Messi is Better Than CR7

The debate over who is better still happens in the footballing circles and among fans. Now a stat shows Messi is way ahead of Ronaldo. With an insane-tap goal by Messi against Seattle Sounders, he now has 880 goals in 1122 matches, whereas Ronaldo scored his 880th goal in his 1214th match - which is 92 more matches than the Argentine. This stat gives a proper perspective as to who is a more prolific scorer in football. 

Messi, CR7 to Visit India

Both the football legends are expected to visit India, while it is almost certain Messi will visit the country in December - there is a high-possibility that Ronaldo too comes to India for the ACL 2 as part of the Al Nassr side. It would be a moment to cheer for football fans in India as the two stars enjoy a huge fanbase in the country. The two are currently playing for their respective clubs.
