Really?  His record across 3 of the best leagues in the world and internationally has no equal IMHO. 

IMHO, yes really.  I thin Messi does things with a ball that Ronaldo can only dream about.  Huge respect for Ronaldo, but think Messi is the better player.  Ronaldo has lifted Portugal for sure but it isnt like he has a poor supporting cast.  Messi is unfortunate that his Argentinian colleagues for the past decade have only been world class in the attacking areas and been poor defensively and even in midfield.

 

These things are always subjective but Messi sees things others, even world class players,  just don't see.

 

For me it is indicative that when ex-players are asked that age old "Messi or Ronaldo?" question that almost invariably the response is Messi.

 

I even think Messi is better than Maradona (sorry Uilleam) but I do still remember Maradona single-handedly taking a poor Argentina team to the World Cup - and they may have won it in 1994 again as a poor team had he not been banned for shoving the Columbian marching powder up his nose.  Maradona may have been even better had he been afforded the protection that today's players get.

 

Still think Messi is the best ever - as I said though, very subjective.

Don't think you'd ever see Messi jump this high to head a ball, that means that a whole big part of his game is missing ...
