Confirmed: Lionel Messi is the Best, Goodbye Cristiano Ronaldo

Four Champions League goals in 88 minutes against Arsenal were enough for Barcelona star Lionel Messi to corroborate his absolute reign in world football as an individual player.

Ahead of Ronaldinho, Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has long been regarded as the most stylish and talented player nowadays, but the remarkable work of Lionel cannot go unrewarded.

Lionel Messi totally dethrones Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo got his title as the “player carrying the most charisma” at Manchester United thanks to his teasing moves, and goal-scoring abilities.

The Portuguese winger is now at Real Madrid, but his maximum exposure is yet to overshadow the Barcelona ace Lionel Messi.

Messi has been the top personality in football recently, subsequent to his hat-tricks, doubles, fire runs, and countless through balls.

Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been compared together for some time now, in view of the fact that both players are presently regarded as the best footballers in the world.

This cannot be denied, but this season, Messi has certainly proved that he is the best, without any doubt.

Messi helped Barcelona to reach the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League by slapping Stuttgart with two goals at the Camp Nou; meanwhile Ronaldo failed to send Real Madrid into the next stage of the knockout phase after a loss against Lyon, who defeated the Castellans 2-1 on aggregate.

Messi is also the main man behind Barcelona’s contention for La Liga title,creating and scoring a good number of his team’s goals, with two hat-tricks for himself in the Spanish League.

Moreover, Messi is still the leader of the Castrol Rankings, as well as the greatest player from the public’s point of view.

The South American footballer is now the top scorer of the UEFA Champions League and La Liga with 34 goals to his name in both competitions.

Ronaldo surely doesn’t have such a record, and when it comes to using the feet to control the ball, Messi is unquestionably, The Professor.

Yesterday evening, Messi again showed that he was the best in the world by scoring Barcelona’s four goals against beloved side Arsenal in the second leg of the quarterfinals in the Champions League (watch highlights).

Probably, there is no need to remind that Cristiano Ronaldo has never scored four goals for a top football club in a match—he has only managed to make a single hat-trick in his career, among many doubles and lone goals.

Step down Ronaldo, it’s all over

Perchance, Cristiano Ronaldo can keep his hopes of becoming the public’s first choice once again; but at the moment, he is probably in catch-up mode.

The reigning FIFA Player of the Year truly doesn’t appear to be tired of stealing the spotlight after every single match he plays.

In reality, Ronaldo has only a few chances of coming back to his throne, as he lacks luck and support on the field.

Barcelona is undoubtedly the greatest team in the world as we speak, and their rivals Real Madrid have a lot of work to do to reach such a level of prosperity.

Of course, it is reasonable to think that the best player from the biggest club needs to be regarded as the best in the world by far, and this is just the case for Lionel Messi .

Messi is now even set above Diego Maradona by several Spanish coaches, and really, a World Cup trophy in July could put him above any player who has ever lived in the history of world football.

In the meantime, with possibilities of taking away five trophies this year and ending up as Europe’s major leagues’ top scorer, Lionel Messi can be sure to keep his individual awards; giving Cristiano Ronaldo no other option than to submit himself to his sovereignty.

In the end, it’s goodbye Cristiano Ronaldo.
