Lionel Messi vs C.Ronaldo

C. Ronaldo is an outstanding player who currently plays for the team Real Madrid as their main striker. When you see someone who shows any sort of dislike with ROnaldo, it is safe to assume that you are dealing with a fan of Messi. Anyone who has a strong admiration for one, literally hates the other! Let’s compare their performance by looking at some facts and statistics. In 2013/2014, altogether Ronaldo scored 51 goals through out the year and around 14 assists. In the years preceding that, his number of goals and assists was a lot lower. Now, measuring a player’s performance cannot truly be determined just by looking at how many goals and assists he has had for a specific period of time. Other aspects such as the player’s position, speed, accuracy, sense of dribbling and tackling the ball as well the ability to decide when to pass and when to go solo also need to be taken into account. It’s these little things that helps fans determine which player and which team they want to support. These qualities are not measured in a player but rather observed over the years.

Enough about Ronaldo, let’s move of discussing Messi. Lionel Messi had quite the issues as a little kid. He had growth hormone deficiency as he was growing up which prevented him from being able to support his weight on his legs. He was bound to a wheel chair and had the doctor’s convinced that he would never be able to get up and even walk properly, forget running around kicking a ball. But when a person is determined, there is absolutely nothing he cannot achieve and Messi serves as living proof. He overcame his disability and is now known “The Spark”, running even faster than the ball on the field! I cannot lie and say that Messi is better than Ronaldo in every aspect because in terms for goals and assist, Messi’s performance this year has been below Roanldo’s ; 41 goals and 14 assist. But his background has got to count for at least something! However, looking at previous years, he outruns Ronaldo in both the number of goals and assists, ultimately winning more league titles, awards and cups than Ronaldo! Messi, you are indeed the Soccer God!
