R9naldo was a phenomenal player, his speed and movement were unreal... big Thuram seemed to be the only defender that knew how to handle him... great battles between the two.
Ronaldo fenômeno melhor atacante de tds os tempos se ele n existisse nos anos 90 o futebol n seria tão eficiente ele q inventou esses dribles desconcertantes as pedaladas ele q começou com tds esses dribles q hoje Neymar faz Cristiano Robinho e outros ... obrigado Ronaldo por existir ..
Now days...if you touch Messi with a finger, you get yellow card. Back then....they were butchers. In fact, they destroyed Ronaldo's knees. Messi or R7 would NOT do much with those butchers defenders and nasty pitches like they had back then.
It happens that Leo wins the Copa America in 2021...in 2021 he wins the "Finalissima" and in 2022 he becomes world champion...and the controversy over who is the best player ever ends. With all due respect to nostalgics. Amen.
@@user-gc6vu9uz5k Conditions matter . Messi wouldn't have good control on these awful pitches and wouldn't perform well against tough defenders who will come on you to kick your legs . Also Ronaldo and Maradona played in average teams and were the best while Messi is not that good in Argentine

ga hs Damn you're in every Ronaldo video talking about Messi and talking shit about O Fenomeno what has your shit Messi done outside his one Barcelona? Nothing!! Ronaldo has torn it in every team he's been, he unfortunately didn't win as much trophies as Messi. But this man was a true Phenomenon. Who knows what could've been of him without his injuries
Only one thing! After two career ending knee injuries and 2 gears down in speed, and plus some kilos he still was the best in the world. He won the world Cup being the 1st scorer of the tournament, 2 goals in the final vs Germany, MVP of the finals and tournament, and 1st scorer of World Cup ever! He was transferred to Real Madrid from Inter Milan after the summer.. at his debut game he entered the pitch in the 68" minute, and after 4-5 minutes he scores a nice goal after a chest control ! Now... a pre injured Ronaldo ? (Cruzeiro,PSV,Barcelona,and first two years at Inter), he would make PlayStation FIFA game fans loose their mind ! Out of this world player.. Messi is good , but R9 is on another level, a level no one ever reached ! R9 has proved himself wherever he played 6 clubs plus national team. Messi has proved himself where? Except Barcelona? No where! He just fits well in Barcelona where the La Liga is no so defensive and everyone cares about offence. You can sew Christiano struggling to score in a washed up Seria A in Italy with the Champions Juventus! Two games = 0 goals from the super goal machine 😂😂😂 In a very outdated and washed up Italian League. Imagine him playing in the 1990s ? Under 10 goals a season with a bet! Cheers!

Poor what, Buffon saved his shots so many times. He also became the first and second gk ever to save him a penalty, of we also not considere that while r9 dured like 5 years, buffon kept goat levels for more than 20
Grotesk Messi = 4 ballon dors. Ronaldo = only 3 Messi =+91 goals Ronaldo = only 47 goals Messi = la liga all time scorer la liga all time top assister and all time Champions league goals scorer. Ronaldo aint worth shit of Messi
+MR Atheist hahahaa you re a young of course, in the time of ronaldo the football was way better then now, really more dificult, ronaldo had two baaad injuries and win 2 wc, please man dont say shit like that its shameful
Величайший форвард в истории футбола. Вот зачем он поехал в Италию??? С самой жестокой защитой в мире. Один этот скот Костакурта чего стоил... В Барселоне его бы не сломали...
...and 6-7 hard fouls on him, and one Red card for Thuram elbow in his face that was never given,....and being around with 3-4 defenders all the time...and 2-3 more shots on target (Buffon saved)... he did well!
Messi is alot more consistent and accurate than Ronaldo was. Whenever he is in shooting range, Messi is deadly, whereas Ronaldo during his prime would miss alot of his shoots. However, I believe Messi's weakness is that he can go very, very quiet when up against a strong defense in important matches, and I also think Messi would struggle outside of Barcelona (when e.g. Iniesta or Xavi often carry the fight for Barca). For example, Messi has been consistently disappointing for Argentina. Even in World Cup 2014 it was Mascherano leading the Argentina side, not Messi (Messi did nothing other than pop up with a goal). Ronaldo at Barca and Inter was quicker than Messi, had alot more flair and trickery, could turn and power past defenders better than Messi, and he performed as a shining star at ALL levels. He tore up La Liga, then went to what at the time was by far the strongest league in the world (just look at this Parma side, Thuram, Buffon and Canavarro in defense, Crespo up front, and they were mid table lol) and transformed an Inter side that was firmly behind Juve/Milan into being on a par. He tore up Serie A, where most of the best defences were found. Also, he did it for Brazil at World Cup level. I think Ronaldo was less consistent (in terms of success rates) and accurate than Messi, but more adaptable and more suited to playing in the big important matches. Also, he never stopped trying - whereas Messi goes quiet or disappears, Ronaldo was always there, always trying tricks and trying to burst past defenders making them foul him. So to summarise, I think on average over a season Messi is the better player because of accuracy/consistency, but I believe Brazil Ronaldo was more entertaining, more adaptable, a better leader for his team, more suited to all levels of the game than Messi, and was more of a nuisance over 90 minutes than Messi was. Skill wise I think Ronaldo has much more skill than Messi, but again Messi is much more accurate (he just does the same stop/start dribble before shooting from 15-5 yards). So who was the best since the 90's? Simple. Zidane was. Although Messi and Ronaldo could do alot more than Zidane due to speed and goalscoring, Zidane's basic ball control and manipulation of space was MASTERFUL, definitely higher level than Messi or Ronaldo. He tore teams open in midfield and ran circles around everyone at all levels. He was the ultimate important game player for club and country. He turned what was an average France side into a dominant force. Whenever Zidane was on the pitch and playing well, he was always the best player on the pitch. Ronaldo, Figo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, whoever, put anyone on the same pitch and Zidane outshone them because he did the basic playmaking better than anyone could. Even at 34 years old and nearing retirement, Zidane in World Cup 2006 was better than Messi has ever been in a World Cup.
Rhoombrp and 'his peak' was still a developing 22 year old. His shooting got better, though I agree that messi has perhaps the most accurate (left) foot ever
Prima di chiamare Mbappe e Haaland fuoriclasse...solo perché fanno 14 gol a partita e corrono 50 MT senza che nessuno li contrasti, consiglierei di guardare questo video
Mahatab Chowdhury I would love to see Messi play here at this age at these kind of pitch. He would not be able to do anything without his barca. He would not be able to dribble at this kind of pitch. He would not be able to survive match like this. Sorry but Messi here would be nobody. Ronaldo 18yo in 2015 would be GOD. thats just it.

Irithus I'm not sure, but I believe Ronaldo at his peak was in fact at Messi's level, he was more powerful but less able to dribble maybe because he is much taller...

I was a kid on that time, but as I can see he was not something special to long keeping the ball ⚽ and extremely individual player! I liked much more Roberto Baghio he was a leader!
