Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's storied rivalry
provided another chapter as Real Madrid and
Barcelona battled again for La Liga supremacy in
2016-17. For the first time since 2012, it was Ronaldo's Madrid
that lifted the league title as the Portuguese scored in
a 2-0 win at Malaga to leave Zinedine Zidane with a
LaLiga winners' medal after his first full season as
head coach, while Los Blancos also have a Champions
League final on the horizon. But it was Messi that came out on top individually as
he took home the coveted "Pichichi" award for
finishing as the league's top scorer - the fourth time
he has done so compared to Ronaldo's three,
although the Argentina star made five more league
appearances. Using Opta stats, we take a look at how Messi and
Ronaldo compared in terms of goals this season. 33 - Real Madrid have won their 33th La
