    You honestly have no clue what you're talking about, and this is coming from a seasoned and versed Ronaldo hater. Let's examine some things you said....

    First, Messi is the best passer in the world.... We have a resounding NO to that. He's not even the best passer on his team, that distinction belongs to Iniesta. When Xavi was there, he was the third best passer on his team.

    Second, best dribbler in the world, again this couldn't be further from the truth. The soccer term that you're actually looking for here in Messi's case, is ball CONTROL. He has some of, if not the best control in the world, and he's the best at making sharp agile cuts at full speed in the world. However, when you say dribbling, you're more talking about tricks with the ball and beating you guys using said dribbling. Messi is no where near the best at that. Ronaldo literally SMASHES Messi when it comes to dribbling. I'll be posting a Ronaldo highlight video showcasing this.

    Third, best finisher in the world.... Nah, I wouldn't say he's that at all. He's an excellent finisher, one might even say elite, but he's not the best. I would cite Ibra, Lewandowski and Suarez as clear better finishers. I hate to say it, but I'd even favor Ronaldo when it comes to finishing. Finishing isn't just bursting through the box and sliding the ball into the net. It means EVERYTHING in relation to scoring goals. Ronaldo is the CLEAR better shooter from distance. He's clearly better in the air using his head. He's better at penalties and free kicks, which again, I'll be illustrating. So those areas listed above Ronaldo is better at when it comes to finishing.

    Lastly, I'm a confirmed Ronaldo hater, but we need to give the man the credit he's due. He's a fantastic and dribbling and ball control. You claim his free kicks are overrated... this again... is simply not true. He's amazing a free kicks. Both things you claim he's mediocre at, he's better than Messi at. That said, I still believe Messi to be the better player overall and teammate, but I simply needed to correct some of what you say. Which pains me, being a Barcelona fan and all

    Granted nothing can compare to the best dribbler in history.. Ronaldinho

    Ronaldinho on form was the greatest I've ever seen.

    The consistency of these two is incredible. Ronaldo is the goat goalscorer. Messi is the goat player.

    Passing isn't just about assists. Messi is a great passer, no doubt. But I'd pick Iniesta or him, and Xavi when he was there as well.

    You literally know NOTHING about soccer or how the game is played. I've forgotten more than you know about football. It's actually disgraceful to the game to say some of the stuff you have. I know more, watch more Barcelona football than you, of this I'm sure.

    You're talking about control moron, not dribbling. The dribbling statistic you are wrongly trying to apply count touches on the ball as well NOT just dribbling past your foe. Dribbling past your foe and the trick you use to do so is what I'm referring to. Ronaldo blows Messi out of the water when it comes to that. Just look at the video moron. Messi NEVER does the tricks Ronaldo or Ronaldinho do with the ball... EVER. As I stated, he has the best control, best cuts at full speed and some of the best feet ever... All great things, but he's not a better dribbler than Ronaldo.

    Ronaldo has about 6x as many free kick goals as Messi. WATCH THE VIDEO YOUR BUFFOON. Messi never does kicks like Ronaldo can do. To even say Messi is better at freekicks tells me all I need to know about your lack of football knowledge. It's pedestrian at best.

    You failed to mention shooting from range... something messi NEVER does. Ronaldo THRIVES at those shots. You failed to mention headers.. again something Ronaldo crushes Messi at. Both related to goal scoring.

    I'm convinced you've never watched Iniesta play if you think Messi is a better passer. Messi is a better passer on the run, sure, but all round NO WAY. Iniesta can do ANY pass.. long passes, short passes, intermediate, trick pass.. any kind. When do you ever see Messi long ball it? Never. Iniesta can. I best you think Messi was a better passer than Xavi to huh? Moron.

    How I know you have no clue.. You said Messi was the best finisher in the world.. He's no such thing. Ibra, Lewan and Suarez are all better finishers just to name 3. I could name more. You think Messi is better than those three? Really? LOL.

    Do me a favor, watch actual football games and stop going to goal.com and reading some articles, and then thinking you have the slightest clue what you're talking about. You don't, your knowledge is pathetic and bias. I'm a Ronaldo hater, and can smell your bs a mile away.

    No doubt Messi is the GOAT, and Ronaldo will be ranked him top 10, maybe even 5 all time when his career is done.

    Ronaldo is the only player you can compare to Messi in this generation. Which is the biggest compliment you can pay him possible. I believe Messi to be better, greater etc and what Ronaldo has done at Madrid is mind boggling statistically, but Messi has been playing at that level since 19.

    More nonsense. Ronaldinho SH!T all over Messi when it comes to dribbling. There is no comparison there. Nobody had better control or dribbling than Dinho.. nobody... nobody ever. You're a bias buffoon if you think Messi is better. He's not. Even passing, Messi never pulls of the passes Dinho does... ever. LOOK AT THE VIDEO YOU BUFFOON. You won't be able to find passes from Messi than you see from Dinho... won't happen.

    Xavi also ****s all over Messi when it comes to passing. It's not even close. Xavi was the Maestro not Messi. I'm convinced you only started watching Barcelona this year... They've been my favorite team since Eto became a first team player. Let me guess, this was before you were born right?

    Don't disagree, I think Messi is better and will go down in history as better. However, I'm just correctly is bias BS when it comes to the comparisons he's making. He has no clue what he's talking about.
