When it comes to World Cups, you just cannot compare Cristiano Ronaldo to Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo's World Cup record: 8 goals, 1 assist in 22 games
Messi's World Cup record: 16 goals, 6 assists in 27 World Cup games
Take out Ronaldo's hat-trick against Spain in 2018, and he's scored 5 in 21 games.
10 of Messi's World Cup goals have come after the age of 35.
Throw in their record in the Euros vs Copa America:
Ronaldo: 14 goals, 7 assists in 30 games
Messi: 14 goals, 18 assists in 39 games
Ronaldo did more than anyone to push Messi to new heights, and deserves more respect than he often gets i 2026 for his achievements as a footballer.
But in terms of their impact at major tournaments? There is really no comparison.
