My two cents worth,
having so much talent with the left foot , with the right, with both, in th air... the foresight to read the game and adjust accordingly, etc is what makes the individual player rise above the rest of the pack. To me there is only one attribute that brings a smile to my face when watching a match... The player/s who pull their team mates... who push their colleagues, who will battle to the final whistle and never say die attitude, not for individual glory, but for the team. For the point.

A few come to mind, but the player who stands out, for me, at club and international level, was Maradonna.
In other words, a leader of men, on the pitch.
Whether Messi or Ronaldo equal or surpass this type of player, I'll make that judgement when they retire and rest their ugly looking feet.
Until then best wishes to them and their accomplishments...all the trophies, medals, awards, etc are only stepping stones to my big picture.

At this stage in Messi and Ronaldo's careers, I think you can guess which one I am leaning towards.
