That Messi™ goal against Eibar is super cool, or even some sick free-kick of his, but you have to score it against PSG or Juve, or against Malaga, Depor, Celta etc. Or in the 4 finals he lost with Argentina.
There's a reason Ronaldo will win his 5th BdO this year. He was crucial in winning the league and making yet another CL final. The only time Messi was the best player itw in these last 5 years, is when Suarez and Neymar were crushing teams left and right, he was nutmegging Milner and co. and the camera was focusing on Pep's reactions to hype it up.
Now that Neymar and Suarez are not at 100% anymore, Messi seems to have gone in that state of football where he is injured.
yeah, ima let you finish ruminating and quoting your own weird fantasies, but this pretty much, objectively, sums it all up, using as direct/comparable data as there possibly can ever be:
it does appear that messi's roughly 1.75x the player ronaldo is.

nah, idk if boring is the right word, but handing out such things has always been meh. and always will be. team sport, etc.
it sounds like you took the 100+ min commercial/vanity project/whatev it was ronaldo made of himself too seriously.
