Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are two of the most well-known football players in history.

The competitive duo have won a number of club trophies as well as individual awards.

In fact, they are widely regarded as some of the world's best footballers.

However, the two elite players are currently suffering from what many consider as their worst season in over a decade.

While Cristiano Ronaldo enjoyed a fine start to his second spell at Manchester United, Lionel Messi had a slow start as he battled with injuries at Paris Saint-German.

Summarily, Ronaldo has recorded 14 goals and provided 3 assists in 26 games across all competitions this season which amounts to an average of 0.65 goals or assists per game at United.

On the other hand, Messi has recorded 7 goals and 7 assists in 19 games across all competitions for PSG which amounts to 0.74 goals or assist per game.
