What the Stats Reveal about Messi vs Ronaldo

It’s one of the longest-running debates of futbol – who is the greatest, Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo?

Many fans will give you their passionate opinion, but what do the stats reveal?

Goals and Assists

You don’t win games without goal, therefore and it’s Ronaldo that leads with 529 to 507 in all time club stats, but assisting a goal is just as important and this is where Messi pulls it back with 194 to 172.

Ronaldo also leads with Hat Tricks, 38 to 36, but both men draw when it comes to the most goals in one game – 5 each.

Club and Individual Honors

The greatest of all time is a pretty big title, but how do their other honors match-up? Team honors put Messi ahead by 21 to Ronaldo’s 15, and he also holds more personal awards with 15 to 13.

Global Fans

Both icons are known by football and non-fans all around the world, but data suggests it is Ronaldo who is the most popular as a percentage – 92% to 87%. Though one could argue Ronaldo’s lifestyle is more ‘celebrity’ than Messi’s.

Ronaldo also dominates social media with a growing total of 284.5 million fans/followers, compared to Messi’s 167.5 million.

Wealth

Does wealth make you great? Perhaps not on the pitch, but it might be an indicator or intellect. Ronaldo’s net worth is currently $450 million, compared to Messi’s $340 million.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
