Fans around the world continue to debate the merits of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Their rivalry was at its height when the two stars were fighting La Liga.
Ronaldo has since left for Juventus, but he showed no signs of slowing down as he took the lead in Serie A scorers with 18 goals in 23 games.
Messi is also the top scorer in Spain with 21 goals in as many games this season.
Both men have each won the Ballon d'Or five times. Former Ronaldo teammate Luka Modric broke his 10-year duopoly for the prize in 2018.
Ronaldo will be in action for Juventus when she hosts Frosinone in Serie A tonight.
Messi, meanwhile, seems to have escaped any worry about injuries before the Barcelona match against Real Valladolid tomorrow.
Their incredible form and influence over their clubs over the years suggests that there is not much that separates the players.
But the statistics presented by Who scored suggest that this is not the case.
The website has evaluated the form of Ronaldo and Messi every year since the 2009/10 season – the first Portuguese as a Real Madrid player.
The Barcelona striker outshot his rival in the current campaign with a score of 8.5 to 7.8.
But it turns out that Argentina has also been better than Ronaldo in nine of the last ten seasons.
