Ronaldo doubled down and become even better after 30, Messi kept a high an extraordinary level but he was far from his best (even if he managed to lead ARgentina to the WC)
Unless you purely compare stats, Ronaldo pre-30 is better than Ronaldo post-30. What he has going over his pre-30 days is winning. 3 b2b2b Champions Leagues and the Euro 2016 means his post-30s are greater than his pre-30s, but purely in terms of overall player performance, 06-14 were his peak. But with all that he has a GOAT level career just considering his post 30 career
Ronaldo after 30: over 400+ goals, 2 Ballon D’ors, 2x FIFA best, Euro 2016, championships in Spain and Italy, three Champions League back to back
Messi after 30: 250+ goals, 3 Ballon D’ors, World Cup 2022 win, 1x FIFA best.
Most players start going downhill after 30 these mfs doubled up on their individual awards and achievements
But Messi and Ronaldo caseses seem different.
