But he didn't exactly make a decisive contribution in the final did he?

Lionel has been in 4 finals, lost them all and made a split decision because the heartbreak from the last one was enough, he wants to bring a trophy home and is normally the one who is blamed when they lose (like there aren't 11 men on the field). It won't be his last game for Argentina, that's for sure. If it is, why not say anything about Mascherano, Higuain and Di Maria who are going to retire also?
Messi still cannot be knocked off the best ever spot purely because Ronaldo's team-mates won a final.

But Teo10 sums up my thoughts on this... the fact that Ronaldo got his hands on the trophy on Sunday does not *prove* he is a better player than Messi. Messi has achieved at least as much at international level.

Ronaldo also get a lot of blame if they don't win, just like Messi.

What was his celebration about at the final whistle?? Does he really find it so hard to congratulate his team mates (the ones who won the Final)?

The idea that Ronaldo must now be a better player than Messi just because he has won a major international tournament is a bit strange to me.
Is Pepe now a superior defender to Paolo Maldini? Is Nikopolidis a better goalkeeper than Edwin Van Der Sar?
Both Messi and Ronaldo have had fantastic club careers (Messi -28 trophies, Ronaldo -17) and both have performed well in international teams that have not always been easy to be a part of. Messi has played in 4 major international finals, Ronaldo 2 and Messi actually has a better goalscoring record than Ronaldo at international level (albeit with a minimal difference). Winning a Euros with Portugal is a wonderful achievement for Ronaldo but does it make him the better player. Not imo.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017.

I am sure a lot of people have said Ronaldo and Messi cannot be considered as the best unless the have won International tournaments.
Ronaldo has.
Messi can't.

How is it in UK if someone is successful iin business/sport/whatever they are immediatly looked on as having cheated /taken drugs/have an ego/are bad mannered etc etc etc ?
Often think those that criticise belong to the
"IF I CAN'T HAVE IT WHY SHOULD YOU " club
I enjoy watching Renaldo / Messi etc for what they are " Top class entertainers " !!
God knows there are few of them about !!
I enjoyed the talents of Pele/Best/ Stan Mathew's/ Gordon Smith et al over the years and am happy to enjoy the talents of these two !!

Your opinion seems to be that Ronaldo is now proven to be a better player than Messi. Others (including me) disagree. Let it be.
