Ever wondered what the football world would be like without Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo ? Well naturally we 'd miss their stunning goals and dazzling trickery , but it seems erasing them would shake up the order of things in Spain . Stats gurus Opta have calculated what the La Liga table would look like if the goals of the divine duo were taken away - and there 's quite a dramatic change at the top . La Liga would look very different if the goals of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were taken away .

How the La Liga table would look if goals by Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were taken away ( Opta ) In real life , Real Madrid currently enjoy a two-point advantage over their Clasico rivals , thanks in no small part to the 30 league goals of Ronaldo this season .

Opta went through every match this season in which Messi and Ronaldo have scored and took away their goals from the final score . Ronaldo celebrates his goal in Real Madrid 's 1-1 home draw with Villarreal at the weekend . The Portuguese was also on target in Real 's 2-0 victory at Elche last month . Ronaldo celebrates one of his hat-trick of goals in Real 's 3-0 home win over Celta Vigo in December . With Messi , Barcelona would still win all but one of the matches in which he has scored . That is the 3-2 home win over Villarreal last month , which would end in a draw . But taking away Ronaldo 's goals affects Real 's season more dramatically . The Portuguese scored four in the 5-1 home win over Elche , meaning they would only draw 1-1 . Lionel Messi claims the match ball after his hat-trick in Barcelona 's 5-1 rout of neighbours Espanyol . Messi 's 27 league goals this season have seen him surpass the all-time La Liga scoring record . Messi celebrates with team-mates Pedro and Marc Bartra after scoring in the 5-0 rout of Levante last month .
