This is in a way quite saddening....
Chance the Rapper only Mbappe could come close tbh
They both are amazing, I am happy to have been born in the same era as CR7 and LM10
Don’t ever say lm10 again
Lil Icey LM10.
Hydraulic Aqua call him Alien, he’s not from this world
LM 10 😂😂😂

As a huge Messi fan, that goal was out of this world and put an absolutely massive smile on my face. We're lucky to be watching the two greatest to ever do it.
subbyboy7 Everyone who knows about football knows that the two greatest ever to be are The King Pele and Maradona! The new generation is so delusional!Messi and Ronaldo even don't come close!

They’re both great, how about that.

King Rooney how bout no. Ronaldo is miles better than Messi.
That's literally what they said in the video.
Run Ronaldo Run #THEBESTINTHEWORLD yes he's 33 and messi is 30😂
They're Gods amongst men.
between cash me outside how bou dae 😂😂😂 I'm sorry mate !!
People havent realised theyre both in their 30’s. It wont last for too long. Enjoy the moment
Dan Robert I think Cristiano can keep his for for a solid 2 seasons more, however after that he will probably leave for something like the chinese league or something to build his brand and start preparing his life after his footballing carreer is over.
I have no idea aboit Messi tho
Miguel Pereira nah
2 years later they are still playing at the highest level
@@miguelpereira9859 Ronaldo has always and will always silence his haters/ cynics. He has proved them wrong countless number of times still they don't stop. He's scored his 100th international goal at age 35 and the only European to do that.

0:36 Maya Jama vs Jorja Smith
I was waiting for this 😂😂😂
@@pfchim2012 maya jama was more famous starting out, she said stormzy would just sit at home whilst she was presenting at the start
Maya is clear
CR7 is absolutely unbelievable, but from watching Messi singlehandedly tear apart Real Madrid, Bayern, city, Chelsea etc. he is out of this world
Edit - not hating on ronaldo, think he’s great, but I just like Messi’s style of play more myself, just my own opinion that’s all
Manan Patel Ronaldo has done this aswell lol
yh ronaldo has done it aswell
Ronaldo is goalscorer messi is a dribbler, passer and goalscorer
Yh ronaldo has done it as well but they r both the best they are both unbelievable footballers
Both have destroyed every team u listed
2 legends, personally like Messi more but can't deny Ronaldo's greatness.
The day Messi & Ronaldo retires
The Entire Football Community will weep
Why can't today just be about Ronaldo? Why must the other always be brought up? I'd say the same if it were Messi.
cant agree more. that is what i always say when messi scored the goal in the 2-2 draw i didnt see anyone mention ronaldo but, as soon as ronaldo plays well they praise him too much and brings messi's name into this
Totally agree. It's infuriating. As if one has to be mentioned for the other to be appreciated.
Abdul Ahmadi
They also brought up Cr7 after Messi's performance against Chelsea
Eddie Shady yeah that was a great moment
Eddie Shady likely the top CL goal this year. Likely one of the top CL goals ever. And of course likely his top CL goal
I use to be in that " messi vs ronaldo " stage but as I grew up I realized it doesnt matter. We all have our own favorite players but they're both fantastic players that unfortunately are coming to an end of their time and it's just heartbreaking. My goal is to travel from California, USA to spain and witness messi play at the camp at least once before he retires. Just enjoy these two players
I was in that stage that doesn’t matter, messi is the goat, and ronaldo is the goat, but now change my mind after messi goes to psg. I think we all know who is the real goat
forget comparisons, tommorow they'll be singing a dfferent tune
PSL FAN TV with Messi playing against Roma? Hai sbale, Roma aint no Juventus and he did it in Turin!
Primus Ladesh Juventus who barely beat tottenham?
Ball is life Your right. Tottenham won the We pushed Juventus to the limit cup.
Juventus were thrashed in the group stage by Barcelona.
the same tottenham that beat real 3-1 and drew in the bernabeu 5 months ago
Both are amazing but I’d say personally that Ron is the better athlete whilst Messi is the most talented footballer ever.
OCFootball_29 after maradona and george best
Ronaldo is the best "fox in the box" i have ever seen. His knack for scoring goals is just insane and i think that is talent too.
dcws maradona and George best are not on their level. LMAOO
OCFootball_29 👍🏼
Shawn Chia It is talent from Ron. I mean people always call his goals easy tap ins. But that's because he makes it look so easy. My question to those people is that if goal poaching is so easy, then why isn't there another forward in the world who has scored so many goals as Ronaldo has by being a goal poacher. I mean apparently it's so easy. They forget this man has impeccable timing, vision, movement, and of course finishing. Also, it's like he knows where the ball will be, which makes it extremely difficult for a defender(s) to mark him. His bicycle kick vs Juve is the perfect example. By the time De Sciglio read the play, Ronaldo was already in mid air.
