Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo, two stars at the center of controversy in the world of football. Both are great in their respective clubs and teams. But who is the best of the two, the debate never ends.
Ronaldo is the best footballer of all time for Ronaldo fans. On the other hand, Messi is the best footballer of all time for Messi fans. This controversy has once again come to the fore with Rolando’s two hat-tricks in a span of three days.
Last Saturday, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick against Al Tai in the Saudi Pro League. Three days after that, Ronaldo’s second hat-trick against Abha on Tuesday night.
After these two hat-tricks of Ronaldo, many have compared the Portuguese star with Messi with the number of hat-tricks. That is, who has more hat tricks, Ronaldo or Messi?
Considering the number of hat-tricks, the victory will be Ronaldo’s. Ronaldo has scored 65 hat-tricks in his football career so far. And Messi’s hat trick is 57. As such, Ronaldo has 8 more hat tricks than Messi.
Both are at the end of their careers. But it will not be so easy for Messi to make the remaining 8 hat-tricks. Because, the Argentine World Cup winning star is not getting many goals on the field. The last hat-trick was scored by Inter Miami star Messi in March 2023. After that, the 8-time Ballon d’Or star is passing a year without a hat-trick.
Ronaldo scored 29 goals in the Saudi Pro League this season. The Portuguese star has scored 42 goals for Al Nasr in all competitions.
On the other hand, Messi has started this year quite well. So far the magical foot has scored 5 goals. However, Messi is currently out of the field with a hamstring injury. That’s why he missed Argentina’s two friendlies against El Salvador and Costa Rica.
