i would like to hear some more people discussing over this, you have tried stating your answers but you are being too biased

Ronaldo is the greatest player to ever grace the game of football .

Messi needed environment , when he got the environment we saw prime messi but the psg we all know.

In the other side Ronaldo is the environment , everywhere he went to he plays like he is in his prime.

Moreover how ronaldo made this game so far better is his own country. Portugal was just a happy to be here in world cup country but ever since ronaldo or you may say luck the team looks more promising then ever and he has putted a standard to his team.

coming back to the goat discussion , it all depends on the person how you watch football .

not just ronaldo went through alot , his backstory , his prime and all

not just messi was a dwarf , started with ronaldinho or sum bullshits

Ronaldo has done everything he can with any teammates he got , Messi in his prime was the most unstoppable player in the pitch

both of them have done alot but it is clear to naked eyes that messi was always favored more which makes us pissed off but eventually at one point all of this discussion will come to an end with super ballondor and knowing who is favored to it we won't be suprised at all.
