There's a lot of debates between messi and ronaldo about who is the best football player at present... But I think ronaldo is the best. First of all messi gets a lot of support from his brilliant fellow midfielders.. But ronaldo is a complete player. He can assist and score without a sweat. He is strong and is very agile and fast. He is a goalmachine! So to me without a doubt ronaldo is the best fotball star at present.
Ronaldo is far far away better than messi
If there were no xavi, iniesta fabregas or other midfielders, messi will score rarely
And another reason that Ronaldo is a winger (Lst) and messi a forward (CST)
Ronaldo scores without xavi iniesta and other brilliant midfielders that messi have
He plays by his own and he himself plays at left wing and benzema at forward

Lionel Messi
Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi, born June 24, 1987, is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Inter Miami CF in Major League Soccer.

Hey! Hey! Something terribly went wrong. Who kept Ronaldo on the top? Messi is always the best. He is going to win his 5th Ballon d'Or this Year. He is a super human. Ronaldo on the top? You must be Joking! Messi had been suffering from hamstring injuryfor the past 1 month. But now, he is back. He is going to snatch his actual position. Wait and see.
Messi is the best footballer in the world. Ronaldo is not suppose to be the best because he won the FIFA ballon dor 2015 is that not a big reason to say that Messi is better than Ronaldo!?

The neymar haters! Warning you... Start loving him<3! He's DEFINITELY the next pele! Remember the semi's... When he wasn't there brasil lost 0-7! NEYMAR IS THE BEST! THE MOST HANDSOME!

Gareth Bale is so much better than Neymar. He has the speed, skills, shooting ability that Neymar can't even dream of!
He is the 2013 PFA Player Of The Year for a reason. Bale is the 2nd (or maybe 3rd) best in the world after Ronaldo.
Why on earth is Gareth Bale not top! He is PFA Player of the year and is the top scoring prem midfielder this season! He is epic