I think Messi is the best but we need to respect and cherish Ronaldo right now. He is older than Messi and he will retire first and we will miss this man when he’s gone.
Omi Wan i dont think Ronaldo will retire earlier than Messi! Ronaldos strength,body and condition is remarkable! He will easily play until he's like 40-41. Mark my words.
My thoughts exactly, plus his will and determination are greater IMO
36-38
nonsense. CR7 is better in every way
Love Spreader tell me in what way?
i remember watching this match live at 2 am (asia). i woke up everyone in my home. i'll never forget that moment
it's really nice to see everyone appreciating both of them and not fighting who's better.
Messi does something eye-catching: "Greatest of all time! No question!"
Ronaldo does something insane: "Just enjoy both players"
Micro Aggressor yeah scored an bicycle kick .....wooowoo.....happy.....
yeah totally this is the first time someone has scored a bicycle kick. Why nobody talk about Bale's in the final??
Because Messi does the insane regularly, whilst Ronaldo does it once a season. When he does his insane they can't say Ronaldo is better.
@Rehaan Aamir Absolute Bullshit
@The King yh
I love how they all say “stop the comparisons” yet this is a Madrid game. Why are they bringing up Messi anyway? They should be looking at Ronaldo’s performance
Theyre GOATS. And they will be missed. Its sad. I dont think anyone in the future can come close to them. Even before them, there werent players like them
"stop comparing them, just enjoy." that's so true!
I've noticed whenever messi does something the media praises him to the max, when ronaldo does it, its time to appreciate them both
Alade Ogun yeah cuz its not just rational to say ronaldo is better
It's because Messi dominates football matches and pulls his team through everything whether that's Barcelona or Argentina. That makes everything he does more extraordinary. Ronaldo is a very very good player dont get me wrong but is a goal scorer and has possibly the best squad around him which makes Messi's feat much better and the pundits and media recognise it.
@@chriskay8156 Messi has never one anything with Argentina. Messi has never been tested outside of Barca. Messi has never played for a team that isn't amazing quality. Messi does not perform in big game like Ronaldo does.
@@IV_97 hhahhah which small team did Ronaldo play for😂😂😂
@@mulisaishmail8441 Lisbon
Enjoy both respect both cause one is 33 other will be 31 this year and soon when they will retire all of us will cry
They are both on next level. Both are great. Respect that.
I was watching the game at home with my dog and when the 2nd goal went in I honestly gasped WTF out loud. No one there to hear it, just a spontaneous reaction of utter disbelief. It was surreal that moment. The crowd fell silent, Ronaldo was somewhat subdued himself, the commentator was struggling... And then came the applause from the Juve fans. Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. One of my favourite UCL moments ever.
This is the best discussion on the subject i've ever heard. Clear, balanced and respectful of both. They are both god tier of world football and thats all that needs to be said and recognised.
We’re blessed to be in this era of Ronaldo and Messi these guys having been battling it out for the past decade it’s just insane there in there 30s and by far there better then the rest of the competition
Once in a lifetime athletes just have to Appreciate both.
Neither, Heskey is the best in the world
tiagovalen dead joke now lmao
Say hi to 2012 for me
This comment back in 2012 would already have 500 likes

Nathan Delfouneso
They've been incredible for 10+ years. Absolute legends
Personally, I’m just grateful to be able to watch both during my lifetime right now! The football world will never see anything like this ever again.
Messi 🐐 anytime
Applaud for Ronaldo's second goal though 👏
Messi is the not even 2nd
Andre Steward Well yeah, he's first. Obviously.
Sassy the Sasquatch - he will never even past maradona let alone pele and CR7
Andre Stewart Awww bless ya x
They are only comparable as goalscorers... as overall footballers Messi stands alone at the top.
johan cruijff Very true.
true
Mainly due to their height. As a tall guy Ronaldo can't keep that balance with the ball as Messi does. However, still as a youngster Cristiano used to be extremely good at dribbling, speed, long shots, free kicks all that. Both are the greatest of all time.
Truely put it my friend. Ronaldo only scores n nothing more. N if he dont score then there is nothing much more abt him these days. Bt messi is joy n bueaty n elegancy. He moves the whole team
He made an assist yesterday. Plus, the guy's 33. Leave him for a second. Respect the hard work please.
Both... Just enjoy them both and for what they bring and mean for this beautiful sport... Why compare.. Both are incredible and out of this world...
