For Lewandowski, Bayern still has two rounds of league games, so he will two more games to score more goals. Juventus has three rounds of league game left this year, but Allegri has announced that he will let Ronaldo in one of them, so Ronaldo also has two more games left in 2018. This means that Messi will play one game less with an advantage of 4 goals. Whether Lewandowski and C.
