The publication further reports that Ronaldo has 99 goals and 37 assists for his national team, taking his assist tally to 251 overall.
Barca legends, Xavi and Iniesta helped the Catalan team achieved successes during their reigns at the club. They won four Champions Leagues before parting ways to try something new elsewhere.
For Xavi, he provided no fewer than 212 assists for the Blaugrana and Al Sadd, while 24 goals in 132 matches for the Spanish national team - making a total of 236 assists in his career.
Iniesta, on the other hand, racked up 150 assists in 715 games for Barcelona and Vissel Kobe, with only 29 more coming in his 131 matches for Spain.
Despite their low-scoring career, both Xavi and Iniesta could be described as one of the midfield partnership of all-time.
But the data has to reinforce the point that Ronaldo's ability to set up his teammates, as well as score a plethora of goals, is magnificent and it's only bettered by Messi.
