This argument as being raging on for almost as far back as to when, both men turned into club regulars for their both respective teams and its an argument some choose to stay completely away from because of the solemn reasons, that either can’t be separated on their level of consistency, record-breaking, and breath-taking performance and ability to deliver when it matters weeks after weeks in their respective leagues or on the biggest stage of all for club football, but the German tactician and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp believes Messi is a better player to Ronaldo. 
Though, he admits that both stars are superb and that he adores the two of them. He also reveals that his aim is to win laurels for the Anfield side after losing 3-1 to Real Madrid in last season’s Champions League final Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has admitted that he adores both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi for their exceptional performances for their teams. He however insisted that he would choose the Barcelona superstar as the better player between the duo who have dominated world football in the last decade. The two stars have won several awards on the world stage except for this year – with Luka Modric breaking the jinx after winning UEFA and FIFA The Best awards.
“That’s unfair again – just like [choosing between] the Champions League or Premier League!” Klopp told Sky Germany.”But I would go with Lionel. Although I adore both!” According to the Mirror, both Ronaldo and Messi might lose the Ballon d’Or to another star – the first time since 2007 as the report has it that Luka Modric, Kylian Mbappe or Raphael Varane are the front-runners for this year’s edition of the prize. Klopp never faced Lionel Messi, but suffered a 3-1 defeat when his side met with Real Madrid in last season’s Champions League final in May. When asked if he will be the one to restore Liverpool’s European glory, Klopp said that: “Liverpool didn’t do it [win the Premier League] yet,”. “For me personally it wouldn’t make such a difference, I would like to have both, that would be my favourite option.” Liverpool returns to Premier League action on Saturday with a visit to Watford, with Klopp’s men looking to stay in touch with table toppers Man City.
