Soccer Head-to-Head

Lionel Messi vs. Cristiano Ronaldo

This is an analysis which will decide who is the best soccer player in the world.

Speed:

Lionel Messi is easily the fastest soccer player in the world. Ronaldo is speedy also but in a foot race he would be eating Messi's dust.

Cristiano Ronaldo has an outstanding header, one of the best in the world even. Meanwhile, Messi, at Five Foot Eight is much too short and lacks a great header.

Winner: Ronaldo

Keeper Abilities:

Neither player has any known keeper abilities.

Winner: Draw

Power:

Ronaldo has an amazing amount of shot power whereas, it's still a weak point in Messi's game.

Accuracy: 

Both players have such incredible accuracy I don't know how I could pick either player. 

Winner: Draw

Footwork:

Lionel Messi has the best footwork out of anyone in soccer history. Ronaldo isn't too bad, either, but this is Messi's signature skill. 

Winner: Messi

That's the end of the analysis. So, who's the best player? It's hard to tell but I've got to say Ronaldo because of his experience.

Overall Winner: Cristiano Ronaldo
