What Messi did in 17 years, Cristiano achieved it in just 9 Years. Cristiano was much for effective than Messi. Plus Cristiano was much more economical, RMA made 100 millions of dollars when he left while Messi left Barcelona bankrupted which his high demands. So for me CR7 was the better one

Absurd comparison! Messi had been playing El Clasicos before Cristiano Ronaldo signed for Real Madrid. So the stats might not be fair!
