As you can see on the previous slide, Messi contributes way more when it comes to creativity in the Barca team. That is also the reason why Barca have scored more goals than Juventus. Messi is the main man that makes the different.
But, to measure the support Messi and Ronaldo gets. It’s interesting looking at what their teammates do. The two teammates with most big chances created:
Juventus:
• Chiesa: 15
• Cuadrado: 11
Barca:

• Griezmann: 8
Amount of big chances created minus the ones Messi and Ronaldo created.
• Juventus: 93

The reasons behind why many consider Barca as a better team:
1. Messi’s efficiency. He takes advantage of the big chances and scores them.
2. Messi’s creativity. While also scoring goals. He drops deep and contributes in the build ups. He creates opportunities for others.

If Messi would have played for Juventus. Messi would make them better. He would provide much better service.
• He would score the goals Ronaldo scores.
• He would lift the entire team through his passing & playmaking abilities.

Messi does what Ronaldo can’t.
Ronaldo might not get the service he needs. But don’t compare it to Barca & Messi, when Messi is the reason it is that way.
This was basic statistics. If you go in the depth you get to see that Messi is much more clear.
