"...is in eyes of the beholder"
Both two of the greatest players who have played the game.
Given the choice, I would take messi for my team. Just a personal preference as I think that Messi is the better team player, tries to bring the other players into play more and share the credit more instead of trying to hog the limelight for himself.

Italian football is NOT some mourhino type negative footballing display to grind out results. Granted it's not to everyone's taste but it's much more intelligent - relying on tactically working the ball and your opponent to your advantage, almost pulling strings to dismantle a midfield or defence. Juventus and (a decade ago) Milan were brilliant at this. Only problem was when they played each other!! It was like watching two chess grandmasters, but against any other side their football is quality.
