I think they're still considered to be but honestly, I'm not sure. I think we're currently back in the standard situation where the best we can do is pick 11 players who are best in their specific positions. A few years ago Messi and Ronaldo were clearly playing above the level of everyone else, regardless of position, but I'm not sure that's the case now. I imagine Neymar will be the number 1 sooner rather than later but will even he transcend his position the way Messi and Ronaldo did?

I'd say it's both but on the level of focus, while Messi's clearly no slacker, I wonder if we'll ever see another player like Ronaldo. As a person, I admire him far more than I do Messi. His determination. The fact he's had to work for everything he's achieved. The ultimate football ubermensch.
