The 2014/15 season has finished for Ronaldo, but not for Messi.

The season has finished for Ronaldo, but not for Messi. His fight to go one better than the Portuguese is not yet over - there is the honour of being the season's top goalscorer to play for. Ronaldo signed off his footballing year with a hat trick against Armenia, giving Portugal their much-needed victory which was a giant step towards qualifying for the Euros next summer. These last three strikes saw him finish the season with 66 goals from a total of 60 games, meaning an average strike rate of 1.1 goals per match.

Messi has a maximum of five games left to play this season, depending on how far Argentina get in the Copa América. 'La Pulga' scored from the penalty spot in his country's draw with Paraguay and now he is preparing himself for the games against Uruguay and Jamaica before the quarter-finals. This last goal from the 12-yard spot puts the Argentine ace on 62 goals - oddly enough, from 62 games, making his strike rate a goal a game. He therefore needs four more to come level with Ronaldo - something he is more than capable of doing.

Messi and Ronaldo are way above anybody else. Nobody comes even close to the goals they have scored, except for one man. Jonathon Soriano, who plays in the Austrian league has proven to be as deadly this season. The Red Bull Salzburg forward has put the ball into the back of the net 44 times from 45 games. Of course, Austria's is not such a demanding league. If we look at the more competitive leagues, we find Agüero (38 goals from 48 games, an average strike rate of 0.79), Neymar (48 from 62, an average of 0.72), Luis Suárez (28 from 46, 0.6), Tévez (27 from 52, 0.51) and Lacazette (32 from 46, 0.69). Nobody comes close to the two Real and Barça stars.
