????????????Commentators don't drool anywhere near as much, that'll be why.
I suspect you may well be seeing that through bias eyes ?

In the Messi/Ronaldo debate, there are no neutrals.
Some people either think Ronaldo is the GOAT ............................ other people are wrong.
Cristiano Ronaldo is not even the best Ronaldo that’s ever been ??

Because pundits rightly appreciate selfless football. That's what sets him apart from the ego

Oh, I am definitely biased, everyone is to a certain degree, but even Lineker decided to have a Messi 'love in' after the game.
And 'love in' was his actual phrase, not mine.
Anyhow, we all know Messi is the 4th best player of all time.

Staggered Ronaldo isn't in your top 5, but maybe I'm not surprised at all.
He'd probably be in 99% of others' top 5.
For me it's as follows;
1. Ronaldo
═2. Maradona
═2. Best
═4. Messi
═4. Pele
I'd like to squeeze Le Tissier and Modric in, but they're not quite there.

When it’s comes down to ability, skill levels etc then nope he isn’t in my top 5 -
If you are talking just pure goalscoring then yes he would get into a top 5

Messi has been, by a long way, the best player ever. Yes, Ronaldo is/was the best goal scorer but Messi was a much better alround player and just wonderful to watch

In your opinion.
And that of millions of others.
I did see Renaldo live for Manure and he just sat on his backside all game moaning at the referee - Messi would have torn us apart ?

He does have a point to a degree. Even my 13 year old said the BBC were going well over the top!

But that's the beauty, there is no right or wrong here, it's just opinion.

Yeah, Ronaldo was awful for Man Utd. He just never managed to improve his game once he left Sporting Lisbon as a promising youngster. Ohh, what could have been....

I was lucky to see Messi a few years ago at Wembley against Spurs in the CL and it was one the best individual displays I've seen live. He barely moved into a sprint yet totally ran the game. Scored 2, started the moves that led to the other goals and hit the woodwork twice. Spurs were a brilliant side back then and they couldn't get near him. Masterclass

He was the day I saw him - moody, petulant, like a spoiled 5 year old, but then he was up against "The Mighty Eagles"
