5 things Lionel Messi does better than Cristiano Ronaldo

#2 Dribbling

Messi easily outclasses Ronaldo in dribbling

Hands down, even Ronaldo fans would agree to this. There's no player who can match the Argentine demigod's escapades when it comes to his ability to bulldoze past the tightest of defences with just pace and immaculate touches on the ball.

It's Messi's dribbling skills that inspires awe in anyone that watches him. Also, you can note a stark difference in their styles of play. In the time Ronaldo beats one defender with his step-overs and various other skills, Messi will already move past three or four of them with just his pace and ball control to rely on.

Since the 2009-10 season, Messi has made an average of 7.6 dribbles per game, 4.5 of which have been successful. The Real Madrid talisman falls miles behind him in this area. He has racked an average of 3.6 dribbles per game, with only 1.8 coming to fruition.

Also, Lionel Messi has a plethora of solo goals under his belt in comparison to the Real Madrid talisman. All that is down to his simple, yet magical dribbling.
