A thread on why Messi's numbers in finals are deceptive and all thanks to Athletic Bibao, Sevilla and Alaves tax.

Breakdown of Ronaldo's goals in finals vs Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Bilbao & Alaves.

• Barcelona: 7 games, 5 goals
• Atletico: 5 games 2 goals
• Sevilla: 1 game, 2 goals
• Bilbao: 0 games, 0 goals
• Alaves: 0 games, 0 goals

Breakdown of Messi's goals in finals vs Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Sevilla, Bilbap & Alaves.

• Bilbao: 9 games, 9 goals
• Sevilla: 9 games, 7 goals
• R Madrid: 8 games, 6 goals
• Alaves: 1 game, 1 goal
• Atletico: 2 games, 0 goals

Imagine Ronaldo's numbers if he had the opportunity to play against the likes of Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla & Alaves in finals as frequently as Messi did.

These above mentioned teams have the tendency to choke in finals when they are up against clubs like Real Madrid & Barcelona

Especially, they bend over backwards whenever they are facing Barcelona.

This is why, to judge who is more clutch between Messi & Ronaldo, you should always take into account their numbers in Ucl finals, Intl Finals & El Classico CDR finals.

End of thread.
