A year ago when Lionel Messi was crowned with the 2009 Ballon d'Or and FIFA Player of the Year accolades, Madrid-based daily Marca ran a piece to argue that even though Messi was the best player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo remained the more complete player.
Goal.com did an assessment of our own based on the ten criteria set out by Marca, of which the results can be seen here. Now, a year later, with the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or winner to be announced Monday evening, we revisit the debate to find out who is the more complete player.
More Complete i give to Ronaldo.
I think messi has got better dribbling and collective game, but the rest i give to ronaldo - Physicality, Pace, Heading, FreeKick/Pens, Leadership and shooting there both on par.
