Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Lionel Messi: Who is the GOAT

(Titles)?

The daily question of “who is better beteen Messi and Cristiano” has been daminated the
minds of all the footbal fans everywhere for the past decade and will continue in the near
future.

Today, I´m writting about the titles that they have achieved:

Cristiano Ronaldo is from Portugal, and Lionel Messi is from Argentina, so they usually
don´t play the same national trophies. So, first of all, Lionel Messi has a World Cup, being
the current champion of the trophy, and Cristiano does not have that title. Messi has a
trophy from the 2008 Olympic Games, and Cristiano doesn't have that title either. On the
contrary, Cristiano takes the point this time, since he has 5 Champions Leagues, and Messi
is close with only 4.
And finally, in total trophies won by his team, Cristiano has 4 trophies in his showcases
with his Portugal team. And Messi, on the other hand, has 7 trophies with his native
Argentina, letting us see that Messi does a better job with his team than Cristiano with his.
In total trophies obtained adding both players is a sum of 51 trophies, where Cristiano has
22 trophies, and Messi with 29 trophies, making it clear who is the best.
