The annual soccer match in Qatar has started, and Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are facing off on the pitch to prove who is the best player in the world! No doubt this will be an entertaining game with plenty of flairs. So, who do you think will win? Let us know in the comments below!
Introduction
It's the most anticipated match of the FIFA World Cup 2018, Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi. The two footballing giants have met 14 times before, with Messi winning eight games and Ronaldo winning six. But who is going to take home the trophy this time around?
What they're saying
The two footballing giants have been going head-to-head for years, but it is not just their skills that they are competing over. The World Cup is coming up, which means a new round of competition between the two players. Cristiano Ronaldo is the current world champion, and he has many fans backing him. But there are others who are waiting to see if this time Lionel Messi can take the title from him. One thing that they do have in common is their love of soccer. They both play for top international teams, as well as take part in high-level tournaments like FIFA World Cups for their countries.
The players
The two soccer players, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi faced off against each other at the Al-Rayyan stadium in Qatar. They have been fierce rivals for years, but this time it was for a good cause as they played for their charity organizations: Real Madrid Foundation and UNICEF. The event was one of the most anticipated games of the season, with both players scoring a goal. In the end, Ronaldo won 3-2.
The teams
The game was a close contest that had players going at each other with fierce tackles. The Portugal team came out on top, but the victory was not without its controversy as Cristiano Ronaldo's handball proved to be pivotal.
The managers
The manager's most important task is to ensure that his team plays well together as a unit. It is up to him to choose the right balance of attacking flair, defensive stability, and physical power. He has two key weapons at his disposal: substitutions (changing players) and tactics (changing how his team plays).
The stats
In this head-to-head comparison, Cristiano Ronaldo comes out ahead by just one goal with a total of 91 goals to Messi's 92. But looking at another metric, the number of assists made by both players is much closer: Ronaldo has 66 assists to Messi's 59. This means that while Cristiano is an excellent scorer, he relies more heavily on his teammates to set him up. In contrast, Lionel scores a lot but also makes a high number of assists himself.
The verdict
The season has officially started with a bang as the two best players take each other on for the first time this season. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored his first goal of the season so far, but Lionel Messi is following suit. The question is: who will come out on top? Well, if you are looking for goals, it looks like Cristiano Ronaldo might be winning that battle with four goals to Leo's three. But if you are looking for assists, then that award goes to Leo with five assists to Cristiano's one. The game ended 4-3 in favor of Cristiano Ronaldo's team which shows us how much talent these two have. It was a great game to kick off the season and we hope they play again soon!
