The eternal comparison between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo seems to have no end. Many soccer fans choose the 38-year-old Argentine captain as the GOAT of the sport, while others lean toward the 40-year-old Portuguese player.
The only thing that is certain is that both legends continue to demonstrate their talent on the field to this day. However, a curious statistic shows a difference in performance between the two.

Who performs better when playing away?
The answer to this question could be the key to shifting the focus away from the number of titles, goals, and performances of each player and onto another aspect of their game.
Playing away is a challenge, and Leo and Cristiano know this well. With more than 800 away games, the statistics favor the Portuguese player.
The truth is that in 950 away games, Ronaldo has scored 385 goals. On the other hand, Lionel has scored 331 goals in 891 away games. This means 3.38 percentage points in favor of CR7.
In addition, while the current Al Nassr star averages 40.53%, the Inter Miami idol averages 37.15%.
Furthermore, CR7 currently has 953 total goals, 59 more than Leo (894), and is on his way to 1,000.
On the other hand, Messi surpassed his historic rival as the player with the most goals without penalties with 782 (the Portuguese has 773 and 163 more games than the Argentine) and reached a total of 400 assists against Nashville SC on the night of Saturday, November 8. (Ronaldo has 266 total assists)
Beyond the comparison, the data does not crown an absolute winner, as the truth is that both achieved unusual consistency in difficult scenarios such as away games.
