    Comparing them by trophies doesn’t make sense to me as the other ten players play just as important a role domestically and internationally.

    Only when they retire will there be a proper perspective on how amazing they both were.
    Messi has much better players around him at Argentina.

    So it makes Ronaldo's achievement even more impressive.

    Exactly. In no major tournament have I seen Portugal as favourites to win or having a strong squad man for man. That's what makes Euro win a more impressive achievement for sure.

    Yeah, where was Messi at the Euros?

    Denmark weren’t favourites when they won it. They didn’t even qualify for it.

    Also the competition and teams in Euros > copa america.

    It continues to get even more impressive.

    Iceland, Hungary, Austria, Croatia, Poland, Wales and France.

    I think you're overreaching here.

    Maybe we should measure the quality of Messi and Ronaldo by how many chances they create?

    It doesn't change the fact that Messi has never won a WC or Copa America. Hasn't he been to the finals of the Copa 3 times or something and lost them all even missing a penalty? Argentina have been blessed with some great players over the years so it's a surprise.
