    The fact he is even considered to be Messi's equal, or worse still 'better', is testament to that.

    Nailed on Ronaldo, and hard to argue it with the success he's had.

    Believe that'll be 5-5 between two of the GOATS.

    Which gives a seriously distorted picture of their respective abilities.

    Technically, agreed. But it's hard to argue with the stats, goals, numbers, trophies Ronaldo has produced/won in those 5 Ballon d'Or winning years.

    He fully deserves to be up there with Messi.
