#2 Passing
Passing the ball to a teammate is something that every player does. However, not many players can claim to have the ability to pass the ball efficiently as Lionel Messi does.
In fact, passing is just another area where the Argentine has beaten his Portuguese rival hands-down this season.
It is true that the Argentine has perfected the art of kicking the ball to his teammates with so much accuracy. This season, the playmaker has recorded 1556 passes in La Liga and 458 in the UEFA Champions League.
Ronaldo, on the other hand, has just 676 passes in La Liga and 287 in the Champions League.
If you move further, you will realize that the Barca genius has played more key passes than the Los Blancos winger.
He has 76 key passes to his name in the Spanish top flight and 15 in the Champions League. Whereas, CR7 has only managed 35 in the domestic league and 13 in Europe.
