Ronaldo, Messi, and Lewandowski made the cut in the top 20 list of players with the most goals and assists combined in 2021 for club and country.
Lionel Messi has managed the most goals and assists combined in 2021 on 27 goals (19 goals scored and 8 assists), with Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland completing the top three.
Despite a tough month, Cristiano Ronaldo is in a respectable sixth place. The Juventus ace scored his 14th goal of the year to help Portugal beat Luxembourg 3-1 and is only four goals adrift of the top-four. Given Lewandowski’s injury, he has a decent chance of re-entering the podium spots.
A surprise high-flyer in 2021 is perhaps Antoine Griezmann. The Frenchman has managed nine goals and assists for club and country, while Romelu Lukaku is surprisingly only 12th despite his promising recent form.
