Raw stats like that are very arbitrary though. Messi probably has a higher % of his shots taken within ranges he’s more likely to hit the target whereas Ronaldo is known to take on shots from obscene angles and ranges no other player would even think of which will skew the data. Therefore those numbers don’t necessarily prove Messi is a more deadly finisher.
Under Dist you can see the average distance of all shots taken.

Their stats depend massively on the teams around them. Messi will be the stat king this year because French league is no contest for PSG but remember his best performances and most successful period were with Xavi and Iniesta then alongside Suarez and Neymar. Ronaldo is doing it with Bernardeschi and Rabiot having adapted to every club he played for. Stats are just stats.
