Cristiano Ronaldo's Record Against Chelsea Is Even Worse Than Lionel Messi's

As we've mentioned several times already today, Lionel Messi put his 730 minute duck to bed on Tuesday night during Barcelona's 1-1 draw against Chelsea.

After nine games of trying the five-time Ballon d'Or winner eventually dumbfounded Thibaut Courtois by sending him the wrong way after connecting perfectly to Andres Iniesta's cut back.

To be honest, it was only a matter of time before Messi scored with his 30th shot against Antonio Conte's side.

While we've all been enticed by Messi's poor record against Chelsea, another surprising stat has emerged involving his long-term rival, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Twitter account 442stat.com have dug into the archives to find that Ronaldo has a woeful record against the Blues, scoring just once in 15 games against the Premier League champions.

In fact the 33-year-old has played a total of 1218 minutes against Chelsea, assisting just once - which is surprising considering the amount he picked up during his time at Manchester United.

Plenty picked up on the stat and started to question why nobody has mentioned the fact that Ronaldo has scored just once in 15 games against the Blues.

Here are some reactions from Twitter:
