Ronaldo easily,
Messi fits the Barcelona system perfectly; however, take him away from the likes Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets and co he is literally not that effective. Messi needs Barcelona more than Barcelona needs him. Spain/Barcelona has shown how effective their play is without Messi winning Euro and the World Cup and again is most likely to win Euro again. Messi in a stacked Argentina with outlets glory cannot even score a goal yet alone affect a match. Messi talents ONLY shine when his team holds majority of the possession and they strangle a team outside the box.
While Ronaldo is always a threat regardless of the situation of the game. Messi cannot affect a game unless his team controls 65% of the possession while Ronaldo can win a game with his team holding less than 50% possession. Ronaldo has more weapons can score anywhere with either head, feet or from a long range free kick, while Messi skills are limited to outside the box.
Put Ronaldo or Messi in Wigan and I can guarantee Ronaldo scores more and assists more.
PS; Those saying Messi won 3 world player of the year award are stupid. We all know that Wesley Sneijder should have won when he lead his team to a treble and a world cup final.
