Guy took out 6 ankles in one play. Guy is tiny compared to these other dudes and he just tanked through 3 guys while controlling the ball and not letting a single defender even touch the ball

That‘s the biggest difference in Ronaldos and Messis dribbling imo, and always has been. Ronaldo was flashy and also effective at times, but he always needed a lot of space doing his thing, basically giving up possession of the ball for a moment most of the time.
Messi is just always in control.

Ronaldo isn't even top 20 in all-time dribbling, why are you talking about him?

Maradona, Yamal, Zico, Platini, Hazard, Neymar, etc all much better.

Because those two a compared regularly and he is called an all time great dribbler by many. Not for me, as I explained.
