12:27pm, 30 April 2025Football

1. Comparison of technical characteristics

Ronaldo's advantages: At its peak, he had extraordinary explosive power, rapid speed as wind, superb dribbling breakthrough ability, and peak ending efficiency, so he was called "Alien". His "pendulum extraordinary" and high-speed directional breakthroughs are historically level, and his individual combat capabilities are outstanding, especially at breaking through the barriers of defense in a narrow space.

Shortcomings: Frequent injuries have affected their stability. They transformed into a "forbidden killer" in their later careers, and their organizational support capabilities are slightly inferior to Messi.

Messi's advantages: The comprehensiveness of his technology is rare in history, with accurate shooting, treacherous dribbles, top-notch passing vision and excellent game reading ability. He is good at cutting inward from the right to create threats, with small-scale ball control and rhythm changes unreachable, and his career peak period is very long (nearly 20 years).

Shortcoming: The physical confrontation and heading ability are relatively weak, and rely on system support (such as Barcelona's "passing and control system"), but later it proved its adaptability to the Argentine team.

2. Data and Honors

Club performance

Messi: He is the La Liga historical scorer (474 ​​goals), won 6 European Golden Boots, 10 La Liga titles, and 4 Champions League titles (as a core identity). Barcelona has scored more than 700 goals in his career.

Robert: The club has fewer honors (2 La Liga, 1 Champions League), but in the peak season (1996-97 Barcelona, ​​2002-03 Real Madrid) averaged nearly 1 goal per game, and the World Cup performance was even more brilliant.

National Team Achievements

Ronaldo: 2 World Cup Champions (not appeared in 1994, 2002 as the core), 2 World Cup Golden Globe Awards (1998, 2002), and is the second scorer in the history of the World Cup (15 goals).

Messi: The 2022 World Cup champion and Golden Globe Award and the 2021 Copa America champion, the national team scored hundreds of goals, making up for the early "no championship".

Individual Awards

Messi: 7 Golden Globes (first place in history), 2 times Lawrence Best Athlete (unique in football).

Daluo: 2 Golden Globe Awards, 3 World Footballer, but he was trapped by injuries and his peak period was short.

Personal conclusion: In terms of dominance in the peak period, Daluo may have a slight advantage, and his "alien" performance is more visually impactful.

Comprehensive career achievements and comprehensiveness: Messi has more advantages, data and honors.
