On Saturday against Sampdoria, Cristiano Ronaldo will play his last game of 2018 with a triple challenge in mind.
The first, is to contribute to another victory for his team, the second is to reach the figure of 50 goals in the calendar year for the eighth time in his career, and the third is the most difficult; match the 51 that Leo Messi has already achieved this year, for which he would need to score a poker.
It's a huge challenge, considering that in Italy the most he has achieved in the same match has been a brace.
The Argentine has surpassed the figure of 50 goals on eight occasions between the years 2010 and 2018.
He was marginally out in 2013 when he 'only' scored 45 goals in 47 games.
Since 2011, Ronaldo has always scored more than 50 goals in a calendar year, and his best stats came in 2013 when he managed an astonishing 69.
So far in 2018, Ronaldo scored 28 with Real Madrid, six with Portugal (four of them in the World Cup) and 13 for Juventus, making a total of 47.
It remains to be seen if Allegri decides to put him in the starting lineup or instead opts to give him some rest, as happened in the last League match against Atalanta.
The Portuguese came on in the second half and played for 27 minutes, enough time to get the goal to secure a draw for Juventus.
Against Sampdoria, the striker will be able to end 12 intense months in which many things have happened on a personal level.
He won another Champions League with Real Madrid, was the Pichichi in the competition, played the World Cup in Russia, although with less success than expected, and put an end to his brilliant stage at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu to continue his career in Turin.

Ronaldo does not need 4 goals to prove that he is a much better footballer than Messi. No Matter how many goals Messi Scores , he can never compete with Ronaldo. Messi has had a hard time winning anything but La Liga since Xavi, Iniesta, David left Barca. A good players is someone who can play with any team in the world and make them look good, which we will never know about Messi plus the Argentina situation. Messi deep down knows that he will not be successful with any other club no matter any club he goes to because his individual talent do less to actually make his team win any major trophy except Barca. Messi is Barcelona’s best player but Ronaldo is Worlds Best. Thats the difference.

cristiano has played far more less games than Messi so I will just leave at that you can't expect a man to play 26 games in league and match the goals of a man who played the 38 of 2018 season what a dumbass theory and I bet they have included Copa del Rey goals in it too which cr7 never even play from last 2 seasons so don't compare just enjoy because if you take stats he is far ahead

Messi scored most of his goals against farmers Ronaldo against giants check the stats, that's why even with the golden boot messi was rated fifth. So big ups to Ronaldo scored in 11 consecutive UCL matches and a hart trick in the world cup to add more he even switched clubs. Bt all in all both are grt players though messi some kind of lost some powers after neymar left.

Indeed Ronaldo doesn’t have to prove anything he’s the world best simple real fans understand how difficult serie A and he’s doing it like he did in Madrid and Manchester United he’s an inspiration to a lot of us he’s talented plus he’s hard working what a human being he is,Italians play a defending game so a player managing to score all those goals it’s crazy Ronaldo he’s simply the best,many people know that he’s the best but they just can’t admit it and they don’t like him coz of other things like they would say altitude but when you are good you are good your behavior or anything doesn’t matter and yes he will help his team today Allegri knows exactly how risk it is to leave him on the bench
