Revealed: Statistically Leo Messi has completely dominated Cristiano Ronaldo on domestic level

Like always, stats show the big gap between Messi and Ronaldo that the media try to hide.

Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are regarded as the two best players in the world, but the league stats show that the Portuguese isn't at Messi's level.

Although their stats are comparable, people tend to forget one important detail — Ronaldo is two years older.

Let's check out the stats
