40 goals in successive seasons in a few weeks > 30 goals in 3 seasons tbf.
But then again, Messi will probably match Ronaldos 40 streak, but just a year behind. So it'll be another null one for Ronaldo.

19 oppositions I am guessing...
Wouldn't know, there are no 19-team leagues as far as I know.
Sorry my bad, I meant 20.
Seven from holding the joint record I thought, eight to overtake Rodríguez.
thats right
In a 38 game season, 31 goals is the record in the Premier League. In La Liga, Ronaldo got 41 goals last season from 34 games -- so he missed four games. Think that's the record.
Ronaldos 40/41 then....unless you counting obscure leagues....Jardel played in a 18 team league when he did 42, no ones done 40 in Dutch/Scottish in modern times. And 30 was considered ridiculous anywhere else until Ronnie did that, and Messi will do this year with Ronnie again.
Eusebio did 43 once, Muller 40, not sure if they were 20 team leagues though, and the official highest European Golden Shoe highest although in some random League, Romanian, is 47...

Yep...Now stands at 5 to match César with 235
at 24 ... do you know how long it took cesar to score all those goals?
Ronaldo is still ahead on the Pichichi stakes, with ten penos, mind. Messi would be 5 ahead taking chalking those off.
Messi wouldn't be behind if he didn't keep missing penalties.
Fair enough, they all count. It is just the ongoing debate between Real and Barca fans, worth pointing out.
He is going to smash that record, and Altafini's, and Raúl's, no doubt.

I think he missed only one in the league.. No?
Great article on him from - shock!, horror! - The Daily Mail.

Collins is a good hack.

Hold on to what you can Cal?
13 seasons - most he ever scored in a season was 29 goals...He started at 22 years of age and left the club at 35 years of age...Imagine if Leo were around that long
Terrific share, bsc...Thanks...I found that it really captured my sentiments as well...However, he got his height wrong as he's closer to 5'7" (1.69m)
Marcos has become quite the Messi fan. I don't remember him being a big one before. Is that the general trend in Argentina, Marcos? I think you were quite skeptical of him a couple of years back and reflected a similar mood as being prevalent in Argentina of wanting him to do it for the national side before he getsthat sort of acclaim.
Lebo has to be the slickest maker of football vids online atm...This was just released
well, i cant ignore the facts and what i see every time messi plays football, even the last world cup showed me how good he is and despite not scoring a single goal, was, imo one of the best players of that tournament
He was actually quite good. Not sure which game it was that Higuaín got a hat-trick, shades of the Maradona-Caniggia tandem there: Higuaín scored at will because every single fecker in defence had been dragged away trying to deal with Messi.
The problem for Argentina was... everything else.
yes, the game was against south korea, as you can imagine the whole caf was rooting for them because of park, and heinze and tevez and mascherano and di maria
Must admit he's best player I've ever seen And hate him because of that, perfect little fecker, since I've always rated Ronaldo as the best I've seen in my lifetime, but can't ignore everything this pocket size monster does everytime he's on the pitch.

The way he draws those four nutters for the 4th goal in particular

Messi, today:
"Guardiola is more important for Barça than I am, no doubt. He changed everything, he's crucial for this team."

No words for Leo..the outstanding player of his generation
One more thing Ronaldo can learn from Messi... Never seen a player so good, yet so humble before..
I think there's room for both types of player, it's great to see players like Messi and Scholes that are humble but on the other hand cocky, arrogant players like Ronaldo and Cantona are great entertainment as well.
Just what has he ever said about any of his managers that suggests "he who must not be named in this thread" is arrogant?
I can only remember him saying very complimentary things about Sir Alex, Mourinho & Scolari...
Cal?, are you saying that Ron is not arrogant? C'mon buddy and it's not really a criticism. He's bloody well good enough to be that arrogant.
It's just not a trait which your opponents will admire much, that's all.

Eh? Why would he have to say something bad about his managers to be considered arrogant? Ronaldo is blatantly arrogant as feck, and I like him all the better for it.

I don't deny it, in fact I like him more for his arrogance, just found it strange that the likes of Danny need to take digs at him after every little thing Messi does.
His arrogance makes him a much better player.I don't mind arrogance in a player as long as he performs thanks to it
