#1 Messi has a higher personal league season best
It has long since been established that both men are among the greatest goalscorers of all time, winning numerous Golden Boots awards, while they each are also the current top scorers in their respective leagues.
Both men undoubtedly reached the peak of their scoring prowess while in direct competition with one another in LaLiga, and both men were the first two players in history to break the 40-goal mark in LaLiga's history.
While Ronaldo was the first of the pair to break that mark in the 2010/2011 season, scoring 40 goals to win the first of his three LaLiga Golden Boots, Lionel Messi went on better a season later to bang in 50 goals which remains the most goals in a single season in LaLiga history.
Cristiano Ronaldo's personal league best sees him fall just two goals short as he scored 48 goals in the 2014/2015 season, which was enough to see him win the Golden Boot in both Spain and Europe.
