Evaluating football minute leaders

I'm providing context regarding club league matches in the top five leagues since 2000. Cristiano Ronaldo played in the EPL, La Liga, and Serie A, while Lionel Messi played primarily in La Liga, Ligue 1, and MLS, which isn't in the top five. Now, for the third-highest minute leader, I wonder if it could be Joaquín or possibly Buffon. It's clear that while Ronaldo leads, goalkeepers tend to have more minutes too, given their consistent positions.
