Well.. its kind of weird because I dont look at it statistically. I go by what I've seen from all the Clasicos and other games I've watched from both teams. I'm a huge Madrid fan but I also watch alot of games from barca because of the rivalry and Champions League matches. (My favorite player is probably Pirlo but thats a different argument ) Just for an example.. Youtube videos of highlights from both throughout their career. Messi will have many goals where he is just finesse and goes by people. His goals will be mostly his left footed chips, left footed to the left corner, or even those like against Milan from the center of the box. I dont think he has a very dangerous right foot and he can be guarded if the team has an organized defense that can contain everybody around him. He has had Iniesta and Xavi in the midfield who are two of the best midfielders in the last 20 years as well as a completely dominant defense. The system he is in also is basically 75% barcelona possession with him being the lone scorer most of the time. Ronaldo on the other hand has done it in La Liga as well as back in ManU in a VERY physical EPL. I dont know if Messi would thrive the same way on a team in the EPL where he will get literally manhandled by defenders. Ronaldo is just physically stronger and has more power in every way. I have seen him score many times with left foot, right foot, headers, etc. Youtube his shots for ManU when he just blasts it in a second from 40 yards or even for Madrid. He has one of the most unique quick shots with prob more power than anybody. I just think Ronaldo is more of a dynamic gamechanger that would flourish in any system or team. (a lot like Ibrahimovic..)

Intentional or not, as a defensive player, you know not to do that. It's one thing coaches tell you (or should tell you) to try and avoid, because it's simply dangerous.

Ronaldo > Messi..

Funny I was going through CSI's international broadcast list on wiki, and I thought of you when I saw it's broadcasted on TV3 in Eesti...
