		<description>Red devil you chat complete shit.

Messi is better than ronaldo, end of. 
Ronaldo&#039;s attitude is a disgrace towards the game whereas messi&#039;s isnt. Ronaldo isnt a team player either, he plays for himself and the cameras. On the other hand messi doesnt, shown by the amount of assists he has. 
Also how many goals has ronaldo scored away from home this season? he&#039;s one of the most inconsistent players i have ever seen, of course he&#039;s good when he bangs 2 free kicks in against the likes opf stoke or west brom, but when it comes to Arsenal or Liverpool he does fuck all, literally.
A few fancy step overs from ronaldo usually gets him no-where now, its all hge does, everyone has lernt how to deal with it, shown by him not hitting it off this season. Messi goes past defenders asif they arn&#039;t there. 
Ronaldo only won it because of what he won last season.
As if he&#039;s better than Kaka, but kaka didnt win much with AC milan last season also so he didnt win it.


( Not even mentioning the fact ronaldo wanted to fuck you off to go to real madrid, good commitment to his team.)</description>

		<description>I FORGOT TO ADD

FROM AUGUST 2007 TO AUGUST 2008 

MESSI HAS 3 INTERNATIONAL GOALS
CRISTIANO HAS 4 INTRNATIONAL GOALS


On 19 March 2008, Ronaldo captained the United for the first time in his career in a home win over Bolton, scoring both goals in the 2–0 victory.[30] The second of the goals was his 33rd of the campaign, which set a new club single-season scoring record by a midfielder and thus topped George Best&#039;s forty-year-old total of 32 goals in the 1967–68 season.[31] Ronaldo scored another brace in a 4–0 win over Aston Villa on 29 March, which at the time gave him 35 goals in 37 domestic and European matches as both a starter and substitute. Ronaldo&#039;s torrid scoring streak was rewarded with his becoming the first winger to win the 2007–08 European Golden Shoe, finishing eight points ahead of Mallorca&#039;s Dani Güiza


I HOPE THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR YOUR BLOCKED FOOTBALLING BRAINS ABOUT A TALENTED PLAYER WHOSE A BIT COCKY AND IN THE FACE ABOUT HIM BEING THE BEST! THEN AGAIN DOESNT ALL GREAT PLAYERS HAVE ATTITUDE? FOR INSTANCE ZIDANE BUSTED THE POOR ITALIAN AND HE WAS A LEGEND! AND ZIDANE DIDNT HAVE THE BEST OF DISCIPLINE RECORDS!</description>

		<description>The stats seems to be incorrect, have Ronaldo played 28 matches this season? And have Messi scored 27 assists this season alone?!, That would mean that he have been involved in 42 goals, Thats more than Barcelona have scored in the League so far!</description>

		<description>Where did you get your statistics from? I am not really sure about Ronaldo but Messi&#039;s does not seem correct to me.
The statistics I have seen regarding Messi is 15 goals and 12 assists this season. 27 assists I am sure Messi has not done this season so far even if he has been crazy good.</description>
