VS
RONALDO
THE RIVALRY...
We can see that Messi scores mostly with his left foot, using his “bad leg” in around 1 of every 7 goals. His headed goals are less common because of his height.
Cristiano scores mostly (5 from every 7 goals) with his right foot. He makes around 1 of every 7 goals with his left foot and 1 from every 7 with his head.
Messi scores a slightly higher percentage of goals than Cristiano away from home and on neutral ground, while Cristiano scores a few more goals at home, although the percentages of both are quite similar in this respect.
Regarding the types of goals they scored we see that, despite having fewer goals than Cristiano, Messi has scored more times in open play while Cristiano has best records in set pieces both from the penalty spot and free kicks.
Both players are great in their own job. Messi is a forward whreas Ronaldo is a winger. Both score a large number of goals, both have broken a number of records and both are sharing the FIFA best plaer of the year form the past 8 years.
Both the players are at the top due to their hardwork and training.
