Once the smoke and dust has settled, then we can talk legacy. It's too fresh to talk about now. Messi, as great as he is, people still question whether he'd be able to do what he's doing outside of Spain and Barca. As for Ronaldo...he's turned into a complete beast in Spain. He had that crazy season for United but we was never an unstoppable force.
