It is equal between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi at the top of the goal scorers’ chart in La Liga. Which player will end up winning the Pichichi?
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have redefined the duties of a striker although none of them is a typical number 9. Ronaldo, with the jersey number 7, is a winger. Messi, Barcelona’s number 10, was converted by Pep Guardiola from a winger to an attacking midfielder or to a second striker.
At Real Madrid, CR7 is surrounded by pure strikers like Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain. At Barca, La Pulga has team mates like Pedro Rodriguez and Alexis Sanchez.
However, when Messi and Ronaldo are on the pitch, their team mates know what to do. Give them the ball, they can work wonders with it in front of goal. Between them, they have netted as many as 122 goals… and the 2011/12 football season is not over yet!
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi each possess an army of jealous fans. There are pro-Ronaldo, pro-Messi, anti-Ronaldo and anti-Messi fans. While fervent supporters keep fighting over the differences between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, one wise neutral fan would just sit back, relax and celebrate the existence of the two superstar forwards.
The little man from Argentina and the widely considered handsome fella from Portugal are neck and neck in La Liga. They have blown away the average standard of a striker’s goal capacity per season.
In other circumstances, Atletico Madrid’s Radamel Falcao would have been the man of the moment with his 23 goals ahead of Matchday 36. However, the Colombian goal poacher is only third in the rankings, 20 goals behind the joint leaders! Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are each on 43 goals.
While the race for La Liga crown is virtually over, the battle for the Pichichi offers a reason for football fans to follow the last 3 round of fixtures closely. The exciting race for the league’s topscorer award has put the world’s best two players, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, on the same platform ahead of Matchday 36.
Athletic Bilbao, Real Mallorca and Granada should fear the fury of Real Madrid’s Portuguese rocket. Likewise, Malaga, Espanyol and Real Betis must prepare to face La Pulga’s sharp pair of legs.
“We have to do everything we can so that Leo finishes the season as top goal scorer,” Sergio Busquets revealed on Sunday after Messi equalled Ronaldo’s 43-goal tally.
In Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo faces an immense fight to defend his Pichichi title. Former Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster certainly had a point when he said that “the only bad thing in Cristiano Ronaldo’s life is Lionel Messi”…
