Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been in the headlines this year for various reasons. Fans are searching for these Goliaths of soccer far more than any soccer player in the world. It has been more than a decade since they dominated the soccer world. Even though Ronaldo moved to Saudi Arabia after an ugly fallout with Manchester United and Lionel Messi’s potential departure from PSG. Soccer fans all around the world couldn’t have enough to talk about these megastars.

Yesterday PSG faced Brest in a Ligue 1 matchup. The behemoths of Ligue 1 won the match due to a last-minute goal by Kylian Mbappe. The goal came from a magnificent pass by Messi. On the other hand, Ronaldo is putting the Saudi Pro league’s defenders in a frenzy by single-handedly winning matches for Al-Nassr. The two megastars of football not only compete against each other on the pitch but also off the pitch.
