Ronaldo is better than Messi - fact
Spanish newspaper Marca has declared that Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo is a more complete player than Lionel Messi.
Messi was recently crowned FIFA World Player of the Year thanks to his heroics last season with Barcelona, but the daily's comprehensive statistical study has revealed that Ronaldo is, in fact, the better of the two leading lights.
Having studied the ability of both players in several categories, Marca declared that trying to separate the pair was as tough as "choosing between a mother or father". However the publication concluded that Messi's woes with Argentina were key to him finishing behind Ronaldo.
The Marca hierarchy also praised Ronaldo, who signed for Real from Manchester United last summer in a world record transfer deal, saying: "Ronaldo gives you the feeling that he can perform to his best in any environment."
Here's how Marca decided Ronaldo ruled the roost:
