#3 They are both legends
The internet is littered by opinions of the two fanbases, screaming the superiority of one over the other. The truth, however, is that both of them are legends and comparing the two is only an insult to the game.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have countless accolades. Both are the captains of their respective national team and both have won a multitude of trophies at club level. Actually, it would be better to say that the duo have won everything there is to win at an individual and club level.
However, in international football, La Pulga hasn’t been able to achieve any major silverware - something which often taints his name - and will be looking to change that in the World Cup this year. The same was the case for Cristiano Ronaldo until he won the Euros in 2016 and added an international accolade to his resume.
Nevertheless, international medals or not, it just can’t be denied that the two are the greatest players the sport has witnessed and are beyond comparison.
