Is Ronaldo not older than Messi?

We'll see how many goals he scores next season and the season after that and then it's a fairer comparison.

there was a list of stats I saw for this season comparing Ronaldo & Messi, what it showed was that in terms of goals scored they are pretty equal but Messi was better in every other way; more assists, more passes, better passing accuracy, fewer shots per goal

that's because ronaldo is a selfish pr!ck as seen when he was at united.

concerning the dives C. ronaldo is still the king of dives. he knows how to play for them with his tricks.

so what your saying is that he has scored less goals than Ronaldo?

Ronaldo

2010/11 53 goals in 54 games
2009/10 33 goals in 35 games
2008/09 26 goals in 53 games
2007/08 42 goals in 49 games
2006/07 23 goals in 53 games

Messi scored 170 goals, Ronaldo scored 177 goals.
im not saying that, i saw the image on bbc website and thought it was pretty cool showing his progression, didnt want to get all 'anal' over stats... but 'anal mode=on' and looking at their whole career so far, IMO messi trumps him

ronaldo - 409 app, 208 goals, 82 assists
messi - 266 app, 177 goals, 73 assists

Or if you want to compare a similar time period, check messi's stats so far in his career at barcelona (7 years) and ronaldos first 7 years (sporting and manU):

ronaldo - 320 app, 122 goals, 60 assists
messi - 266 app, 177 goals, 73 assists

or, we could compare the 5 seasons that the picture shows and find out that ronaldo has scored more goals :salut:

Course he is, that's why he keep winning world player awards and constantly being compared to the greats of the game. Oh wait that's not Ronaldo.

I think their first 7 years is a much fairer comparison. I mean its all very well comparing recent years which conveniently leaves out Ronaldos early career as a dying swan.

Yes but different players peak at different times hence the here and now where both players are " at their peak " should be taken into account regardless of age
