Messi. Better attitude, and just more brilliant than Ronaldo. Oh, and he seems a nice bloke. I think perhaps what Mourinho may of been saying (regards the my dad is better than your dad ****e regards Ballon d'Or) is that my ego and Ronaldo's are bigger than the universe? Or, alternatively: Together, our egos could rule the galaxy as father and son?
I have to come down on the side of Lionel Messi, who considering his height is a much better all round player, Cristiano Ronaldo seems to go down very easily considering his build, but Lionel Messi stay upright just try to see his 3rd goal against Deportivo la Coruna on 20th Oct 2012.
Messi should be banned for all the illegal substances he took through his childhood - people would argue that he needed that 'medicine' to correct a growing impairment... he's an unnatural drugs cheat and a product of modern sports science. Christiano Ronaldo is a natural athlete who has the best natural skills in the world. So it's obviously Messi then.
