Who’s faster Ronaldo or Messi?

You will have to look down to seventh position to find Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo, who has often been considered the world’s fastest footballer. At 32, the Portuguese striker slowed down a bit, reaching a maximum of 33.6 km per hour, while Barcelona’s Lionel Messi is in ninth place (32.5 km per hour).

Ronaldo is a much more marketable player than Messi. The main reason for this is his better football skills and great style on and off the field. So big companies see Ronaldo as a better marketing option than Messi. Ronaldo is a better athlete and knows how to face defeat.

The two players have dominated the world of football for more than a decade. Overall, Cristiano Ronaldo has 729 goals and 224 assists in 1,006 senior games, while Leo Messi has 700 goals and 296 assists in 863 games.

Ronaldo is the driving force behind his team.

Messi has won more titles mainly because he plays for a better team, not because he is a better player than Ronaldo. Throughout his career Messi has played for probably the best side to ever play this game.

Both Messi and Ronaldo exploit defender speed wise. While the Argentinian abuses them on short speed, Cristiano Ronaldo wins on top speed.

Messi’s top speed​

One of the fastest players in this sport is Lionel Messi. Lionel Messi was filmed running just as fast at 32.5km / h and is one of the fastest players in the world at that speed. Most important is the ability to maintain that speed even when you own the ball.

How fast can Ronaldo run?

Ronaldo reached a top speed of 32km per hour while running at 92m and interestingly, it only took him 14.2 seconds.

Cristiano is a sprinter. When in full speed, he is one of the fastest players in the world. His acceleration’s not that bad either, but he’s more fast than quick. If he is in fourth gear sprinting, you just won’t catch him. But if he is standing still, there’s a better chance of stopping him.
