Consider all the achievements that until this time did not submit to the best players of our time.
For a long time behind this pair any other scorer of the main tournament of the Old World. The fight for the title of the best Champions League goalkeeper is between the Argentinean and the Portuguese, and so far ahead of Ronaldo, who this week became the first player to score 100 goals in the Champions League for one club (note that while he is the only one who has exceeded the bar in 100 goals).
However, there are still a lot of scoring records, which still do not submit to the legendary couple ... Goals in the finals The best scorer of the finals of the League / Champions Cup: Alfredo Di Stefano, Ferenc Puskas (both Real Madrid) - 7 goals.
Goals in the most finals: Alfredo Di Stefano (Real Madrid) - 5 (1956-1960).
The greatest number of goals in one final: Ferenc Puskas (Real Madrid) - 4 (1960).
On account of Messi only two goals scored in the finals of the Champions League (2009 and 2011). Ronaldo has 4 goals, which he scored in three finals (2008, 2014, 2017 (2)).
Note that for Messi (3) and Ronaldo (5) there is still an unreachable mark in the 8 finals of the Champions League, which was established by Francisco Gento (Real) and Paolo Maldini (Milan).
Successes with different Victory teams with the greatest number of teams: Clarence Seedorf - 3 (Ajax-1995, Real-1998, Milan-2003,2007).
The number of teams scored in the Champions League: Zlatan Ibrahimovic - 6 (Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Barcelona, ??Milan, PSG).
Neither Messi nor Ronaldo, as they say, do not intend to change the club until the end of their career, and that is why they will hardly beat, or at least repeat Seedorf's record. But Ronaldo is still closer to this goal.
Ronaldo - the only football player in history, scoring for two clubs (MJ and Real Madrid) in the finals and winning them. Also Velib Vasovich, who scored in the finals for Partizan and Ajax, but both matches of his team lost.
The oldest goalscorer ... who scored in the final: Paolo Maldini - 36 years 333 days (Milan - Liverpool in 2005) ... scoring in the main part of the Champions League: Francesco Totti - 38 years 59 days (Roma - CSKA in 2014).
If Leo and Cristiano want to break these records, then they need to be very patient. Outperform Maldini Ronaldo will be able to only in the final of the Champions League in 2022, and Messi in the final of 2024, and then only if it takes place after May 23.
Become the oldest scorer in the history of Ronaldo will be able after April 1, 2023, Messi after August 22, 2025.
The fastest goals The fastest goal of the Champions League: Roy McKay - 10.12 seconds (Bayern vs. Real in 2007).
The fastest goal in the Champions League final: Paolo Maldini - 53 seconds (Milan - Liverpool in 2005).
Roy McKay has set such an indicator for the goal speed in the Champions League, which will be incredibly hard to beat.
The best performance of our heroes is the 4th minute from Ronaldo in the match against Juventus in October 2013, and the 3rd minute from Messi, who hit the Celtic gate in 2016.
In the final, Messi scored both goals already in the second half, and the earliest goal Ronaldo was scored in last year's final against the same Juventus in the 20th minute.
Hat-trick The fastest hat-trick: Bafetembi Gomis - 8 minutes (Dynamo Z - Lyon in 2011) Messi and Ronaldo share the record for the number of hat-tricks in the Champions League - 7 pieces, but none of them was so fast, as Bafetambi Gomis from Lyon.
The fastest of the hat-tricks Messi - his first. The Argentinean spent 22 minutes on him (against Arsenal in 2010). However, this is not the smallest difference between his three balls in one match. During the penta-trick in the Bayer WTA between 2 nd and 4 th goal was only 16 minutes.
Record Ronaldo - 12 minutes in a match against Malmo.
Season records with goals scored Seasonal goals in which he scored goals: Raul - 14 Seasons in which he scored goals: Ryan Giggs - 16 Cristiano Ronaldo failed to make it through Sporting to the group stage of the Champions League in his only attempt to do so. In the first two seasons in the Manchester United he did not score in the Champions League, but after that he scored goals in 12 seasons in a row.
Messi began to score immediately and now his record is 13 seasons in a row. Already this fall, he can catch up with Raoul, and Ryan Giggs in 2020.
Goals for one euroseason Top scorer for one European Cup season: Radamel Falcao - 18 (Porto in 2010/11) Falcao in the 2010/2011 season held an incredible Europa League with Porto. On his account, then there were 18 goals (1 in qualifying), which is still the best result in history.
For Ronaldo, the best was the 2013/14 season, when he managed to score 17 goals in the Champions League. Messi's best score is 14 goals in the 2011/12 season.
Goals in a row, average performance Matches in a row with goals scored: Ruud van Nistelrooy - 9 (MJ in season 2002/02).
Average performance per match in the Champions League: Gerd Muller (0.97) Average performance for the match in European competition: Gerd Muller (0.87) The record that Cristiano Ronaldo will be able to repeat in the second leg against PSG - 9 consecutive games with goals scored. Van Nistelrooy, setting his record, did not play in all matches in a row, but in those where he played, he surely scored. In addition, if you count his goal in the qualification of the Champions League, then this record is equal to 10 matches in a row.
But when it comes to the average performance in the Champions League, the pair Messi / Ronaldo is much inferior to the best in this indicator in history - Gerd Muller.
The German scored in the Champions League almost one ball per game. Ronaldo has 111 goals in 144 games (0.76 per game) in the Champions League and 113 in 151 games in all European competitions. Messi has some better indicators - 97 in 118 games of Champions League (0.82) and 100 in 122 games in all European competitions.
