Current goals total in La Liga: Ronaldo 31-25 Messi

With two rounds of games remaining in La Liga's season, Cristiano Ronaldo has a six-goal lead on Lionel Messi in the pair's head-to-head scoring battle. ESPN's projection model predicts that Messi, who has scored three goals in his past four matches, has a great chance to score a multi-goal game when Barcelona host crosstown rivals Espanyol. But Ronaldo, too, is expected to get on the score sheet when Valencia visit the Bernabeu.

Numbers for Messi are based on him starting the game.
