Leo is undisputed:
most Ballon d'Ors, most Golden Boots, way better goals per game ratio (0.80 to 0.72), most assists ever, most goals in FINALS of all time, only player with 1000+ G/A, dominated Ronaldo while he was at Real...

(5-0,6-2,4-0; 5-1 La Liga player of the year, 5-3 Pichichi, 6-2 titles, more goals and assists...), most IFFHS playmaker of the year awards, talent, passing, dribbling, vision, completeness, more trophies, 91 goals in a year, 73 goals in a season, most consecutive braces and...
games scored in, most international tournament MVP's, most MOTM awards ever, most assists and dribbles in World Cup history. Only player with a 10/10 rating in an UCL final.
Leo can start and finish the attack, while cr7 needs his teammates to supply him in order to score.
Leo can start and finish the attack, while cr7 needs his teammates to supply him in order to score.
60 mvp's without scoring a goal compared to Ronny's 8. 41 hattricks without a penalty goal to Ronny's 26. CR7 NEVER scored 50+ non-penalty goals in a season, Leo has done that 3 times. Leo has scored 50+ goals in 9 seasons compared to cr's 7. More outside the box goals.
VS top 3 sides Leo has 40 goals in 54 apps, Ronny 28 in 62. Since 2009, including pens, Leo has outscored cr7 in 8 of the 12 seasons, and excluding pens, in 10 of the 12 seasons. Fastest player of the two to reach 100-700 goals, the difference being 120+ games at each milestone.
Leo has 150 fewer games played, but is equal with Ronny on non-penalty goals, only 40 behind in total without ever being a pure striker. Messi scored more goals in 2012 than cr7 during his 6 years at Man United. VS the top 6, Leo has 26 goals in 34 games, while cr7 has 28 in 81.
70% of Ronaldo's international goals have come vs teams out of the top 50, most vs teams that have never qualified for the WC. VS UCL winners since 2000 Messi has 71g/a from 82 games compared to ronny's 52g/a from 101 games, vs WC winners Leo has 18g/a from 29 games compared...
to cr7's 4g/a from 27 games.
Messi in 18/19 had more g/a per game than Ronaldo had in ANY season in his career.
After Xavi, Iniesta and Neymar left Barcelona, Messi has won the playmaker of the year award, the pichichi twice, the ballon d'or, the golden boot,...

the UCL top goalscorer award, whilst since Ronny left Real all he has won is the dubai d'or, being outscored by Quagliarella and Immobile in the meantime.
90% of analysts, managers and players (aka people who understand football) pick Leo without a moment of hesitation,...

the 10% are some of cr7's teammates and managers (apart from names like Sir Alex, Giggs, Rooney, Scholes, Marcelo and so on).
During the 2010's:
Most Goals: Messi
Most Assists: Messi
Most chances created: Messi
Most dribbles: Messi
Most free kicks: Messi
Most Goals from outside: Messi
Most Ballon d'Ors: Messi
Most Golden Boots: Messi
Most FIFA Best Awards: Messi
Appreciate greatness.

Messi is clear, even in cr7's BEST attribute.
Remove shooting from both, and the tap-in penalty merchant is average, while Leo is still the GOAT dribbler, playmaker and assist provider. Ronaldo's biggest achievement is being compared to Leo by his fanboys. There is no debate.

(oh and by the way, Cruyff has a better goals per game ratio than cr7 excluding penalties, Lewa too).

âThe personification of nothing less than genius. Messi continues his pyrotechnic footballing show. If itâs not his passing, itâs the incredible dribbling technique and slingshot finish of this halo footballer!â
Lionel Andres Messi, simply put, the God of the Game.
