Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have always been exalted in the last dozen years. The praise emerged because Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were consistently at the top level in that period, from 2007 to the present.
During this period, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi won the top scorer status several times. Cristiano Ronaldo was recorded as the top scorer of the Champions League seven times. While Lionel Messi also became the top scorer seven times, to be precise in the Spanish League.
It did not stop there, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi took turns winning the Ballon d’Or trophy. La Pulga – nicknamed Lionel Messi – won six Ballon d’Or trophies, while Cristiano Ronaldo was one title lower.
However, speaking of the quality of breaking into the opponent’s goal and scoring assists, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are not too special at this time. Lionel Messi this season has only collected four goals and four assists from nine matches.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo, packed five goals and one assist from four matches. The records of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are far behind Tottenham Hotspur bomber, Harry Kane.
Harry Kane, who is the captain of the England National Team, has performed extraordinarily with The Lilywhites – nicknamed Tottenham – this season. From 13 matches in all competitions, Harry Kane has collected 12 goals and 10 assists.
At first glance, Harry Kane’s collection of 12 goals from 13 matches does not come as a surprise. Because, the 27-year-old striker is indeed familiar with the opponent’s goal.
Evidently, Harry Kane has come out as the top scorer of the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 Premier League. However, it is a bit surprising to see the number of assists Harry Kane has touched double digits, when the competition has not reached a quarter of the way.
When Tottenham won 5-1 over Southampton in the second week of the 2020-2021 Premier League, Harry Kane scored four assists at once! Uniquely, all of the assists above were presented by Kane to Son Heung-min.
