Messi Vs Ronaldo Stats

About Makeover Monday

MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”

Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decided to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.

The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

This week’s dataset is about Messi and Ronaldo’s performance stats since season 2009-10. The original viz can be found here. I am not a big soccer fan, but I have heard of these two very famous player lol.

My Visualization

Not too excited about the data, so I built a simple viz with a stats switcher on the top.

Insights

• I am not an expert on sports stats, but simply looking at the trends here, seems like Messi and Ronaldo are catching up each other tightly without an obvious winner. Both are great players :)
