Messi and Ronaldo .. Who gets the most red cards?

The comparisons between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have not stopped since the Portuguese joined Real Madrid, Barcelona’s traditional rivals, who considers the Argentine his historic goalscorer and current star.

The numbers of the players and their achievements over the past years confirm the extent of the conflict between them, as their statistics converge in a number of indicators, such as the percentage of goals, the number of times won the Ballon d’Or, and so on.

With Messi sent off during the match that brought together Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao on Sunday in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, many wondered about the most “disciplined” player between the Argentine and the Portuguese.

Messi and Ronaldo are fierce competitors on the field, and are fanatic sometimes when opponents can outmaneuver them, or when things do not go as they desire during the course of matches, but the Portuguese star can be considered less “disciplined” than his Argentine opponent, if we take into account the number of cards that get It has every one no matter what.

The red card Messi received on Sunday was only his first in the course of his career with Barcelona, ​​but the “flea” was sent off twice with the Argentine national team.

On the other hand, Ronaldo’s record is full of red energies, as he was sent off 11 times (7 times directly).

Ronaldo got four red cards when he was playing for Manchester United between the years 2003 and 2009, six red cards with Real Madrid (2009/2018), and one red card with his current team, Juventus.

The “Don” was never sent off with his country, Portugal.
