Judge Question : Well, after analyzing all of
the facts that have been presented to me. I can
only draw one conclusion when it comes to
comparing you both as football players.
That conclusion is that Ronaldo is the better player in almost every category. When it comes
to goal scoring and accolades for both club and
country, Ronaldo comes out on top. Messi, you are without a doubt Barcelona’s best player of all time. But certainly not the world’s best ever. That is clearly Ronaldo at the moment.
Messi: But I am younger than Ronaldo and
haven’t played as many matches as him.
Judge: I understand that, but until you surpass
his goal scoring records and win as many trophies both individually and collectively as he has, then Ronaldo will, according to the statistics, be considered as the best football player of all time. Until then, keep pushing on and you just might be able to achieve just as much as Ronaldo!
