Messi has spent his entire career at Camp Nou and has won many trophies for his boyhood club including six Ballon d'Or awards.
His rivalry with Ronaldo became pronounced when the Portuguese left Man United to join Real Madrid in 2009.
And CR7's entire nine years in Spain brought the world to their feet as both players showed their talent and broke several goalscoring records.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Arsenal have reportedly concluded plans to terminate Mesut Ozil's contract barely six months before the expiration of his deal.
And they are willing to pay him a staggering £7.2 million severance package just to get him off their wage bill.
The German midfielder is the highest-paid Gunners star with £350,000-a-week wages but has failed to taste any competitive action this campaign.
