Not only Messi has better stats, but also he has won more titles being 2.5 years younger. Messi is only 21; Ronaldo is 24.
Summing up:
Dribble: Messi (the ball is glued to his feet even at full speed)
Technical skills: Ronaldo (better footwork)
Header: Ronaldo
Long Shot: Ronaldo
Goals: Messi
Assists: Messi
Titles: Messi
Messi makes more goals and gives more assists. And while Ronaldo is capable of making goals from outside the box and displays beautiful foowork, he is not capable of taking down three defenders ... on the other hand, Messi can wipe out a whole defense.

Which one is more likely to make the difference? Well, according to statistics it looks as though Messi may just have the edge.
According to the table above (click to enlarge), in a similar number of appearances and minutes on the field, Messi is ahead of Ronaldo not only in goals scored (31 to 22) but also in goals created (16 to 8) and even chances carved out (97 to 74).
The Argentina midfield player has not had as many shots on goal, but seems to be more clinical in his finishing, converting 29% of shots compared to to Ronaldo’s 14%. 26 of Messi's goals have been scored from inside the penalty area, compared to 14 for the Portugal winger. So although both have identical shooting accuracy, it is hardly surprising that Messi scores more if he is shooting from closer range.
Of course, if you are looking for the long-range spectacular, Ronaldo is your man, as anyone who saw the explosive shot from 30 yards away to FC Porto will remember. And ask goalkeepers such as David James of England about Ronaldo's potency from direct free-kicks. Furthermore, he is more of a danger when the ball is in the air, with three headed goals to Messi's one.
But one especially revealing fact is that Messi does not appear to need the adulation of a home crowd or the familiarity of his home ground. He has scored 61% of his goals away from the Nou Camp compared to Ronaldo’s 23% away from Old Trafford - and that could make all the difference at Rome's Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday.
