Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, twin modern colossuseseseses of the game, seemingly entwined by their greatness – numerically speaking of course.
For your delectation, here are 106 moments of sheer footballing godliness (give or take a few), i.e, every single one of the 53 goals that the pair notched respectively during 2010/11…
Happy Tuesday afternoon everybody.

think you’ve got the ronaldo video wrong…
try this
here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07VY_50uPTs
ah yes, C. Ron.
a true future potential Sex God
Errm…the Ronaldo video has about 3 goals in it. Not 53.
Cheers guys, embedded the wrong video by mistake then my interweb connection crashed into the abyss for three hours – great stuff.
@Rich: That’s the video that was meant to go up!
Goddamn, Messi scores some lovely goals.
Man, I wish there was some Ray Hudson commentary in the Messi video.
@Chris great minds eh lol
This for me is like having Pele and Maradona in their peaks around at the same time, except the quieter and probably better one is the argentine
comparing ronaldo’s goals to messi’s,
it is noted that most of ronaldos goals are due to power, speed and good positioning(for the tap-ins)
if you look at messi’s goals, most of them based on ball control, technical ability, precision and absolute brilliance.
so ronaldo fans, you wanna tell me who the best player in the world is???
Ronaldo’s goal stats are inflated. the last 4 matches proved he just scores to pad his numbers. the whole team was working for his goals, rather than his goals contributing to the success of the team. quite the contrary his goals are very useless. he scores hat tricks against teams that are already 4 goals down to boost his numbers. Messi scores goals that win games. messi puts in match winning performances whereas CR disappears in big games.
When madrid or barca are tied or losing:
Ronaldo: 15 goals (11 Leading goals / same amount as benzema)
Messi: 25 goals (22 leading goals)
When madrid or barca are up by 3 or more:
Ronaldo: 20
Messi: 5
wow.
Two completely different players.
Both are fantastic.
@ 1:25
xavi, brilliant.
messi’s the greatest player alive, but xavi tugs all the strings and provides his teammates with perfect passes.
ronaldo is the clear number 2 in the world of football. let it go CR9′ers.
*active, not alive.
Ronaldo’s goals don’t have nearly as much magic as Messi’s goals do. Plus, he had plenty of set piece shots. For me, Ronaldo isn’t even number two. My nigga, Xavi, is number two.
Messi co-operates with his team mates and is humble which makes him the best player inthe world.
