Goals. Many goals. It was this, and much more, for sure, that Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi accustomed us throughout their respective careers. Looking at this statistic, the Portuguese international Juventus has been put on an accelerated flight to the Argentine from Barcelona this season.
When they stepped onto the Camp Nou pitch, this Tuesday, to face off for the first time since Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid, at Barcelona-Juventus on the sixth day of the Champions League group stage, CR7 had the best data than Messi. With the two goals scored by the Italian national team striker in that game, the distance was even greater.
Cristiano Ronaldo now has 12 accurate shots in the 10 games he played with Vecchia Signora in the 2020/21 season, while Messi, in the same period, has just seven goals in 14 games for the Catalans. Of the Portuguese goals, four were obtained in the conversion of penalties, while the Argentine has five goals scored in this way, from the 11-meter line. CR7 averages more than one goal per game, while LM10 needs two games to score a goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo was only blank in two of the games he played with Juventus, the first against Ferencváros, for the Champions League, and the second with Torino, in Serie A. Messi was without beating Barcelona in eight challenges, three of them consecutively. The Portuguese has scored two goals in four games, the Argentine in just one.
In collective terms, both Juventus and Barcelona are experiencing atypical seasons, as neither leads the respective league. It is true that the crisis is more implanted in the Spanish than in the Italians, but the positive effect of Cristiano Ronaldo, 35, on the results of Juventus is much more evident than that of Messi, 33, in Barcelona. If not, look: in the 10 games in which he participated this season with Juve, the Portuguese had eight victories and two draws and still does not know the taste of defeat, while the Argentine, for Barça, has seven victories, five losses and two draws.
This eternal rivalry between the two, which Cristiano Ronaldo refuses to acknowledge, has delighted lovers of the beautiful game over the years and, as for the reunion on Tuesday, Juventus took the opportunity to respond to Barcelona on social networks, reacting to a provocation carried out by the Catalans after the duel between the two teams in Turin, a match in which CR7 was left out for being cured of covid-19.
At that time, Barcelona achieved a 2-0 victory in Turin against Juventus and, in the caption of a picture of Messi, he shot on Twitter: “” We were happy that they could see the best of history in their Lawn “. Vecchia Signora responded immediately:” You probably got the wrong dictionary. Let’s take the real one to the Camp Nou ”. And now he has returned to the charge: “We keep our word: we brought him.”
