As you know my blog is about Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. This is the latest information on the two and the competition between them
Over the past two years, these two superstars have only met three times. Over the past three games, Real Madrid, were defeated all three times by the skillful FC Barcelona. In one Cristiano’s first match with his new club, Real Madrid only lost by one goal, with a final score of one to nothing. In this match Ronaldo clearly outplayed the new young superstar, but it was not good enough.
In the second meeting between these two masterful players, Madrid lost yet again. This match they lost by two goals. This match happened later on in the season, when Lionel Messi was at his prime, but still was outplayed but Ronaldo.
The last match that these two athletes met was November 29, 2010. The pattern continued from the past few games, and Madrid fell to Barcelona one more time. The scoring pattern continued as well. From the 1-0 score, to the 2-0 score, to a 5-0 score, Madrid seemed to be unable to hold on as Messi stayed in his prime and outplayed Ronaldo.
The two players have more matches to come during the season. An upcoming game in April will determine who is truly the better of the two in the regular season, and then will restart in the post-season.
This next quote is from: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/feature?id=846285&sec=europe&cc=5901, where they talk about the Messi/Ronaldo rivalry.
“The game’s best rivalry”
"Five times over the past two years they have gone head-to-head on a pitch. Even if you favor Ronaldo, you can't ignore the results. Against United and Madrid, Messi has won three, drawn and lost once. Ronaldo hasn't scored against Messi's Barcelona -- even missing a penalty -- while Messi has two goals in those mano-a-mano clashes"
