ABOUT RIVALRY MATRIX

What we do

Rivalry Matrix puts two footballers side by side. Every comparison lines up both players' careers on the same scale: goals and assists, appearances and minutes, per 90 numbers, season-by-season charts, shooting, passing, dribbling and defensive stats, scouting ratings, transfers and international records.

Start with the most popular football rivalries, from Messi vs Ronaldo to the new generation, or compare any two players you like. If a number is new to you, the football stats guide explains what each one means and how to read it.

Where the data comes from

Player statistics, profiles and photos come from BSD (Bzzoiro Sports Data), a football data provider. Match data covers the 2011/12 season onwards, so career totals for players who started earlier can sit below their official figures. Detailed per-match stats such as shots, passes and duels are available for most matches from the mid-2010s on.

Stats are refreshed daily. Data from any provider can contain gaps or mistakes; if you spot one, let us know and we'll look into it.

Independent

Rivalry Matrix is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any club, league, federation or player. Club names, competition names and player names belong to their owners and are used only to identify who is being compared.
