Congrats to one of the.greatest teams of all time. They are truly a dominant side, so much so that other very good teams would love to have their 13th, 14th, Hell, 18th best player.
Today was dominated by Modric, Casemiro, Marcelo, Isco, and of course, Ronaldo's finishing. He is a special player, no doubt, but he is not on the level of Messi. It's almost silly to compare the two now, as they're not anything alike.
Four years ago, yes, they could be compared as they both dominated the game in much the same way. Now, no. Ronaldo's true comparison now is Lewendowski, who is also a great finisher surrounded by great creators, providers, and ball-possessors.
Again, Ronaldo is among the greatest to ever play, but cries of GOAT are from fans. Messi is better, always will be. Ronaldo might win another ballon do'er this year, but it will be because his team was better than Messi's, not because he was better than Messi.
Honestly, Barca might be in big trouble for quite a few years, as they have many decisions to make about their team, while Real just won Europe with 2 of the most expensive players ever on the bench. But Messi is the true GOAT, never seen anything like him, probably never will again.
