Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi: Stats Comparison in 2024

Both superstars ended the year with impressive numbers to their names

Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi finished the year 2024 on a losing note with Messi’s MLS season ending in an elimination during the MLS Cup against Atalanta United.

While Ronaldo’s side suffered a 2-1 defeat in their year’s last game and now the Portuguese will only be back in action next month, hence he will now enjoy his vacations.

However, Messi did manage to wrap up the MLS season with a trophy after he led them to the MLS Supporters Shield but the only trophy that has eluded the former Barcelona player has been the MLS Cup.

Despite boasting a quality side Inter Miami failed to beat Atlanta United in the three Series game. Meanwhile, for the national team, he had a brilliant season. He led them to another Copa America trophy when his side beat Colombia 1-0 to claim the silverware.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo’s side suffered a heartbreaking defeat against France on penalties and were sent home from the Euro 2024. Compared to Messi, the 39-year-old had a not-so-decent year as he failed to make a bigger impact.

However, he will end the year with more goals when we make both players comparisons on statistics. Ronaldo continued his goalscoring form remaining the key player for Al-Nassr and Portugal as well.

He also achieved a significant record as he netted 900 career goals this year and has been scoring goals left and right for both club and national team. On the other hand, Messi has also been in fine form, finishing the MLS season with decent stats despite being injured. He also won the MLS MVP of the season.
