Messi with 51 goals to his credit is going to end 2018 as the footballer having scored the most number of goals unless Ronaldo manages to beat him to it by scoring 4 goals against Sampdoria later today.This is their goal status at the moment.
Messi: Club (47) | Country (4)
Ronaldo: Club (41) | Country (6)
Messi ended 2018 in style by scoring his 31st hatrick for La Liga when Barcelona beat Levante 5-0 a few days ago.
