Fans who have been mentally pitting Ronaldo and Messi against each other in their minds couldn't help but take to Twitter to use this opportunity to put an end to the 'Who Is Better?' debate once and for all. https://twitter.com/SireHabbiibb/status/1008002263682514945 https://twitter.com/iamscholes/status/1008002179284852736 https://twitter.com/_Zeets/status/1008004836346998789 https://twitter.com/Espngreeny/status/1008004282627641344 However, some viewers did correctly point out that neither Ronaldo nor Messi were the ones to focus on in this debate: https://twitter.com/MHChehade/status/1008006660181422080 https://twitter.com/rodger_sherman/status/1008001166091980802