Here 5 years later, he’s won a World Cup, Copa america, Finalissima and 2 more ballon dors and could soon be 3 more ballon doors since this video
Rio, gary and frank are 3 complete legends of the game and they are in complete unanimous awe at messi and ronaldo.
In a few short years both of these incredible gentlemen will retire from professional football and their legacies cemented and forever remembered as the best to ever play the game. Until then appreciate every moment we get to witness their greatness. (Messi is better ngl but as a united fan i still love Cristiano)
Three greats talking about two who are undoubtedly greater. I love the three kind and strong personalities talking here.
What makes them so good is there consistency 🙌🏼
Both are phenomenal players but I’ve always found it funny how the media portray the two. When messi does well they say he’s the greatest, when ronaldo does well they say they can’t be compared. Just something i’ve picked up on, i cant split the two players
I love this. We got the Messi fans and we got the Ronaldo fans. We all have our own opinions! For me CR7 the way he played in his whole career amazed me the most! CR7 #1 but I will never bash on Messi. The greatest rivalry of all time!
Roberto Ramirez Messi is objectively a better player though, they can only be compared as goalscorers.
Oliver McCall ronaldo is all time champions league goal scorer and assist king??? So he is not only a scorer check your facts mate
CR7 is CLEARLY the better player. Messi had the whole spanish national team on barca and pep guardiola. Ronaldo winning with Mourinho, Ancelloti, Benitez and now new manager Zidane. Ronaldo is the ONLY player in portugal team. Agrentina names include tevez, aguero, zabaleta, di maria, mascherano, higuain and many more. CR7 carrying teams on his BACK. Messi losing with every advantage. Messi is pretty to watch. But give me CR7 and and 10 MLS players any day LOL.
@@Darkness-ie2yl Portugal won Euro 2016 without ronaldo. Ronaldo mever won with benitez and whats so impressive about winning with different managers.
@@yesyesyesimdoingallthetime2770 Argentina has won nothing with Messi actually playing either 😂
This is the Best Football Discussion show period. The calmness ans subtlety of the host, the mutual respect of Ferdinand , Lampard, Gerrard and Scholes is just amazing. No arguments no loud voices no clash of egos. Simply Superb .
Btw i do steal ideas for suits too. its like a football show plus a suit catalogue show. Simply Superb!!!!1
Why is it that when one of them has yet another spectacular performance they always compare the two? Please please like they said “forget the comparisons” let’s just enjoy them BOTH. Ducking legends man. Respect
Who is here after Ronaldo scored 2 goals against Barca??
Greatest Big Match Player of the World.
u mean 2 penalties !!!(NO HATE THO)
CR7 one of the all time greats, a remarkable finisher who turns up in the big games, a great entertainer. But Messi is the 🐐
The final bottler
Devia Tor Ronaldo has only performed in 1 final, last years, he flopped in all the others, he missed a penalty for Man Utd in the 2008 final and he scored an extra time penalty to go three goals ahead against atletico
Lol Messi skied his penalty against Alexis troops.. scored 0 goals.. did nothing against PSG and Juve and still credited by his fangirls.. less assists and significantly less goals in UCL KO stage which are trickier and equally important as the final itself..
Lewis Taylor Ronaldo didnt floped. For utd 2008. HE SCORED IN THE GAME. 2014 yes penalty...but foul was on HIM 2016 Win penalty... 2017 He killed Juve
Both are god gifted....thank god that we are witnessing them....no comparison...both are different and great😍😎
Very lucky to watch two Artists at the peak of there craft!
Ronaldo is the best goalscorer ever to play the game.
But then there's Messi, just the absolute God of the game.
The two best players in history.
Ryan Lovett The best player ever is The King Pele!
Ryan Lovett The King Pele and Maradona are the greatest players in the history!
Ryan lovett The new generation is so delusional! The king Pele and Maradona are the greatest players ever!
"the absolute god of the game" has once again disappeared =(
Ryan Lovett 2007, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018... not a single goal to help Barça make it to the next round in Champions. Not a single assist, either! Godly!!
Ronaldo is awesome but messi is the greatest no doubt. People compare ronaldo to messi based on goal scored which is a bit unfair given the position they play since last 3-4 years years. Still it is amazing that messi scores so much .
Imagine Ronaldo has to play deep like messi to create and score too??
If goal was only measure..maradona wouldn't be even considered in top 10 of all times.
and not to disrespect Ronaldo..even in terms of goal..messi is way ahead having 40+ less goals in 150+ less match.
