Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Messi: which player was worth more in his career?

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the two greatest players that have marked an era in the soccer world during the past decades. The Argentinian and the Portuguese won almost every single award given and played for the teams which reigned in Europe and the international competition.

The comparison is always present between them, and it exploded in its best moment, when Messi played for FC Barcelona and Cristiano for Real Madrid, times in which they met each other every year in El Clásico giving the entire world some tremendous show in the clash of the two best ones of the planet.

Messi has always kept loyal to Barcelona for now. After 20 years at the Catalan side, he is near to leave, as he hasn’t been well treated during the past months and is thinking on a move, being Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City the clubs with more chances to sign him. During his career, his value reached the top in 2018, when he was valuated at $180 million.

Cristiano was formed in Sporting CP, but differently to Messi, he played for tree more teams: Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus. The best value he reached in his career was in 2014, 2015 and 2018, three years in which his quotation was $120 million. All these numbers were published by specialized website Transfermarkt.
