Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have led the way in almost every aspect in the last decade, but they have not been able to beat Higuaín in one respect: the Argentine has a better shooting rate.
Messi and Cristiano have broken many records and ruled La Liga in many aspects related to scoring, with the Argentinean wearing the colours of Barcelona and the Portuguese those of Real Madrid.
The Rosario-born player has scored 350 goals and given 137 assists, while the Madeira-born player, now at Juventus, has scored 280 goals and given 80 passes as a 'merengue', but neither could take away a statistic from Higuaín.
The player has the highest percentage of success in front of goal (29,09% of shots on goal) in his time with Real Madrid. Messi has 20,93% and Cristiano 16,22%. In fact, they're not even in the top five. The other four leading players in the league during the past decade are Alexis Sánchez (27.08%), Carlos Castro (26.83%), Cédric Bakambú (24.81%) and Kevin Gameiro (24.73%).
However, none of them have done well... Higuain has lost importance at Juventus, who are planning to sell the striker in the summer, while Alexis Sanchez has failed at Manchester United and is also not succeeding at Inter, who are going to return the Chilean to the English club.
On the other hand, Castro plays for Lugo in Segunda and Bakambú went to China. Gameiro is not going through his best moment either, as he has only played four league matches with Valencia.
