To me, Messi is a superstar artist on the field, but Ronaldo is more inspiring.

Comparing two football legends Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7) and Lionel Messi (M10) is an eternal topic, always attracting heated debate from fans.

As a football fan, I don’t want to downplay the value of either of these two players. However, if forced to choose, I believe that CR7 possesses many factors that make him better than M10, so I am a diehard fan of CR7.

Ronaldo shines in many environments: CR7 has achieved great success at famous clubs such as Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus. He is always the leader who leads the team to glory, despite different environments and teammates.

And Messi is only successful in one shirt. Although Messi has been with Barcelona for a long time and has achieved many brilliant achievements, the fact that he only shines in one environment will make many people, including me, question his ability to adapt. M10. No matter how powerful a dragon is, if it stays in one sea forever, is it any different from a stagnant pond?

2. Inspiration for the young generation of players

Although he does not possess natural talent like Messi, Ronaldo makes up for it with hard work and relentless effort. The image of Ronaldo diligently practicing, going to the gym, cultivating his courageous fighting spirit is a great source of inspiration for the young generation, encouraging them to pursue their dreams, such as Kylian Mbappe.

As for Messi – a natural genius, however, I find it less inspiring in terms of effort than Ronaldo.

Messi is famous for his outstanding dribbling, passing and creating abilities. Especially recreating the dribble past many opponents and then hitting the net like Maradona. However, his ability to finish, take free kicks and play with his head is not as impressive as Ronaldo’s. I think CR7 is a bit better because of its more comprehensive skills.

Ronaldo is a scoring machine and Messi is an artist on the field. But unfortunately, I’m not a dreamer.
