Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez: Who has the best mins-per-goal in La Liga history?
Cristiano Ronaldo’s spell at Real Madrid is the stuff of footballing legend.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner swapped Manchester United for the Spanish capital in the summer of 2009.
Ronaldo cost Real Madrid an eye-watering £80 million (a world record fee at the time) and was worth every single penny.
The Portugal international finished his time at the club with more goals than games played, which is quite simply extraordinary.
Ronaldo and Barcelona legend Lionel Messi played football from a different planet during their La Liga days.
That’s proven by the fact both superstars possess a minute-per-goal record in the division that’s less than 90.
However, neither Ronaldo or Messi sit top of the pile when it comes to minutes-per-goal in La Liga’s rich history…
