‘" went through every La Liga result and subtracted the goals scored by Messi and Ronaldo, altering the resulting final score. So, for example, if it weren’t for the 4 goals Ronaldo scored against Elche in 5th round, the game would’ve ended 1-1. This way, Real would lose 2 points and Elche would gain 1.

‘Obviously, I’m not trying to prove who the best player is or anything like that. Basically, I did this avoid other, more important things that I should be doing."

Meh, I'm not a fan of these "what would the table look like without player X" statistics as they lead to the assumption that a team plays without one player, in other words.. with only 10 men. Like you said, Ronaldo's 4 goals against Elche helped Real to win, but if Ronaldo wasn't there, maybe his replacement would've scored (at least) one goal, which would have been enough to win against Elche, too.

Take on the assist and Barça would be 4th, Messi assisted many winner goals VS Valencia, VS Villareal...

Something is happening at Barça, Pistolero reached his peak, top of his physical form and better understanding with the team and game play, didnt though he will do it that fast.

Suarez : the faster forward to have adapted at Barcelona, less than 6 months.

4 goals in CL, a goal each 87 minutes since February in the league ( 5 goals ) and of course the first defender of the squad and the 9 role work of making space to his teammates, plus the assists and now the influence on the game play...

Better than Neymar at the moment, stats aside...

Good last game for Neymar, scored a brace from 2 Messi/Xavi gifts, but gifts aside look at 2min08, he made a look ang got the information they were 3 vs 2, this should have been a goal, Messi would have made the pass and Suarez too...

Now look at 4 min15, if he played fast it would have been 3 vs 2 again, than the way he slowed up the 3 vs 3 was still possible, he took it from himself and look at Suarez reaction.

2 times Suarez doing 60Meter sprint, 2 times denied the assist, he could stop running when Neymar got the ball and stop dragging defenders, but he is doing it for the team.

This is what i like from Suarez, and this is what Neymar should improve if its not intentional, imo it is...

Should be: WITHOUT their goals...

Assist and key passes from Messi is much more important than just goals.

No surprise, as

Ronaldo > Messi

Just looking at the goal difference seizes to impress me in how Ronaldo and Messi are, these 2 are phenomenal

Messi:

Apps: 25
Goals: 27
Assists: 13
Chances Created: 63

Ronaldo:

Apps: 22
Goals: 30
Assists: 10
Chances created: 41

Tuan, true that messi has made lots of chances but that aside Ronaldo's passing and vision is clearly underrated, plus take in note that any player playing in a team like barcelona or bayren where they play tiki taka he will get more assist and will create chances without even realizing it

Ronaldo obviously has more assists, most of his goals are assisted mate...
Messi at Madrid would be scoring hattricks all day, Ronaldo doesnt have to drag back and doesnt influence the build up that much...

Best rivalry ever...

@JuanMata10 says it perfectly
