FIFPRO’s final team includes Messi but not Ronaldo. Our ledger separates goals scored after the award’s performance window.
Our take: Since the performance window closed, our ledger records 18 Messi goals and 8 Ronaldo goals. Those later goals count towards the Race to 1,000 but fall outside the period behind this selection.

Ronaldo’s league return set for Al Ahli on 20 November
SPL confirms Al Nassr’s rearranged league dates, starting at Al Ahli on 20 November. Our opponent record separates league and cup goals.
Our take: Our ledger records five Ronaldo goals against Al Ahli: four in the league and one in the Saudi Super Cup. The opponent page keeps those competitions separate, so five is not his league-only record.
