He's the more talented player but he just doesn't have the same mentality. Ronaldo's gone to another level in the last few years. 4 CLs and a Euros in 5 seasons is genuinely ridiculous.
People still saying Messi just don't understand football tbh.
Literally none of this is true though and backs up the point about fans with short memories who want to pretend Messi's career didn't happen.
You say short memories, I say not being stuck in the past.
Over the last 5 years Ronaldo has taken his game a level Messi has never reached. Simple as that. Performing so consistently in so many big games is something Messi has never done.
And it just so happens that over that period Messi has started to go awfully quiet when his team needs him the most.
Ronaldo is seen as better now because his team has won a few CL titles in a row while the Barcelona side has declined. The Euro 2016 is a shithouse of all absolutes. Any other edition Portugal would’ve gone out in the group stage as they finished 3rd in their group. Immense amount of luck to win that tournament.
Messi can do stuff all on his own, or provide for others. Ronaldo’s game will always require some input from his teammates.

Ronaldo is a machine upfront; Messi is a God.
Got to love that goal Was that the game where he got the harrick with a 10 man barca in the UCL semi final against Madrid?

No he hasn't, Messi has 'turned up' in loads of big games since about 2005, it's just that Real Madrid have been the better team in Europe recently.
It's just that Ronaldo has scored 70 goals in the last 5 Champions League seasons.
Ronaldo took 144 games to reach 100. 123 for Messi. Messi will have more goals when he reaches Ronaldos games. It just so happens that Madrid have assembled the best team in club history.
