Your definitive proof that Messi is better than Ronaldo pic of the day*

*Apart from in the crucial areas of height and social media presence.

(h/t @OliverKayTimes)

IT’S THE QUESTION that football pundits are always asking: who is better between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi?

The pic above, provided by UEFA.com, compares the statistics of the two players in 2012, with Messi coming off best in every category bar height and social media presence.

Keep in mind too that the data is a week old, so Messi now has 84 goals this year, having scored twice against Athletic Bilbao in Barcelona’s 5-1 win on Saturday, and is now just one goal behind Gerd Muller’s 1972 record of 85.

Needless to say, Ronaldo can consequently have no complaints if Messi overcomes the challenge of the Portuguese star to win his fourth successive Fifa Ballon d’Or title on 7 January.
