Currently, both players are the best in the world right now and therefore, the comparison between both players seems to increase each passing day.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored three goals in 14 minutes against Celta Vigo Saturday with a brilliant rocket goal from way outside the box, an amazing free kick and a tap in. In the process, he passed Lionel Messi for the most hat tricks in La Liga history with 36, while scoring goals No. 250 in La Liga and No. 350 overall for Real Madrid.
Messi had just tied Ronaldo’s previous hat trick record of 35 on Thursday. The first on 50 minutes, gaining possession in the final third, he turned and rifiled home with superb skill.
