But it is worth noting that Ronaldo's natural brilliance has been amplified by his own astounding dedication to honing his technique and incessant practise, but also sculpting himself into a quite amazing physical specimen, almost superhuman in its power, speed, agility and physicality. He can run faster, jump higher and hit harder than most other footballers. And is also technically marvellous.
Messi also has that dedication, but in terms of the "modern footballer" of his time, no amount of gym work can make him 5 inches taller. So while he obviously has many natural gifts - low centre of balance, speed etc - he lacks some of the more obvious physical attributes that Ronaldo has.
And he's STILL better.