CR7 is more reliable
Imagine if Ronaldo had started his career with the preferrable position like Messi and was nurtured in a system according to his Playing styel, he would have scored way more goals than Messi.
Yeah Messi has a Great vision , great ability to read a game but he is a big flop when it comes to away games esp UCL kos.
Akash Deep it's his teammates that don't rise to the occasion when messi gives them the pass
We live in the era of the 2 greats we will never see again lets enjoy them while they last
They are incredible, above all the rest. For me they r both "one of the greatest" and surely among legends like Pele, Maradona, Maldini, Baresi, Beckenbauer, Cafu, Zidane, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and few others...
When Ronaldo does something amazing this always happens. “Oh let’s not compare them they’re both greats and let’s cherish them”. But when Messi does something amazing, “omg he’s the best ever and no one should say otherwise”. Complete hypocrites I tell ya !
Don't be sad bro. It's just because messi is in such a big level. And I have to say there is only one player in this world who can come very close to or in messi's level and that is CRISTIANO RONALDO. just enjoy them mann
Rehaan Aamir messi is a playmaker that has a better Goals per game ratio than Ronaldo. In the champions league, Messi has a better G+A ratio than Ronaldo. Ronaldo is still better in big games but Messi is the better player overall.
THE GREATEST PLAYER IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE HISTORY GETTING A STANDING OVATION FOR A GOAL IN AN AWAY STADIUM OH MY GOD
Not just ucl all time history best player in the world
@@fatpepthepeteacher2808 all time? Then it's messi
how many times is this question gonna be asked, they're both unbelievably phenomenal.
I’ve been a longtime Messi kind of guy but after Ronaldo’s performance lately I gotta say I was very impressed. They are both just awesome
Both are better than anyone else, I just like Messis playing style more. (Barcafan)
He signed for Man United 14 years ago IM SOO OLD
One of the best quotes I’ve ever heard is, “Ronaldo is the greatest human footballer, but Messi isn’t human”. Ronaldo is insanely good, but Messi is the most naturally gifted footballer the world has ever seen. We are certainly lucky to have them both, but if one had to be picked, it’s Messi all day for me
They have different styles of play, Ronaldo is a complete striker, Messi is a complete footballer. both deff amongst the best in history but I would pick Messi any day. I’ll enjoy both and be grateful to witness history.
Lionel Messi is the greatest of all time
in missing penalties and choking in big games.
@@claudemakelele2856 ronaldo has done that too including elclassicos where he nutmegged himself lol. Atleast messi never embarrassed himself like that
@@shazarjavaid7838 embarassed himself against Iceland
Messi 🐐
anyone noticed that people nowadays are considered best players just because of goals??for instace ronaldo,harry kane,lewandowski but above them all is somebody different who not only scores goals but also creates chances,he is always the game changer.MESSI is always the best🙌🙌
I'm just glad to be alive in this moment in time to witness two of the greatest players this game has ever seen. Even though I personally prefer Messi because his playmaking abilities and versatility, no one can deny that Ronaldo is one hell of machine in front of goal.
0:36 Maya Jama or Jorja Smith?
both of them are best ever I've been saying it since 2012.
Lets for sometime be sense full and mature and appreciate both players, liking or having personal favorite is just matter of choice, based on whose personality u like, just be a true football fan and enjoy the game.
And both are fun to watch coz they are so useful for Madrid and Barca
Yes Ronaldo is outstanding. Yes his goal tonight was one of the best champions league goals there ever was. But it's kind of frustrating how just because of his amazing goal people will be talking about it for the next year. If any other player on that pitch got that goal tonight everybody would forget about it tomorrow. Also loads of people were saying how the likes of KDB and Salah are close to Messi and Ronaldo based on this year's performances but all of a sudden after Ronaldo goal people are saying he's miles ahead of other players (based on this year's performance). It's just kinda frustrating
I’m a Barca fan but Ronaldo’s goal was amazing
Amazing. This video is 5 years old and they are both smashing in goals still. Regardless of where they both play now, they are still professional footballers. CR7 has just hit 850 so that’s an average of another 40 goals a year. Leo got his World Cup too. Brilliant.
Tbh huge respect for both, my 2 GOATS, both have records to prove it.
That being said Messi does magic week in week out and IMO he is above. I'll respect different options.
