Points Contribution

Points Won

From those 1803 points that Messi's team won with him on the pitch, 17.30% (312) of them were won because of goals scored by Leo Messi.

From the 2101 points that Ronaldo's team won with him on the pitch, 18.04% (379) of them were won because of goals scored by Cristiano.

Points Won via Goals and Assists

From the 1803 points that Messi's team won with him on the pitch, 27.45% (495) of them were won because of goals scored or assisted by Leo Messi.

From the 2101 points that Ronaldo's team won with him on the pitch, 24.42% (513) of them were won because of goals scored or assisted by Cristiano.

What conclusions can we draw from the above stats?

Overall, Messi's teams have won a higher percentage of points than Ronaldo's, but not by a huge margin. In the case of this particular stat, you could argue that it's because Messi's team was superior, or you could argue that Messi's presence in his team was more effective than Ronaldo's.

In terms of points won directly from goals scored, Ronaldo now has a slight edge overall but the difference is extremely minimal, to the extent that we can't really draw any significant conclusions. Both players' goals have had about the same impact in terms of their teams' results.

When it comes to points won from goals and assists, we can see that Messi's goal contributions win points for his team more often than Ronaldo's goal contributions. However, rather than Messi's assists being more meaningful, this can probably be attributed to the fact that Leo Messi registers considerably more assists in general than Cristiano.
