How Cristiano Ronaldo And Lionel Messi Compare Throughout FIFA Games

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been long standing rivals since CR7s move to the Bernabéu in 2009 and have both produced many spectacular El Clásico games since.

They both played against each other for the first time when Manchester United played Barcelona in the 2007/8 Champions League semi-final, which United would go on to win.

Both are considered the greatest players of their generation, and of all time, have scored over 600 goals for club and country as well as 50 goals in a single season.

By FIFA 10 both were in full swing for their clubs and as such Ronaldo was rated 93, and Messi 91.

When FIFA 11 rolls around we begin to see a change as Messi takes a slim advantage in the ratings 90 to 89. During this time Messi's Barcelona had won La Liga and knocked Real out of the Champions League and between 2009 and 2012 Messi won four consecutive Ballon d'Ors.
