Both of them have been able to retain their positions of being the world best players for a long period of time.
Though there are similarities between the two professional players but the purpose of this article is to discuss about their differences.
Messi is a senior player at Barcelona while Ronaldo plays for Juventus. They play from different positions at their clubs and international levels. With the contributions of their teammates, they always play a significant role in all football matches they play at their respective clubs and international levels.
Other Differences Between Them Include;
