Ronaldo reached 600 goals, but Messi is closing the gap. |
In 801 official matches for Sporting Lisbon, Man Utd, Real Madrid and Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo has 600 goals and 190 assists. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi has also had 598 goals and 231 assists in 682 matches for Barcelona. The Argentine superstar also scored in the 1-0 win over Levante in La Liga on April 27.
The race to the 600-goal mark between Ronaldo and Messi was talked about by fans before this season. At that time, the Juventus striker had 574 goals, while Messi was 20 goals behind. But the gap was reduced by the 31-year-old player to 597-599 before this weekend's matches. With his current form, Messi is expected to surpass Ronaldo - the 34-year-old player.
The gap between Messi and Ronaldo in terms of goals for club and country has also gradually narrowed. CR7 has 685 goals and 218 assists in 957 matches, while M10 has 663 goals and 271 assists in 811 matches.
Van Dijk wins PFA Player of the Year award
Virgil van Dijk beat a host of candidates such as Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero, Bernardo Silva, Sadio Mane and Eden Hazard to win the PFA Player of the Year award. This award is considered completely worthy of Van Dijk.
This season, Van Dijk has helped Liverpool concede only 20 goals after 36 rounds. In addition, Van Dijk has also contributed 3 goals and 2 assists in the tournament. Van Dijk and a solid defense are the fulcrum for Liverpool to compete closely for the Premier League title with Man City.
Meanwhile, the Young Player of the Year award went to Sterling.
Man City could buy Maguire for a record price
Virgil van Dijk may no longer be the world's most expensive defender after this summer's transfer window. Both Man City and Man United are determined to secure the services of England centre-back Harry Maguire, while Leicester insist on collecting £90m before selling.
Maguire is a 26-year-old player who is considered the best centre-back in English football. Leicester only spent 17 million pounds to buy Maguire two years ago, but the player's price has skyrocketed after a successful World Cup, especially after many impressive performances in the Premier League.
Maguire also has all the qualities to be considered a “Pep-style centre-back”. He is comfortable in possession of the ball, and possesses a variety of passing skills.
But to get Maguire, Man City will definitely have to set a new transfer record. Leicester has no need to sell the title to make money, Man City understands this very well in the case of Riyad Mahrez when pursuing for more than a year, causing Mahrez to put pressure in all ways, but in the end only got him after breaking the club's transfer record.
