Boss - Messi or Ronaldo?

It's the question that most football fans have been asking over the past few seasons. Who do you think is better - Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo?
Sir Alex Ferguson will be at the Bernabeu to judge for himself when Barcelona's Argentinian phenomenon goes head-to-head with Real Madrid's Portuguese superstar.
The United boss hopes he will have to deal with one of them in the Champions League final at Wembley after securing a 2-0 first leg lead against Schalke but admits it's difficult to choose between the two.
Of course, he knows Ronaldo inside out from working with him at Old Trafford and still has great admiration for the former Reds goal-machine.
"Well, I had Ronaldo here as a player and I think he is the best player in the world," Sir Alex told ManUtd.com. "He can play with both feet, he has fantastic skill, strength and bravery, and he’s a greater header of the ball. But Messi is an absolutely fantastic player also.
"It’s difficult to choose between the two, it’s the toss of a coin.
