Records are made to destroy them

Urge sometimes renewing old maxims commonly accepted meanings and to describe common situations. If records are to be broken, Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi have decided not to overcome, are sprayed. Every creature has 41 goals, typical number of Estonian Golden Boot or Armenian whose goals include half on average, but never in the Spanish league. And not just get one of them, as the striker who has one year of glory and gets around with amplitude exceeding the second, that two players have beaten the mark of 40 goals is something never seen and probably it takes us to see . If two scorers from the likes of Argentine and Portuguese, with two teams lofty, too, again coincide in time and space. And that neither is a striker for use.

I remember three years ago duel between two players in the top scorer trophy in the last decade as Forlan and Eto'o, both now out of our league. It seemed that the Cameroonian first stiletto Barca Guardiola would take the trophy scorer for the second time in his career, but a grand finale of the Uruguayan with Atletico Madrid, where he walked around with his left foot with right hand head, from outside the area ... beat him finally making his mark in 32, two more than Eto'o. A great duel in which both reached the 30 goals. A figure that should go back to 1997, with Ronaldo in Barcelona (34) to see repeated: between Ronaldo and Forlan (and Eto'o) no top scorer hit the 30 goals, and that they marched names like Raul Makaay, Vieri, Ronaldo and Van Nistelrooy again.

They are the contemporary times of football, was also behind great scorers which not only had good numbers, but also great averages. In the thirties had a great scorer in Spain as Isidro Langara, who was top scorer in the league for three consecutive years with 27, 26 and 27 goals in 18, 22 and 21 games respectively. It was, moreover, with Real Oviedo. After Zarra come to beat all records with the Athletic Club, scoring a total of 333 goals in 352 games. Puskas, Di Stefano, Quini, Kempes, Hugo Sanchez ... It would be absurd to compare numbers across different times, but the fact is it would cost to find a match in which we live today with two giants like Messi and Cristiano.

It is true that two teams play well above the rest, but the fact remains that they are in large part thanks to them. The Argentine is the perfect pen for gear Barca, the player who makes a style numbers. To Messi football is like that already dominabas game and were playing only to increase records. Cristiano Ronaldo is the longing for the goal: a player who started out as an extreme virtuosity delivered to mutate scorer obsessed with the network, the bottom line to the diagonal, assistance at the touch of grace. Messi has always scored goals, and the growth of your equipment is proportional to its own. Cristiano Ronaldo in Manchester showed that his relationship with the goal was more than friendship.

Two players for the story, regardless of who is better, always try to find 'buts', that will be. Two players who make the rest look worse than they really are bad would take them as reference. We have always heard of Di Stefano, Pele, Garrincha, Eusebio, Charlton, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Platini, Van Basten, Maradona ... we have seen Ronaldo, Zidane ... Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.
