Messi fans still need to put Ronaldo down so that their idol can appear on top, meaning without them realizing, their idol is still below Ronaldo. Only someone who is above can be brought down, not someone who is already below.

People's judgments vary. In my opinion, as long as I've been watching football, I see what's on the field. I don't need Ballon d'Or achievements, trophy after trophy. What I see is that Ronaldo has everything on the field: speed, dribbling, shot power, finishing, free kick, penalty, header, skill, long shot, acrobatics, etc.
For me, Ronaldo is complete, perfect, a perfect football player. That's why for me he is the greatest. I assess Messi as just a football player who runs past defenders, nothing special.
So is it wrong for me to judge based on my own opinion, to choose my own idol?
In my eyes, in my observation, in my brain, in my heart, Ronaldo is far greater than Messi.
Even if Messi wins a million Ballon d'Ors and a million World Cups, even if Messi fans shout to the seventh heaven that Messi is greater, for me Ronaldo is still far greater, above Messi.
I don't care about what Messi achieves, because for me Messi is just an ordinary football player.
I am free to express my opinion, I am free to choose who is the best according to me, and once again I emphasize, I don't care about your Messi, I don't give a damn, screw your idol. If you think your idol is greater than Ronaldo, that's up to you, and I don't care about your opinion. What is clear is that for me, Ronaldo is far above Messi😎
You Messi fans say Messi is the best, but you need to validate it by first insulting and bringing down Ronaldo.
I am a Ronaldo fan, saying Ronaldo is greater than Messi, without insulting Messi. In fact, I don't care at all about anything about your Messi😎
