With amazing careers coming to an end, we take a look at the ever-green football debate; Messi vs Ronaldo. On the face of it, they both appear to be almost equally matched. Though one of them might be in front with one criterion, the other makes up for it by being ahead in another. Though we take a deep dive into the statistics, remember that it's not just a matter of the numbers that separate them. Each player has a unique playing style, including how comfortable they are as team players.

Unlike their major Spanish rivals, FC Barcelona, Los Blancos have remained consistent in their form and are still up at the top of the La Liga table. They were beaten out by their local capital competition, Atletico Madrid. Unfortunately, this last season saw them trophyless for the very first time. In June 2021, a new manager joined the club. Now with the respected and experienced Carlo Ancelotti, now at the helm, there is renewed hope that the next season will be one of their best.

Since starting almost 100 years ago, La Liga has gone from strength to strength and is now considered to be one of the best football leagues in the world. Today, teams like Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are considered to contain some of the very top tier players. Players who have unbelievable skills, like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. For many years the two previously mentioned teams have dominated the top of the league, though this year's league winner was a deserving Athletico Madrid.

Football is a highly competitive game, with huge amounts of risk taking to secure a goal. So it's no surprise that football players might like to gamble. But on the other hand, many players are young. Coupled with the extreme wealth they receive in the form of pay, then some can take their gambling too far. To the point above and beyond addiction. And nothing will get you banned faster than when you start betting on your own games. Others like Ronaldo, use their betting skills for charity.
