When the debate arises over the greatest of all time, only two names normally crop up: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The two superstars are undoubtedly the best players the 21st century has seen and have often had to share the limelight as they attempted to one-up each other on the field with their genius.
Well, let's start simple. Ronaldo is three years older than Messi and has unsurprisingly played more football over his illustrious career. He has played in over 1,200 matches for club and country - excluding appearances at the Olympics and youth team level for Portugal - while his Argentinian rival has over 1,000 appearances to his name.