I'm a utd fan but Messi is the GOAT
Youre defo not a utd fan
michael l I am. Don't believe me check my subscriptions
Same
I'm a united fan too and Messi is better.
i'm a utd fan too.. and i dont wanna say Messi is outright better than Ronaldo cos its really unfair to him. Ronaldo is definitely the best "fox in the box" in the world, the termed coin by Wenger, who is always a threat in the box to score anytime. Pippo Inzaghi was one of the best "fox in the box" and i think even he pales in comparison to Ronaldo. As for Messi, lets be honest, anybody with eyes can see Messi has the most sublime skills in both his feet than anyone else. But both have different outstanding attributes that the other lose out somewhat, so i wont take one over the other.
I agree I think they’re both top class players but I do think Messi is better. However Ronaldo definitely one of the best in the world after Messi 👏🏾
Amazing analysis. That's the right attitude.
This is one of the most honest interview in football history
Messi
Im 36 & truth be told, I've seen some of the best players since 1990.
I must say, the best most skillful I've seen, pound for pound, is RONALDIHNO. His era stands out the most above all
I cant choose one over the other, both all time legends , both top 4 ever with pele and maradona...I cant seperate these 4 players. different styles , eras, teams, facilities, etc but in the same are these 2 broke every record. The longevity the skill the ballon dors etc awesome inseperable imo
I wish can see they back on champions League on their level like those days..
I’m sorry but Messi is the greatest of all time. We seen over and over again without him his team struggles. For example Argentina struggled against Spain without him and last week we saw him show his class and saved Barca. Both players are great but I like Messi not just as a footballer but as a person because he is humble.
Team stuggles = goat...LOL. Let's be real, Ronaldo is more decisive so that's out of the window.
Navi bro we both know if Messi wanted to score as much goals as Ronaldo he would but as the years go on he plays as creative mid fielder and he scores also. Both are great I admit but Messi has the edge. Also Messi has the World record for the most goals in a calendar year that proves my point.
That proves your point!? Really?! Facts will say on different days they were each better... Ronaldo's advantage is his pure athleticism, he will more likely last slightly longer at the top level if he chooses.
People talk about Maradona winning with an average team in Napoli so why not Messi with Argentina. Argentina without Messi=average. Argentina with Messi world class
ronaldo did the same thing to allow portugal to qualify for the 2014 wc... they are both great just leave it at that. youre pointing out that messi scored the most goals in a calender year thats true but there are other stats that suggests that ronaldo is better and also vice versa.
0:42 LOL at the irony of the title. xD
both of them are amazing
I am legitimately going to when both of them retire even if I am into my 30s! Football is a passion that feeds your inner little boy fantasies! I am going to cry 😭
Lionel🐐
Messi and Ronaldo imagine them in a same team wow ❤️ ❤️
It has been done before. Gerd Muller played at the top level for over a decade and has a similar goal record to Messi and Ronaldo. He also won the World Cup and the European Championships and scored in both finals. And he won 3 European Cups and scored in 2 of the finals.
Cristiano Ronaldo is one hell of a player, an area killer, but in my opinion Messi is the greatest of all time. In my opinion Messi is more of a complete player. But I enjoy watching them play!
They're both such different players but both out on their own as the best in the world. I'd say Messi is the greatest player of all time and I'd say Ronaldo is the greatest goalscorer of all time.
Gary is right, things change so we can’t compare old players to new, but then that surely also makes the opposition side harder to beat with the modern pitch/boots/balls etc. So hats off to Messi & Ronaldo for accomplishing what they have in the modern era
They are all great coz they keep on performing..at the highest level
I think Maradona and Pele would admit, if they are being honest, that the consistent game after game relentless brilliance of Messi and Ronaldo is now at a level which is beyond what they both did. We are not talking about one goal or one season everyone remembers. We are talking about too many to even think about. They are both the GOAT.
Ronaldo is by far the best of the humans. Messi is an alien
Harry Cooper human is better than an alien.
sammy berhane 👍
Talk about steriods😂look at Ronaldo. Messi has a god given gift and is a freak of a fottballer and no one is like him as he’s so good at everything. Ronaldo is an amazing footballer but Messi is a god, fact
He’s still tiny so don’t think those growth steriods worked, anyway good one mate
Harry Cooper his height he didnt have the height to play football whem younger,so yes it did help him
I think CR7 is better ,but let's enjoy both of these rather than debating
Both are legends.We are so lucky to see them play.
Lucky to have both Ronaldo and Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo is The Goat end of. 🐐
Ronaldo the star, Ronaldo the scorer, Ronaldo the difference. But best player? Sorry still have to go with Messi.
+Chameleon Scheimong Delusional.
Not that I disagree, but this makes no sense
If a player is star he is naturally the best. your comment makes no sense.
Chameleon scheimong agreed
Well said
That goal!!!!! MY GAAWWDDD!! Seeing the juve fans applauding just something special well done Cristiano! 👍🏻
