The big difference between Messi and Cristiano is that even when Messi doesn't score he gets universally praised and people find him magical.. when Cristiano doesn't he doesn't give the same magical emotions to people and there must be a reason for that or does everyone hate Cristiano
Messi plays on a team that is built around him and has 70-80% possession, where he's the end of every attack. Ronaldo plays on the wing on a counter-attacking team that tries to feed the ball to the fwds (Benzema/Higuain).
The refs allow Ronaldo to be fouled over and over. That's what I'm worried about. A player can't get within 6 feet of Messi without getting a card.
Other than that, I think the papers have to say something about Ronaldo every day.
