#3 Dribbles per game
Both Messi and Ronaldo are well known for their abilities to get past their markers using exquisite skills and ball control. Both have their own trademark style of dribbles; while Ronaldo has a flashy, larger than life nature to his dribbles, Messi makes use of his extraordinary ball control to dribble past the last man.
Trending
Since he moved to the Serie A, Ronaldo is averaging 1.3 dribbles per game in the league. In the Champions League, the ratio is a tad lower, as the Portuguese is averaging just 0.6 dribbles per game. However, Ronaldo is known to have a strong finish to his season and as such, those statistics could improve further by the end of the season.
Lionel Messi has always been the king of dribbles and this season is no different. The Argentinean is averaging 3.9 dribbles per game in La Liga, while in the Champions League, he averages 1.5 dribbles per game. He has shown no signs of stopping so far and with the business end of the season almost upon us, Messi is bound to get better.
Advantage - Lionel Messi
