5 Reasons why Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Lionel Messi

5) Internationals

Messi has been slated over the past few years for not being as good for his country as he is for Barcelona. Ronaldo on the other hand has scored 39 goals for Portugal and has reached 100 caps. I guess there are many players who don't perform for their countries as much as their clubs. Moving onto number 4..

4) Service

Don't want take anything away from Mesut Ozil and Xabi Alonso but do they give the same service to Ronaldo as Xavi and Iniesta do to Messi? Lionel has had the advantage of playing with two of the greatest passers of the ball in the World. Moving onto number 3..

3) Goals

Lionel Messi is mostly about the goals (as any striker should be) along the way he has broken nearly every record in the book. However, you can't take anything away from Cristiano Ronaldo who has scored a remarkable 197 goals in 200 games for Real Madrid. Moving onto number 2..

2) Premier League

Whereas Lionel Messi has near enough owned La Liga. Cristiano Ronaldo on the other hand has done this in the Premier League with Manchester United and in La Liga with Real Madrid. Messi will never leave Barcelona, but would he have the same impact in the Premier League as Ronaldo did at United? Moving onto number 1..

1) Complete Player

Ronaldo is the complete player, if you were to create a player this is what he would be like. He has the shot of Messi, the skill if Neymar, the pace of Gareth Bale and the strength of Chuck Norris. Overall, he is the more complete player.
