Messi's final data crushed Cristiano Ronaldo, and the difference in the performance of the peerless duo in the football world at critical moments is indeed thought-provoking. Looking at their performances in the finals of all competitions for club and country, Messi has scored 37 goals and completed 19 assists in 50 finals, averaging 074 with 0 assists38, an average of 1 goals per game12 pcs.
These numbers are almost the same as his career average, highlighting Messi's excellent performance in key moments. In comparison, Ronaldo scored 20 goals and provided only two assists in 35 finals, averaging 057 with 0 assists06, with an average of 063 pcs. These figures are significantly lower than his career average, suggesting that Ronaldo's performance in the final has declined.
Cristiano Ronaldo is known as Mr. Key, but the drastic reduction in final numbers has called into question his performance at key moments. Although some will mention that Ronaldo has played for big teams and even defeated Messi many times in the final, the truth is that Ronaldo's performance in the final of the national team is almost negligible.
And in the debate over the allocation of players, it would be unwise to belittle the role of Messi's team, as teams such as Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus are definitely not inferior to Barcelona. And, in the '22 World Cup, Portugal's team configuration was far better than Argentina's, but Ronaldo failed to achieve a good final performance in the national team.
Judging from the data, Messi's appearances, goals, assists and goal assist efficiency are far ahead of Ronaldo. In any case, it is undeniable that Messi has been able to maintain his excellent performance in the crucial finals, while Ronaldo has struggled to reach the average of his career when it matteres.
To sum up, although both players can be called peerless, in terms of performance in the final, Messi seems to have a certain gap with Ronaldo in the height of Mount Everest. Finally, such a data inventory and comparison undoubtedly provides football lovers with a topic for food for thought. What is the difference between the performances of the two superstars in key moments?Is this due to tactical arrangements or the influence of the players' personal form?
These questions are undoubtedly worthy of in-depth analysis and analysis.
