5 Lionel Messi Records That Cristiano Ronaldo May Never Break by Seunkings02(m): 11:16pm On Aug 07, 2018
The greatest players of their generation and, possibly, the greatest footballers of all time, since the duo took to the football pitch, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been mesmerizing people with their enigmatic displays for over a decade. Their goal tallies and records are a result of their phenomenal displays on the football pitch – displays that no other player has come close to showing on a consistent basis
Throughout their careers, Ronaldo and Messi have broken a large number of records.
Now, let’s have a look at five records held by Messi that Ronaldo will find difficult to break anytime soon.

1. 50 goals in a single league season

Remember the season 2011-12? Messi was in a league of his own, hacking every defence he came up against to pieces. The Argentinian genius found the net an incredible 50 times with a goal ratio of 1.35 in 37 La Liga games that season. Ronaldo came close to breaking the record in season 2014-15 when he scored 48 goals in 35 games, landing the Pichichi award that year. The possibility of Ronaldo breaking surpassing this milestone is negligible this season, however, it will be interesting to see whether he can break the record in the upcoming years, which would be a great accomplishment given his age.

2. Winning four Ballons d’Or in a row

Messi mesmerized every football fan when he announced himself on the world stage before winning his first Ballon d’Or in 2009. However, little did anyone expect him to lift the precious award for the next three years as well. Having won the Ballon d’Or 4 times in succession from 2009 to 2012, Messi broke Michel Platini’s previous record of winning the accolade in three successive seasons (1983 to 1985).

3. Most assists in El Clasico

It’s an absolute treat for football fans to watch the El Clasico even if they don’t support any of the clubs that take part in it. One of the main reasons to watch the match is to see the greatest players of this generation lock horns.That Messi is the highest goal scorer in El Clasico history with 25 goals is a well-known fact. Cristiano isn’t far behind with 17 goals under his belt in the fixture and won’t be wrong to dream about beating the Argentinan for the highest goalscorer crown.
However, the one El Clasico record Ronaldo will probably never break is that of most assists made by a player in the fixture. Messi holds the record for the most assists (14) while Ronnie has assisted only once in this fixture. It is doubtful that the Real Madrid ace will ever get to break this record.

4. Scoring 60+ goals in all competitions in consecutive seasons

A crucial reason why Ronaldo and Messi are regarded as the greatest players ever to grace the game is down to their exceptional goalscoring abilities. Lionel Messi is the only player in history to have scored 60+ goals in two consecutive seasons. He netted 73 goals in season 2011-12 in 60 games, notching a tally of 60 goals in 50 games in the following season.
Like Messi, Ronaldo also has crossed the 60-goal barrier twice in his career, albeit not in successive seasons. He scored 60 goals in 55 games in season 2011-12 and 61 goals in 54 games in season 2014-15. Of course, he is well adept at crossing the 50-goal mark, having done it in six consecutive seasons. However, the idea of finding the net more than 60 times in back-to-back seasons now remains a challenge to the Real Madrid talisman, considering his age and the number of seasons left in his glorious career.

5. Most goals scored in a calendar year

2012 was Lionel Messi’s year through and through, with the Argentinian being at the height of his powers and etching his name on a bunch of records. However, the one milestone that stands out is that of the most goals scored in a calendar year. this record looks set to remain untouched by any player for ages to come, let alone Ronaldo. The Barca no.10 netted a mammoth tally of 91 goals in just 69 games in 2012, breaking German legend Gerd Mueller’s previous record of 85 goals set in 1972.

which one b highest assist in Madrid history? Lolx. It's understandable for a striker to have more assist than a midfielder, Suarez has had more assist than Messi since he started in Barca . Ronaldo is a great player same as Messi but he's more of just a goalscorer . Messi is more complete . But Ronaldo would b better in an average team .

I guess you never knew Cr7 has record assists because you lie to yourself everyday that he only know how to score goals, Google is Your friend, check highest assists in UCL, Real Madrid and Laliga history and you will see Cr7 topping them.

u don't get, yea he has the highest assist in UCL , up to 200 assist in league games but that doesn't mk him a creative player, think of it Suarez has had more assist than Messi since he became a fcb player , giving assists doesn't necessarily mean you are more creative , is Ronaldo more creative than xavi,Zidane,iniesta,modric ,Kross,Messi?

Not just the best passer and midfielder, but the best dribbler, ball controller, the best creative midfielder, and the best playmaker to ever play this game of football.

Anybody who says that a simple goal poacher like Cristiano Ronaldo (he's not even a pure striker) is better than the MOST complete footballer of all time doesn't know ANYTHING about football. Short and simple.

And by the way, now that they no longer playing for Cristiano Ronaldo, watch out and see how as Gareth Bale, Marco Ascencio and the other Real Madrid players are going to explode this year. It's Cristiano Ronaldo who's been holding them back. Selling Cristiano Ronaldo at this time is the best decision Real Madrid ever made.

You know very well that assists are the results of creativity, people just hate to acknowledge that Cr7 is creative, how else did Cr7 rack up 5 ballon d or do you think it's by scoring goals alone.

The only player in your list at par with Cr7 is Messi.

People should learn to respect others' choice and opinion, if its messi you like so be it, allow others like ronaldo without telling them your choice is the best.


respect peoples choice


do not call your own choice the greatest of all time, no one holds that title

sorry , I just checked the stats , yea Ronaldo has d second highest assist after Messi , Suarez in 5 seasons has more than xavi, iniesta,isco,modric,Kross. But ask yourself is Suarez more creative than those guys ? NO . . LOLX. MOST OF THE ASSISTS THIS STRIKERS GIVE ARE MOSTLY IN THE BOX , MOST OF EM ARE SIMPLE ASSISTS . I AM NO DISPUTING THE FACT THAT RONALDO HAS THE SECOND HIGHEST ASSISTS , BUT PLS DONT TRY TO OVERRATE HIM, HE TRIES HIS BEST , BUT RONALDO IS NOT THAT CREATIVE , HE WAS JUST AN OKAY CREATIVE PLAYER IN HIS MAN UTD DAYS , HES JUST A POACHER IN MADRID.

Ronaldo is a great player, but messi is head and shoulders above him. Reason you hardly see anyone comparing ronaldo with likes of pele, maradona.. messi on the other hand gets compared with these all time greats on a daily basis.

Simple assists ke, Nigga please, quit the double standard, So Messi's assists are not simple but Cr7 assists are? don't be funny men, there is no such thing as simple assists, all assists are born out of creativity, just say you prefer Messi to Cr7.

My point is you said Cr7 has never been compared to Pele and maradona but I proved you wrong with my source.

Talking about Messi, I also have a source that placed Cr7 ahead of Messi.
