66% of Former Pros Name Ronaldo Over Messi in Career Debate

A study by The Athletic asked 100 former footballers who had the better career between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The poll shows 66% favor Ronaldo’s achievements. He won league titles in England, Spain and Italy and led Portugal to Euro 2016 and a Nations League trophy. Messi claimed multiple Champions Leagues with Barcelona, World Cup glory and two Copa America wins before moving on to Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Miami. Interestingly, when asked which player they would rather have featured alongside them, 72% picked Messi over Ronaldo. The GOAT debate rages on: greater career haul for Ronaldo, greater playing experience with Messi.
