Ronaldinho (in his prime) vs Messi

I'd rather watch Zidane and Ronaldinho

I'd rather have Messi if I was managing a side.

So you would rather have them in there prime before Messi?

At Liverpool I mean

How is this even a topic of controvesy?

One player gets you 50/60+ goals a season and just as many if not more assists.

The other gets you 20

Smalling

Breaking the all time record in a year aswell

no, i'd take messi to win more

As a neutral I'd rather watch Zidane or Ronaldinho for the sheer grace or outrageousness of the spectacle.

I think a few posters in this thread need to go back and read the original post. It is not a question of who is the better player - surely we all agree that is Messi? It is a question of who we prefer. Which for many of us comes down to pure entertainment and Ronaldinho comes out on top.

Whilst Messi has sustained brilliance, Ronaldinho was the more brilliant.

Messi seldom does things to get me off my seat. He brings his A - game nearly every time.

Ronaldinho on the other hand, whilst he often trouts out his C-game and even B-game, he occasionally produces an A-plus game.

Ronaldinhos invention and creativity surpasses Messi.
But Messi's enduring brilliance sets him apart.

Ronaldinho & Gazza style of play is what i love about football. One the other hand, Messi is so damn perfect he makes it the game seem too easy. With him you'll know he'll skim 5 players and round the keeper 3 times before getting on his hands and knees to head the ball in.
