When comparing Messi's PSG record to Ronaldo's at Manchester United in 2021-22 Seasons.
All Lionel Messi as well as Cristiano Ronaldo are approaching the end of their careers, however the two who already have best rode an era aren't slowing down just yet.
Both Messi and Ronaldo changed teams last summer; while Messi left Barcelona in tears to join PSG, Ronaldo made a thrilling return to Manchester United upon 3 years in Serie A with Juventus.
It could be argued that things haven't gone as planned for either one of them. While Messi has yet to shine in Ligue 1, Ronaldo has been a key figure in Manchester United's miserable season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as well as Ralf Rangnick.
Nonetheless, all these players have managed to produce moments of brilliance to remind football fans of their abilities, but then again neither has been a complete failure at their current club – but who has been superior?
We run the numbers to determine which one of Messi and Ronaldo will have an improved 2021-22 season, alike domestic market as well as in the Champions League.
