Ronaldo lacks some qualities Messi has.

Diego Forlan believes that Messi is ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo because of his match winning skills.
The Uruguayan believes that Messi still has the power to chnage a game by conjuring moments of individual brilliance whereas his Real Madrid does not.

Forlan who played together with Ronaldo at Machester United says that Ronaldo is now more of finisher in the Real Madrid team and has become less of a complete player the longer he has spent at the Santiago Bernabeu.
“There is one part of his game that I wish he would not have changed,” he wrote in The National.
“When I played with him and in his first years at Real Madrid, he used to go past players for fun, like Messi. Now he is more of a finisher, a killer in front of goal.

“Messi has that too, but he also has the ability to go past two or three players and change a game.”
Ronaldo and Messi are set to lock horns once again over the coming weeks as the battle to be named Ballon d’Or winner intensifies.
Ronaldo is the odds on favourite to win the award after he lifted the Champions League and won the Euro 2016 with portugal.
