Something incredible has just happened with Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo

Whenever you think about the best players in the world, it’s Lionel Messi’s and Cristiano Ronaldo’s name that immediately crosses your mind.

However, this season it has been Lionel Messi on the headlines as he’s delivering impressive performances on weekly bases.

But in terms of Ballon d’Ors, Cristiano Ronaldo is the heavy favorite to level with the Argentine at five won during their careers.

The Real Madrid superstar enjoyed a brilliant year at Santiago Bernabeu, winning La Liga, Champions League and was named FIFA Best Player.

And now a mad statistic has emerged about the two on social media.

A webpage www.messironaldo.net has published a stat that shows Messi and Ronaldo have the exact same number of goals and assists combined across their careers – 812.

But the Argentine has achieved the tally in 150 games less that the Portugese rival, but it’s highly likely that this stat won’t ever happen again.
