The last decade undoubtedly was dominated by two icons: Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Both played in the Spanish league, and there was born one of the greatest rivalries in the history of football. They spent almost eight years together, competing to prove who was the best player in the world. But now time has passed, and both have different lives.
Both left the clubs where they rose to their top level. Now, it's just a distant memory when Cristiano Ronaldo played at Real Madrid and Lionel Messi at Barcelona. Today we have to settle for a unique picture: seeing Ronaldo on the Manchester United bench and Lionel Messi playing for Paris Saint Germain.

The last years of Cristiano Ronaldo have stood out by suffering. Since his return to the Red Devils, he hasn't been able to show the level he once had. Despite being Manchester United's leader last season, the team failed to reach the Champions League and now plays the Europa League. But Messi is still in the best competition in the world since PSG won the French league.
Also during the international break, he suffers
Despite that, we thought maybe Cristiano Ronaldo would do better in the Nations League with Portugal. But it hasn't been like that. His teammates who actually play at Manchester United (Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes) had a better performance in Portugal's victory against the Czech Republic.
On the other hand, Messi showed off against Honduras by scoring two goals against the Central American team. Clearly, in the twilight of their careers, they are having different endings.
