Perhaps the best footballers of all time, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are two of the best players ever. The media and fans have primarily contributed to the history's greatest sporting rivalry in football by focusing on how comparable the rivals are, as well as their comparable accomplishments on the field. We'll find out who has the best lifetime stat in this analysis, and we'll use that stat to judge who's better.
Who has the most assists?
When it comes to assists, Lionel Messi is the clear champion. Messi has 354 assists in 1018 career appearances, compared to Ronaldo's 236 assists in 1157 games. Having said that, you can't overlook Messi's overall assist figures - he easily wins this category. WINNER MESSI.
Who can pass the ball the best?
Lionel Messi is the undisputed champion in this area according to the passing statistics. But once more, Ronaldo's passing skills are frequently underrated.
Ronaldo's passing statistics are amazing even if Messi's are unquestionably superior. However, his passing statistics would have certainly been much better before to 2009, when he was more actively involved in the brilliant build-up play. WINNER MESSI.

What sparked this rivalry was their extraordinary, unmatched goalscoring statistics, with Messi and Ronaldo each averaging more than one goal per game at their prime.

Ronaldo still has more career goals than Messi (Ronaldo has 832 career goals to Messi's 803 career goals), but Ronaldo has played 139 more games in his career. If we account for these different starting points, the percentages become much more similar.
Of all the categories, goal scoring is the most difficult to distinguish. This is a tie. WINNER: DRAW.
