Messi and Ronaldo both scored at the weekend, so Ronaldo keeps his one goal lead after their 24th league games of the season. Messi is showing he gets a bigger percentage of his team goals and needs less shots at goal to get them. This week I have added Van Persie from Arsenal for sake of comparison with the World's top two. Although not having scored as many goals, he has the highest percentage of team goals and also a better shot to goal ratio than Ronaldo.
What was most impressive at the weekend was Ronaldo's finish, a cheeky backheel as he ran away from goal. This gave Real Madrid a 1-0 over Rayo Vallecano and kept them 10 points clear of rivals Barcelona. Messi scored in a 2-1 victory, also showing a degree of genius. He took a quick free kick which arrowed to the top corner and the Atletico goalkeeper could only watch it sail past. Messi could have had two but he was pulled back and yellow carded for a hand ball on a typical jinky run..Maradona wouldn't have got caught!
