Lionel Messi is a professional soccer/footballer who plays for FC Barcelona. He originally comes from Argentina, and was born 24th of June 1987. He is known for many goals and getting passed through the defense. Messi received the Ballon d’Or and 2009 FIFA World Player of the Year nominations by the age 21.This year Lionel Messi received the Ballond’Or and 2011 FIFA World Player of the Year nominations. Lionel Messi started playing football at a young age and is a role model for other players as well. Messi then had the most successful season of his playing career, 2008-09 seasons, in which he scored 38 goals to play an integral part in a treble-winning campaign. This record-breaking season was then eclipsed in the following 2009-10 campaign, where Messi scored 47 goals in all competitions, equalling Ronaldo's record total for Barcelona. He surpassed this record again in the 2010-11 seasons with 53 goals in all competitions.
On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the top players in the league. Also, he is known for his great plays and footwork. His footwork is able to contact with the ground in movement and all movement is initiated off the ground. It is the feet that must absorb shock on ground contact and then use those forces to propel the body in the desired direction. Ronaldo began his career as a youth player for Clube de Futebol Andorinha de Santo Antonio, where he played for two years, before moving to Clube Desportivo. In 1997, he made a move to Portuguese giants Sporting Clube de Portugal. Ronaldo's precocious talent caught the attention of Manchester United manager Alex Fugison, who signed the 18-year-old for $12.24 million ($15 million) in 2003. The following season, Ronaldo won his first club honour, the FA Cup and played at Euro 2004 with Portugal.
