3) His incredible scoring record
Cristiano Ronaldo might be the king of goalscoring at the moment but Messi is not too far behind in that category. Messi managed 26 goals in La Liga alone last season and scored 41 in 49 appearances across all competitions
Ronaldo on the other hand, managed 51 in 48 appearances but their records are not too dissimilar. Considering Messi also missed two months of action last season due to injury he could have even scored more than his Real Madrid counterpart.

But Messi’s game last season was not just about goals as he created several chances for his teammates as well. The Barcelona trident of Messi Suarez and Neymar managed to net 131 goals altogether.
Messi was responsible for assisting 26 of Barcelona's goals last season in all competitions so in total 67 goals were a resultant of him directly. Ronaldo was directly involved in 66 goals in all competitions, which makes this comparison reasonable.
This season Messi has kept up his incredible scoring record with 8 goals so far in La Liga. In all, he has 16 goals and 8 assists so far for the campaign.
