Ronaldo is phenomonal but Messi is a once in a lifetime freak. Messi makes everything look so easy, so natural. U can't learn or practice the stuff Messi does and has done.
Messi’s technique surpasses Ronaldo’s for sure . (In fact , surpasses anybody else in football history)
Ronaldo’s speed and stamina surpasses Messi’s.
They’re both doing pretty well for their club , Ronaldo seems to be more useful for his national team though .
I have the highest respect for both. We may not see a rivarly between two players of such calliber for quite some time. As a football fan I must say its a privilege to be able to watch them play.
