Why?
Surely it all depends on the team they are playing in, who won the most Champions leagues when they were at Barca and Madrid respectively?
I think Ronaldo has severely tarnished his reputation with his conduct in recent months at both club and country level.
Ironically Messi was close to a similar implosion in 2016 when he flounced away from the national side and soon after started giving all sorts of ultimatums to Barca, but he pulled himself together, regrouped and came back from the brink. Ronaldo just doesn't have the years still in the tank to redeem himself. He has acted like a sanctimonious narcissist for months now and it leaves a very bitter taste in the mouth at the end of a stellar career.
Sitting down to talk with that cretin Piers Morgan is an and of itself enough to settle the debate, but 'tis the season and I'm in a generous mood.
