Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are racing to beat each other to be the top goalscorer of 2018. FC Barcelona’s D10S, Messi, has 47 goals in the calendar year, three more than Juventus’ CR7. However the Argentine has only one more match left to play, while Ronaldo has three with Juve.
Both players have won five Ballon d’Ors, but in the Golden Shoe races Messi is ahead by one, five to four, receiving the fifth this week.
Messi has hit 47 goals for club and country in 2018 and faces Celta Vigo with Barcelona on Saturday. That is his last opportunity to add to his tally.
Ronaldo has 44 for Madrid, Juve and Portugal, but faces Roma on Dec 22, Atalanta on Dec 26 and Sampdoria on Dec 29.
The duo have few rivals. Robert Lewandowski of Bayern Munich has 42 goals but only one game left, against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.
Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann has 38 and one game against Espanyol remaining.
Harry Kane has 37 with three Spurs matches to go. He beat Messi last year with 56 goals, two more than the Argentine.

AF: The final battle between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2018 Me: this battle will never end till one of them retire and we compare them to each other because the stats they put up every season is insane and they need each other so they could push each other to the limit and both Messi and Ronaldo have said that its good to have someone who can motivate you to keep on going and this 2 greats are different player and you can choose who you want as the best player of this Generation cuz Numbers dont Lie and the battle of the 2 greats most continue and CR7 did an interview recently and he said he is not afraid of the competition nor he is afraid of Lionel Messi and he wish he could also come to Seria A and with a statement like that you know this aint over so Lets just sit back and enjoy Football ⚽️ 💪🏾🔥🔥

don't forget one match is not small for a player like Messi. because he can score more than 3 goals in a single match.
