Cristiano Ronaldo

Each of them have won the Ballon D'or multiple times. The Ballon D'or is the greatest individual player award that anyone can win. It is handed out each year, and if you are rewarded with it, you are considered the best player in the world. Lionel has won it more times then Cristiano, (4-2) but Cristiano has won it this year, so Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the best soccer player in the world.
Messi has always had unheard of dribbling skills, and Ronaldo has always had remarkable technique. They both, are quite entertaining
It is a heated rivalry, even outside of the World Cup. Once you watch them, you'll know why they have so many supporters and haters.
