Lionel
Messi has often been described as Diego Maradona’s successor because of his
prolific goal scoring record and ability to dribble past opponents. Because
Messi was brought up in Spain, since he was 11 years old, he has Spanish
nationality. In 2004, he was offered the chance to play for Spain’s Under 20
side, but Messi decided to play for Argentina, the country of his birth. He led
Argentina to victory in the 2005 FIFA Youth championship.
Cristiano Ronaldo
started playing competitive football for amateur club Andorinha when he was
just eight years old, and then for local team CD Nacional when he was 10. Ronaldo
first gained international attention when he played for Portugal’s youth team
in UEFA U-17 Championships. Ronaldo broke the La Liga single-season scoring
record by netting 40 league goals in 2010/2011. He helped Real to clinch the
Copa Del Rey.

When
Cristiano Ronaldo first joined the national team of Portugal, Ronaldo made his
debut in the 1-0 win over Kazakhstan, August 20, 2003. Ronaldo appeared in the
2004 European Cup with two goals in the group stage and the semi-finals.
Despite failing to bring Portugal to be champions because it defeated Greece in
the final, Ronaldo remains selected as the best team of the tournament. Ronaldo
also appeared with Portugal at the 2004 Olympics.
According
to messivsronaldo.net, Messi has a near perfect combination of technique,
speed, balance and intelligence which give him the uncanny ability to sprint
into a crowd of players and come out the other side with the ball still at his
feet and in complete control. Meanwhile, Ronaldo is king of the step-over and
has plenty more tricks up his sleeve that, with the help of his lightning pace,
can take him past defenders as if they weren't there.
Whilst
Ronaldo's skill and technique cannot be questioned, he can be guilty of one
step-over too many or a bit of flamboyance & showmanship that wasn't really
necessary; sometimes costing his team possession. However, Messi isn't the
fastest of sprinters, the speed at which his feet can move can seem almost
impossible and combined with his abundance of skill, can often create the
illusion that the ball is just glued to his feet.
