Messi scored Barcelona's sixth in an 8-0 thrashing of Deportivo. The Argentine forward, who also claimed a pair of assists, got two of the four shots he took on target.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo failed to find the net in Real Madrid's 3-0 win against Villarreal, despite having seven shots, just two of which he got on goal.
Ratings and review
Here's what our Real Madrid and Barcelona club bloggers had to say about each man's performance.
Rob Train on Ronaldo: 6/10 -- He took a crunching early tackle from Mario Gaspar in good humour, drew a save from Sergio Asenjo after 10 minutes and was involved in the first goal. However, Ronaldo found a worthy adversary in Eric Bailly, with the Ivory Coast defender thwarting the Portuguese several times. Ronaldo reverted to the pot-shot option as a result, sending a few into the upper tier.
Lee Roden on Messi: 8/10 -- Luis Suarez stole the limelight but Messi was immense for Barca, too. He produced a tremendous touch for the Uruguayan's second in the first half, a fine through ball for his third after the break and delivered a great pass to Neymar for Suarez's fourth. Eventually Messi got his goal as well, lofting the ball into an empty net after some good work from Suarez.
