The Portuguese ended up in 23rd place in a study searching for the best players in La Liga's 85-year history.
The study was conducted by the Centre for Investigations into the History and Statistics of Spanish Football (CIHEFE), which analysed the performances of 9 117 players since the league's inception in 1928/29.
Spanish publication AS explained that: "24 points were awarded to each player based on minutes played per season, one point for each goal scored, 0.6 points for penalties, for example. Points were also subtracted for incidents such as own goals (0.4) and sendings off (1.5)."
Based on these calculations Ronaldo ended up in 23rd spot, while Messi finished fourth. David Villa (32), Xavi Hernandez (49) and Iker Casillas (62) were the other players who are still active among the top 100.
