This season, Ronaldo has struggled with a lack of productivity. The Portuguese winger stated his desire to leave Manchester United during the summer transfer window of 2022, but he was forced to stay and finish his contract with the club. Remember that the Striker scored over 20 goals in all competitions for Manchester United last season, while Lionel Messi struggled to adjust to the Ligue-1. However, things appear to be turning around this season, as Messi is currently in his best form, whereas Ronaldo has continued to struggle and seek goals. Consider Messi and Ronaldo's 2022/23 statistics for both country and club.In the 2022/23 season, Lionel Messi has 16 goals and 14 assists in 20 games for both Paris Saint-Germain and Argentina. Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, has three goals and three assists in 18 games for Portugal and Manchester United. This means that Messi currently has 24 more goals than Ronaldo in the 2022/23 season for both club and country.
Argentina, Messi's national team, is unbeaten in their last 35 international games. The Argentine forward's team currently leads Ligue-1, while Ronaldo's team is currently outside the top four in the 2022/23 Premier League season. Messi, on the other hand, is currently among the top four goal scorers in Europe's top five leagues this season.
