Cristiano delivered a one-touch defence-splitting assist for Al Nassr that left fans insisting that he's a better playmaker than Lionel Messi as the debate ...

But Ronaldo's latest run of performances has pulled him right back into the conversation. The debate about who's the best out of the pair has raged on for four years, although Messi was given the crown after he guided Argentina to the World Cup trophy. And it's the second time this month that fans have placed Ronaldo ahead of Messi in the ability rankings. And a fourth supporter added: "This is bigger than what Messi did in the entire WC. Then a third user scoffed: "Wake me up when Messi does this." And supporters were so impressed with Ronaldo's defence-splitting pass, they claimed not even Messi's capable of conjuring up the 38-year-old's wizardry.
