Messi dragged his team to 4 finals though?

One game (he didn't even play) doesn't decide who is better.

No, theyre the highest ranked because theyre absolutely loaded with big name players. They have more offensive superstars loaded on that team than any other national team. Yet they still cant win an internation torunament, which Ronaldo just did with a team of no names.

Yeah but his MAGICAL AURA didn't rub off on his team making them win, unlike OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR RONALDO.

Portugal just won the final without Ronaldo, clearly Portugal's team isn't just "Ronaldo & Co."

Ronaldo may be better than Messi, but this match had nothing to do with it.

Yeah and then choked them all. Look at any NBA discussion comparing Lebron james to michael jordan - it's worse to lose in the finals than it is to lose before. Once you are in the finals you need to be clutch and put it away. choking in the finals shows mental fragility and is the worst a superstar player can do.

So glad a lot of you don't agree with this nonsense

Aren't you winning by default if you're not a convicted felon?

That's right, the tournament is what had something to do with it not this match alone. In the end Portugal won the trophy due to Ronaldos heroics during the tournament as a whole with decent help from Pepe.

Lol never. Ronaldo is a great player, no doubt. Messi is the GOAT
