To day of today, Leo Messi heads the ranking of maximum goleadores historical of the Glass of Europe with 74 goals, three more than Raúl González and four more than Cristiano Ronaldo. What a lot of forget, however, is that Messi is two years old less than the Portuguese

Of the two "cracks", Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the one who truly has the opportunity to make history in the world of the football is the Argentinian. "The Flea" (27 years), with two years less than the luso (29), has still a lot of way by in front to follow marking goals with the T-shirt of the FC Barcelona in Champions League and the other competitions that contest, whereas "CR7" -that always has depended on his physicist- will go seeing mermado his game with the step of the years.

The talent of Messi, pure technician and electricity with the balloon, will cause that his style of game do not suffer a so drastic deterioration with the years, since only it will have to delay a bit his position -until the zone of mediapunta- to follow giving to the followers culés with goals and, overcoat, assistances. It fits to stand out that Raúl, to the 27 years, added only 48 goals in Glass of Europe, whereas Cristiano Ronaldo only accumulated 44 targets in the prestigious competicion European with the same age that has now Messi.

The 4 times Balloon of Gold Leo Messi, therefore, is the one who has capacity to make history real in the world of the football and, in particular, in Champions League. Cristiano Ronaldo will fulfil on 5 February 30 years. We will see how long it holds to the level goleador of now.

Messi, with 16 parties less than Cristiano Ronaldo in the European competition, already has surpassed him to level goleador and has beaten sobradamente the record of Raúl González with a "hat-trick" against the Apoel, something that sure will have done a lot of damage to the ego of the Portuguese. The most remarkable, however, is that the Argentinian needed 49 meetings less than Raúl to equalise him. "No only I want to be the best player of Portugal, but of the world", said Cristiano Ronaldo weeks backwards when receiving the Boot of Gold 2014. Messi, for the moment, already has answered him on the terrains of game.
