Although they are at the end of their playing careers, the conflict between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi still exists digitally in many aspects.
One of these aspects is the number of goals scored by both stars via free kicks, and so far the Inter Miami star still prevails.
But Ronaldo came back with full force and came very close to the “flea” thanks to his two goals against Abha from two free kicks, in the match that Al-Nasr won 8-0 over Pitso Mosimane’s squad.
Over the course of his career, Ronaldo scored 63 goals from direct free kicks, and the advantage here still goes to Messi, considering that the Argentine scored 65 goals from direct free kicks.
It seems that this struggle will continue until the last minute of the duo’s career, given their proficiency in executing free kicks.
It is noteworthy that Ronaldo this season scored 29 goals in the Saudi League in 26 rounds, while Messi, despite injuries, scored 3 goals in 3 appearances in the American League with Inter Miami.
