Five differences between Ronaldo & Messi.



Article by Los Blancos
We’ve taken a closer look at Lionel Messi’s and Cristiano Ronaldo’s attributes, and here are the differences between the Barcelona star, and the Real Madrid talisman.

Shooting 
While we know that Cristiano Ronaldo loves to shoot with power over precision, the little master Lionel Messi prefers to place his shots with precision. Both different styles of shooting, but both very effective.


Dribbling
We’re often used to seeing Messi going on long and dazzling runs, and while it works for him, that’s not the way the superstar ‘CR7’ does it. Ronaldo barely even tries to beat his man with skill anymore – but maybe that’s just his maturity.

Heading 
The former Manchester United star is often known to be a more ‘complete’ player than Messi, and his great ability in the air seems to be everyone’s reason. It’s not often that Messi will out-jump his man, but Ronaldo does it time and time again.

Passing 
We often see Messi delicately play a great through ball for one of his Barcelona teammates, and it has to be said – he passes better than Ronaldo does. The Portuguese star has probably less creativity, but he still makes up for that in other departments.


Weaker-Foot 
Time and time again we see Ronaldo fire the ball home with his left-foot, but we unfortunately can’t say the same for Lionel Messi. The Argentine’s weaker foot is considerably weaker than his stronger left, but it clearly doesn’t hinder his goal tallies.

You can decide who you think is the best, but for me there is only one CR7.
