hmm... It is widely known that players are now must more protected by rules than 5 years ago. The fouls on Messis would be considered too gentle for Ronaldo (not C. Ronaldo)...

Widely known? I've followed the game for decades and haven't seen this. Messi takes a lot of punishment and rarely flops too.

Yes, very widely known. If you don't think the game was rougher 30 years ago, then you really haven't been watching very closely.
