Messi can only be said to be above Ronaldo if he wins the World Cup. Because if Pele and Maradona's careers can qualify as Mr. Ballon d'Or, then Pele has seven and Maradona has three. However, Maradona's status in football is above Pele. If Messi is the third-generation king, then Ronaldo is a player with 1:0 attributes. This kind of realm ball king may not have.
