MoM 2020 Week15 – Tableau
Messi and Ronald, they are both great soccer players, but which one is actually better? The answer to that questions is shown in this visualization.

The use of icons make the visual more appealing to look at, which shouldn’t be the primary focus, but it can be useful for the users’ engagement.
