All this makes the panorama of Cristiano Ronaldo looking to become two-time champion of Italy, because although there are still a large number of points to be played, the teams that are in the first three places are designed to compete for the entire year, with the main motivation to achieve a historic title.
Thousands of hundreds of kilometers away, at the José Zorrilla stadium, in Valladolid, Spain, Barcelona obtained the three points approaching the top of the table in La Liga after beating the team by the same score, three by the way Real Valladolid.
The annotations were in charge of Clément Lenglet at minute 21, with a deadly header and a great center from the Messi; the second was conceded by Danish forward Martin Braithwaite, after a great filtered pass from the Argentine star and a subsequent assist from the American Sergiño Dest.
The third goal of Barcelona came from the booties of Lionel Andrés Messi Cuccittini, who took advantage of a heads-up to kill the rival goalkeeper and thus become the player with the most scores with the same team with 644 goals, surpassing the 643 achieved by Edson Arantes do Nascimento “Pelé” at Santos in Brazil.
This meant, albeit indirectly, another setback for the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, who despite being the momentary scoring leader in Serie A with 12 goals, by 11 of his closest competitor Romelu Lukaku, failed to get The Best award and will close the year with a bitter taste as a footballer with a desire to win it all.
Another important section to consider are the goals that CR7 scored by penal means, because of the 12 achieved in the current football year, 33 percent came from eleven steps, that is, 4.
Still the rivalry Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi It will continue for at least a few more years, since the first mentioned has stated before that his intention is to play at least until the age of 40, with the intention of reaching a thousand goals and breaking another record for his list.
On the part of the top scoring team of the Argentine National Team, the future is uncertain, although he recently declared that he is excited about the current season in Barcelona. We cannot forget that the rumors about a possible signing with PSG or Manchester City are still valid and increasingly strong due to the terrible economic moment that the culé club is going through.
