Ronaldo won 5 Balon d'Ors during the peak Messi years. And he won 5 Champions League titles plus a Euro and Nations League with Portugal 🇵🇹. And he's the greatest goal scorer in the history of football. Not bad for a guy who's leagues behind Messi.

The Goat debate was not decided by the World Cup. Messi is a player who cannot be described by statistics, anyone who has seen him play during his prime knows that. Nevertheless, together with Ronaldo, he leads almost all statistics. In 15 years we will look back on these careers and there will be no more debate. Messi is the greatest footballer in history. The debate will be whether Ronaldo is the second greatest footballer in history. PS: (It was the greatest final, but no way this was the greatest World Cup)

Ronaldo on the other hand has only been a striker for 6 years (6 years out of his 20 year career) originally he was a right midfielder crossing in balls from flanks, before later on he adapted into a fully fledged left winger.

He's decision making stepovers, knuckle ball shots and free-kicks. Dude was carrying his team on his shoulders when Madrid didn't had the likes of Modric, Kroos etc. Meanwhile Messi had one of the best manager in Guardiola, a very well gelled team with the likes of Xavi, Iniesta, Dani Alves, Puyol, pique, etc. Even after the injury Ronaldo reinvented his style of play and became a deadly striker. This season really was a blot on Ronaldo's legacy. Thanks to Man Utd. I hope he recovers and we could see good farewell on the top just like Messi did.

I think that's a silly statement that I hear. Engineers would choose the most effective player. Messi chooses the most effective options almost every time.

A lot of players have the same strength and physic like Ronaldo. I don't even think that should be called a privilege.

I have never seen an American understanding football/soccer this much. The way he is explaining every single detail is just wonderful. And I wish the next 2026 FIFA world cup in the USA, Mexico & Canada will make a lot of crazy football/soccer fans in that north zone.

Overall I still think the best world cup was 2014. But this final is unmatched

You are forgiven from comparing Messi to Antetokounmpo because football may not be the sport you grew up watching. And that’s key. As great as this 2022 WC final was, Messi’s legacy is remarkable. Having grown up watching football and 80’s basketball I’d compared Messi’s legacy and problem solving abilities to that of MJ himself.

For their limited soccer experience, Andrew's take on Messi is pretty accurate

Tell me you're American without telling me you're American

Americans who have no clue commenting on football is hilarious. Pulisic is the LeBron of football.

The only things that were missing in Messi's game were appearing when their team needed him most and winning the world cup. In the end of his career he achieved both. It's the goat.

And this is so accurate from someone who doesn’t watch soccer…

People who never played football at highest level will never be able to understand that both CR7 and LM10 are incomprehensibly skilled both physically and football IQ.

"Shoutout to Islam" Oh man im dead 😆😂 This is some great content yo 😂

11:45 Johan Cruyff never won a world cup too... But he got to the finals in 1974 losing to Gerd Müller's Germany. He also won the best player of that tournament

Nice break down

People seem to forget Ronaldo’s leadership quality, and the fact that he has consistently challenged himself and went from club to club and won virtually every trophy there is. Apart from the world cup obviously. But the man loves to push himself and is constantly driven to improve.

Just crazy. People been calling both of them GOATs for years while neither had a WC trophy, so why does Ronaldo lose GOAT status now? If Argentina hadn't won, would Messi not be a GOAT?

Messi is miles ahead in terms of talent. However, in terms of the players they eventually became and the careers they had, its very close. What bridged the gap was ronaldo’s unrelenting work ethic and drive. This by no means implies Messi does not work hard himself, he sure does, but Ronaldo’s work ethic is the standard that the vast majority, if any, will ever reach. This is also why many idolize him over Messi.

I prefer Messi way of being humble over Ronado's ego and arrogance. The fact that he was realty quiet and still a beast on the field was the thing that made me like him over Ronaldo. The guy never, ever, claimed he was the best (unlike Ronaldo that said it many times), and yet he was the better of the two all the time. Ronaldo fans like him because they probably relaye more to his personality, many of us Messi fans like Messi more because he is pretty much the opposite of Ronaldo. A humble and selfless prodigy
