Best Answer

Typically it's more of an opinion, but here are some facts for both of them in La Liga.

Lionel Messi: Has played 24 games, scored 28 goals, gotten 8 assists and has taken 123 shots.

Christiano Ronaldo. Has played 24 games, scored 29 goals, gotten 7 assists and taken 157 shots.

So as you can see their stats are almost identical except for shots, which Ronaldo is leading. This could be seen as good or bad. It's good because he's making shots for himself, but bad because it seems that he may be taking shots that he shouldn't or that his accuracy is low.

Personally I think that Messi is a more well rounded player, as in passing and seeing opportunities. Ronaldo can be a one man shows sometimes which isn't exactly bad if he's affective, but if he's not it's very bad.

Dribbling: Lionel Messi (is considered the greatest dribbler of all time along with Maradona and R9)

Skills and Tricks: Ronaldo (is considered best in footwork)

Goal scoring: Overall: EQUAL
--> Long-range: Ronaldo
--> Dribble goals: Messi
--> Freekicks: Ronaldo
--> Chipping: Messi
--> Penalties: Ronaldo
--> Backheel: Ronaldo
--> Team-play goals: Messi
--> Headers: Ronaldo (due to Messi's height disadvantage)
--> Scoring Records: Messi (highest scorer in a single year in history with 91 goals in the year of 2012. Highest scorer of Champions League History and La Liga. Highest scoring record in one season (70 goals). At the age of only 27, he has 45 goals for his country)

Assisting, Team play, and Playmaking: Lionel Messi (has record for most assists in La Liga history) YouTube: Lionel Messi � All 106 Assists in La Liga � NEW RECORD

Defending: Both do very little for defensive contribution. No winner ...

Physique: Ronaldo (has a near perfect body for a football player. He is one of the world's fastest & strongest players; and at 6 ft 1" tall, he has an advantage in aerial duels.)

Ball Control: Lionel Messi Honors: Considered EQUAL.

Discipline (Qualitative): Messi is recognized as a player who and doesn't DIVE. There have only been a few instances in his career where he dived.
Youtube: Lionel Messi never dives - Ultimate Compilation | HD
On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo is criticized a lot because of his consistent diving in the game
Youtube: Cristiano Ronaldo Diving Manual - Part 1

Discipline (Quantitative): Lionel Messi (Messi only has a single red card in his career, whereas Ronaldo has 9 red cards)

That pretty much raps up the entire comparison of the two players. Both are superb players who will go down as the game's greatest.
