Why do so many still think Messi is better than Ronaldo?

CR7 has been playing in the desert for 6 months, Messi on the coast of Florida. You probably have to come to terms with the fact that both of them will probably never play against each other again, or at least not at the highest level.

Especially during the new years that Ronaldo was at Real, we witnessed an incredible rivalry in football. Two players fought for the title of world footballer for almost a decade. Nobody came close to Ronaldo and Messi because they were simply better than everyone else.

In addition, Messi played at Barca and Ronaldo at Real. Both were at their absolute prime at that time. Both are about the same age. Both usually dueled their clubs 3 or 4 times per season.

Do you think the Messi-Ronaldo rivalry, especially during the period when both played in the same league, was the best of all time in club football?

I would like to note that I don’t want to start a discussion about who is/was better. This has been discussed a thousand times. I don’t have an opinion on it myself, I’m just happy to have witnessed two players who have shaped world football for such a long time, with numerous duels against each other, one better than the next.

I am looking forward to your opinions.
