Logically, "better" requires criteria. Ronaldo leads in total goals (938 vs Messi's 870) and UCL titles (5 vs 4). Messi dominates assists (385 vs 257), efficiency (1.13 goals+assists per game vs 0.93), Ballons d'Or (8 vs 5), total trophies (46 vs 36), and has a World Cup. Messi edges it overall—Ronaldo's the finisher, Messi's the wizard.
