Nice picture but it is not a substitute for a proper answer.

Doesn't matter. The Champions league is a stronger tournament than the World Cup.
I completely agree, but it does matter.
Messi and CRonaldo play for teams that have dominated the CL very strong teams that contain many good players, but internationally they play in teams that have sometimes been mediocre and have failed to impress, other great players of the past have similarly played in mediocre international teams but dragged them to victory anyway, to my knowledge no individual has won the CL almost singlehandedly, it requires more than one great player.
Messi and CRonaldo are fine players and as they are current people will naturally be familiar with them, but to dismiss great players from the past without (in many cases) knowing too much about them and the context they played in is not very clever.
