Showcasing why Messi 🇦🇷 is the most important player for his team when compared to Ronaldo 🇵🇹

Also showing Messi's scoring prime is longer than Ronaldo's.

Will be looking at number of games scored in each season and also with assists too.
Seasons when scored OR assisted in 30 games or less (since 08/09)

CR: 5️⃣ ❌
(08/09, 09/10, 15/16, 17/18, 18/19)
Leo: 0️⃣ ✅

Seasons SCORING in more than 30 games?

Leo: 6️⃣ ✅
CR: 4️⃣ ❌

Leo last scored in > 30 games in 18/19

Ronaldo? 14/15

But....Messi had a short prime 🤡
Total games scored in:

Leo: 3️⃣7️⃣0️⃣ (60%)✅
CR: 3️⃣3️⃣9️⃣ (58%)❌

Looks close? If you exclude pens....

Leo: 3️⃣4️⃣1️⃣ (55%)✅
CR: 2️⃣9️⃣1️⃣ (50%)❌

Total games scored or assisted in:

Leo: 4️⃣4️⃣6️⃣ (72%)✅
CR: 3️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ (68%)❌

Remove pens...

Leo: 4️⃣1️⃣7️⃣ (67%)✅
CR: 3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣ (59%)❌
Top 3 number of games in a season where their only goals were penalties:

Cristiano
1 - 1️⃣0️⃣
2 - 7️⃣

Messi
1 - 5️⃣
2 - 4️⃣

The difference in relying on penalties is massive.
Also Cristiano's 4 seasons with over 30 games scored in was 11/12 to 14/15 only (4 year period)

Messi's are from 10/11 to 18/19 (8 year period)

Messi's scoring peak started 1 year before CR's and he last done it 4 years after him, as well as doing it 6 times to Cristiano's 4 😱
Thats just talking about goals and Leo is once again superior.

Imagine if we focused on other parts of the game 😂😂😭
