La Liga best player
LFP introduced the La Liga awards in 2008. Every year since then, awards are presented to the best player, best goalkeeper, best forward, best midfielder, best defender and the best coach in the league.
The first recipient of the best player award was the Argentine Lionel Messi. He also claimed the best forward award for his breakthrough season.
But here we’re going to emphasize the time span after 2009, since Ronaldo started playing for Real Madrid only then. The Barcelona man has won the best player award on five occasions since 2009, whereas Ronaldo has just one to his name.
The same story is noticed in the best forward race as well with Messi scooping up six awards while the Portuguese Ronaldo claiming it just once.
Messi 5-2 Ronaldo
Pichichi trophy
The famous Pichichi trophy is awarded to the player with most goals in a single La Liga season. Over the years many great players have won famous trophy awarded by Marca.
The Barcelona number 10 edges out his Real Madrid rival here as well with five to his name against Ronaldo's three.
The Real Madrid number 7 might have fared better in Europe, but domestically Messi was the better scorer in most of the seasons.
Messi 6-2 Ronaldo
