Ronaldo vs. Messi: Who's the top scorer?

Follow us at @CNNSport and like us on Facebook

The rivalry between Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo has dominated the back-page headlines -- not just in Spain, but across the world -- thanks to their phenomenal goalscoring feats.

Since their season started in August, Portugal captain Ronaldo -- who won his third World Player of the Year award in January -- is on top with 50 goals in all competitions.

Argentina skipper Messi is not far behind, with the four-time Ballon d'Or winner scoring a total of 46 goals in the same period for his club.

Ronaldo's tally means he has already equaled the number of goals he scored last season.

Goals from the UEFA Super Cup (USC), Copa Del Rey (CDR), the European Champions League (CL) and La Liga (LIGA) are listed below in chronological order -- and with more matches left to play, it's still anyone's game.

Both players are in action in this week's Champions League quarterfinals as Barca takes on Paris Saint-German on Tuesday, while Real faces city rivals Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

Wimbledon bans 'selfie sticks'

The gadget is pictured in the prohibited section of the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) guide for the 2015 championships -- alongside knives, flares and klaxons. Wimbledon is the latest venue to ban the contraption, with London's National Gallery, Manchester United Football Club and New York's Museum of Modern Art waving goodbye to the handy prop. A ticket-holders' guide for this year's tournament says: "In common with many other major sports and entertainment events and cultural attractions, The Championships will not allow 'selfie sticks' into the grounds." A spokesman for the historic venue -- which was formed in 1868 -- said the move comes partly because of the "nuisance value" of the sticks, and also so that it "doesn't interfere with spectators' enjoyment." This comes despite a recent surge in popularity, with tennis star Maria Sharapova, U.S. President Barack Obama and Great Britain's PM David Cameron all see
