Real Madrid paid a world record of 94 million euros for Cristiano Ronaldo, and the class was evident from the start.
Lionel Messi turned on a footballing masterclass last season and helped Barcelona win six out of six titles. The Argentine also scooped up quite a few awards, including the European Footballer of the Year and the FIFA World Player of the Year.
Nevertheless, according to a Spanish newspaper- Marca, Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo is a more complete player than Lionel Messi.
A statistical study has revealed that Ronaldo is, in fact, the better of the two. Marca declared that trying to separate the pair was as tough as “choosing between a mother or father”. However, they concluded that Messi’s woes with Argentina were key to him finishing behind Ronaldo.
