Nevertheless, with the onset of 2018, the Portuguese regained himself and scored 10 goals in 6 games in all tournaments, bringing the total number of goals scored in the season to 26. In turn, Messi has an asset on one goal more - on his account 27 accurate shots.

Despite the fact that the number of goals scored by both players is almost the same, Ronaldo scores more often. So the Portuguese needs an average of 97 minutes per goal, while Messi is different every 115 minutes.

On the eve of the match against Betis, Ronaldo repeated the bombardier achievement of the legendary ex-captain Real - Raul.
