Messi v Ronaldo -

[The Choonies]

4 GOALS for Messi and 1 for Ronaldo on Saturday 6th May has almost finished the race between the 2 players. That's Messi on 50 goals in the Spanish league and Ronaldo has 44. What a contest!!!

But the golden boot will be Messi's once again. That's Messi's 8th time he has scored 3 or more times in a game. He has broken so many records this year and he;s still 23.

Real Madrid win the league though and The Special One has done it again.

What a goal feast these 2 players have served up for 2 years running.

Two years ago Messi won it with 34 goals, last year Ronaldo won it with 40 goals.

This year the competition is even closer, better and with only 5 games to go in the Spanish League.

The big prize is given to the player who scores the most league goals in Europe but I have shown below all their goals just so you can see what amazing seasons they are having.

I am hoping Ronaldo does it as he is overshadowed by Messi but his achievements are amazing too.

But together and individually they are breaking so many records with the sheer amount of goals they have scored this year. Last year both scored 53 goals in all competitions - 106 goals - and they have already reached that total.

So is it going to be Messi or Ronaldo. Only a few games to go and both on 41 goals.

Update - Ronaldo now on 42 goals

They play each other on the 21st of April with Real Madrid 4 points ahead as of now.

Update - Barcelona 1 - Real Madrid 2 and now 7 points ahead

From todays telegraph:

Yet Messi, the little magician with the big heart, has never scored against Chelsea, a statistic that brings delight to the Shed but ignores that the Argentine has lifted his game to Olympian heights since 2009. The simple fact is that Messi has scored 63 goals this season and is a phenomenon, making even Cristiano Ronaldo, who is enjoying a stellar season, appear a mere mortal.

It has to be Messi

[David Emmerson Nicholson]

They are both skillful and leave everyone dazzled. Ronaldo has at least set the Premiership alight and now La Liga, would love to see Messis talent in the Premier league!

I'll go for Messi, but if you asked me which one is the best player...cant say. These guys are both simply brilliant. Wizards with a footie ball!
