Let me ask a very simple question. Who is the best footballer, so far in 21st century? My answer would be Cristiano Ronaldo. Some may go for Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappé may be the choice for a few others. Then there will be significant support for players such as Luka Modrić, Zinedine Zidane, Thierry Henry, Andrés Iniesta and Xavi Hernández. Out of all these players, how many are participating in the Saudi Professional League? Only Ronaldo. And that makes him the best player right now in this league.
Ah. Two players should not be compared as to who is the best because both are athletes who have made the world of football great.
No one can match the abilities of these two players, although some say that there will be new players who will match their rivalry after both retire, it will still not be the same.
If the question is who is the best between the two in terms of statistics, I would also answer Ronaldo.
Ronaldo has played more clubs than Messi and Ronaldo has always performed great with his contributions.
Ronaldo and Messi are both the brightest stars in the world of football. Both are called the princes of football. In that respect, Ronaldo is slightly ahead. Their difference is that the eyes are the most precious organ in the body. If they are compared to eyes, then one eye cannot be imagined without the other. Just as a person is incomplete without one eye, the world of football is incomplete without these two. Their unique style and contribution make football more exciting. Ronaldo's consistency in multiple leagues is impressive, just as Messi's playmaking and dribbling are unmatched. Regardless of the statistics, their legacy will be difficult to repeat!
