Barcelona aren't clicking right now *as we've just seen) but blowing little messi out of the water? Look at the stats for this season. He's still outscoring and out-assisting Ronaldo. And bear in mind he plays far deeper than Ronaldo does now (who's pretty much a pure striker these days) and due to the way Barcelona play has to divide goals with Neymar and Suarez far more evenly than Ronaldo (as the focus of pretty much every attack that Real makes) has to. The previous couple of seasons Ronaldo has definitely had the edge but this season so far I'd say you're basing far too much on a very small amount of games.
Messi: Apps: 45; Goals: 45
Ronaldo: Apps: 38; Goals: 31
We can argue about Ronaldo playing less games and I think he may well end up out-scoring Messi by the end of the season but let's stop this 'blowing little messi out the water' nonsense. The guy's got a season record so far of a goal per game, from an essentially midfield position.
