Cristiano Ronaldo Beats Lionel Messi as the World's Most Complete Player – Marca
24 December 2009
Debates between Cristiano Ronaldo and the recently FIFA World Player of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi may never end.
Everyone shares their own opinion; the majority of football fans think that Barcelona’s playmaker Lionel Messi is currently the best player on the planet but Spanish tabloid Marca has other views.
In a rating containing ten different categories, Marca picked Real Madrid’s number 9 superstar Cristiano Ronaldo over Argentina’s number 10 forward, Lionel Messi.
Cristiano Ronaldo Fan gives you the opportunity to assess Marca’s results in full:
Collective Game: Cristiano Ronaldo 7-8 Lionel Messi (Messi wins)
Individual Technique: Cristiano Ronaldo 9-9 Lionel Messi (It’s a draw)
Physicality: Cristiano Ronaldo 10-7 Lionel Messi (Ronaldo wins)
Pace: Cristiano Ronaldo 9-8 Lionel Messi (Ronaldo wins)

Mental Game: Cristiano Ronaldo 9-7 Lionel Messi (Ronaldo wins)
Leadership: Cristiano Ronaldo 9-7 Lionel Messi (Ronaldo wins)
Free-kicks and Penalties: Cristiano Ronaldo 9-7 Lionel Messi (Ronaldo wins)
Out of these ten categories, there were six wins for Real Madrid and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo, two draws, and only two wins for Barcelona’s Argentine star player Lionel Messi.
Out of 100 possible points, Cristiano Ronaldo also picked as much as 79 points compared to Marca’s second best Lionel Messi who still grabbed 80 points in the end – one more point than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Overall however, Cristiano Ronaldo comes on top of Lionel Messi as the world’s most complete player according to Marca even if Lionel Messi may have more dribbling skills.

no matter what cristiano is the best on all levels, above all he is a superstar in the field game. hard luck real madrid
Cristiano is better than Messi totally , I think.
Of course, Messi is also great player but Cristiano has more strong mental, physical,
and variety of goals (FK, heading, etc.) than Meesi.
So that’s why I think Cristiano is better than Messi.
Cristiano Ronaldo number one ! ;x
I think the same as you, Peter V. Ciapha Jr (Shashy). Cristiano Ronaldo is the most complete. He is good everywhere.
Apart from been a Madridista,C.R is the d best player current playing at a pace far better than his closests rivals-Kaka n Messi.He sustained injury n came back n is presently the highest goal scorer in the first round of the champions league.
