Having seen both Ronaldo and Messi in person this world cup imo Ronaldo is far superior. Obviously he's scoring and Messi isn't but more importantly Messi spent more time hiding on the wings or behind his midfield then actually attacking.
Meanwhile Ronaldo is effectively attacking and putting it some proper defensive work. I was about 20m from some of his clearing headers and man he has a serious jump.
Also modric you little beauty. He was the real Messi tonight. A joy to watch and he works so hard off the ball to make space for himself, something Messi doesn't do.
