Following Ronaldo's goal vs West Ham, he has scored more club goals than Messi, but only just and it should be noted that the Man Utd star benefits from having played two more seasons than his Argentine nemesis thus far.
Each of them has remarkably netted over 670 club goals in their career so far, with the five seasons between 2009-10 and 2014-15 proving particularly golden as they pushed each other to greater heights.
While Ronaldo currently has more goals overall, Messi has the edge in the scoring department, with a higher season average (39.5 to 35), having hit a high of 73 goals in 2011-12.
Ronaldo's highest season return was 61, which he achieved in 2014-15 and he surpassed the 50-goal mark every season for six years between 2010-11 and 2015-16.
Interestingly, while Ronaldo's seasonal totals have declined somewhat in recent years - he failed to break the 30-goal mark in 2018-19 during his first season at Juventus - Messi's have remained consistent.

Messi is the greatest of all time and the greatest goal scorer of all time.Ronaldo has played 144 games more Messi in all his career yet he has managed to just score 35 goals more than Messi.That alone shows that Messi has the best scoring ratio and no one comes near to him.

When someone is not feeling good about Messi's form this season and is intimidated by Ronaldo's form, he looks for the easiest way to relieve himself... Add country stats too pls

If goals are your basis, why not check goal scoring ratio you’ll see Messi above all of em
so many excuses.. typical barca fan..just pray for your 'lamb' now to score the first goal in that farmers league..
