Ernesto Valverde decided to rest Messi against Villarreal and almost lost the match. Messi who came in to inspire the change in the fate of the match has been and will remain an amazing player.
Messis wonderful free kick which was wonderfully taken ended as a goal to get Barcelona back into the match. That goal gave Messi his 414 LaLiga goals. This equals Ronaldos record as the highest goals scored in the top 5 leagues.
Christiano who has not failed to impress also has same number of goals currently. The 34-year-old has scored 84 goals in the Premier League, 311 in La Liga and 19 in Serie A.
One will always argue about who is better between Ronaldo and Messi. They are both great players with good and bad side, with strengths and weaknesses. These players have learnt to make the best of their strength and learn from their weaknesss and limitations.
