Why is Cristiano Ronaldo better than Messi? | My opinion | by @jmanuel-e

Greetings to the sports community, today I want to tell you the reason why Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Messi, without belittling Messi since he is an incredible player and you do dribbles that others cannot do from the middle of the court to the area. of the rival goalkeeper. Undoubtedly a very elusive player who has been a symbol of Barcelona for more than 10 years.

One of my criteria that C. Ronaldo is better than Messi is that he has managed to become champion with several teams, including Sporting CP (2002-03) winning the local title in his native country, after facing against Manchester United FC (2003-09) caught the attention of Sir Alex Ferguson, hence the call to be part of the Red Devils in the following season. With Manchester he achieved his first Champions League title in the 2007-08 season.

After winning titles in England with Manchester United such as the FA CUP (2003-04), Football League Cup (2005-06 / 2008-09), Premier League (2006- 07 / 2007-08 / 2008-09) and the Community Shield (2007/2008), is signed by the Merengue club Real Madrid (2009-18).

---

His arrival in Madrid marked the end of the galactic era and the beginning of the CR7 era, there he finished establishing himself as the best striker in the world, along with his sports rival Lionel Messi, Spain whose country saw the birth of this rivalry between both players, It has given us great moments when facing each other since both players are references in the eternal rivalry between Real Madrid FC and FC Barcelona.

---

With Real Madrid FC he finished exploiting his talent, winning local titles such as the Copa del Rey (2010-11 / 2013-14), Primera División de España (2011-12 / 2016-17) and the Supercopa de España (2012/2017). Although he obtained fewer titles at the local level compared to what he achieved in the Premier League, his greatest success was the Champions League.

---

With the Champions League he undoubtedly became the greatest exponent of football, he managed in the seasons (2013-14 / 2015-16 / 2016-17 / 2017-18) to establish himself as Champion, 3 consecutive titles that I doubt let this feat be repeated.

---

He currently plays in Italy for Juventus FC (2018-?) Where he has obtained a humble performance and I think it is because of his age, his retirement will soon come, so far he has only achieved local titles such as the Supercoppa di Lega (2018/2020), Serie A (2018-19 / 2019-20) and the Coppa Italia (2020-21).

---

Many of us will remember him as the man of the finals, that player whose important moments the team throws on his shoulder, as for Messi, I do not mean that he is a great, but playing in the same team throughout his football career makes him doubt his ability like Cristiano's, who has shown that wherever he is, he will always triumph by getting any title for his team.

I hope you liked my reference to Cristiano, I finish by clarifying that there are many players of stature such as Lewandoski, a footballer who scores more than 30 goals in each season he plays, but for me, Cristiano is above all or to be more of course, it is one notch higher than many. Not to mention his track record with the Portugal National Team and individual awards.
