Both players have been named the best in the world a combined 12 times since 2008. Their rivalry peaked when Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid from Manchester United in 2009 and became a direct rival of Barcelona and Lionel Messi. Over the course of the last decade and a half, both players have given the fans countless unforgettable memories. While the question of who is better is eternal, fans need to appreciate both legends as long as they are playing. Samson, meanwhile, found himself in India's XI in the first ODI against Zimbabwe. He came in handy behind the stumps, taking two catches. However, the 27-year-old didn't need to pad up and go to the crease for India's run chase as openers Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill remained not out to chase down the paltry target of 192. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have had contrasting starts to their campaigns in 2022-23 Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's starts to the 2022-23 season with their respective clubs couldn't have been any different. Messi seems to be finally finding his feet at PSG. The Argentine maestro joined the Parisians last season after a massively successful stint of 16 years with FC Barcelona.

Messi has scored three goals and assisted one in his first three matches for PSG this season. Ronaldo, meanwhile, has made a disastrous start to his campaign with Manchester United as the Red Devils have lost both of their Premier League matches this season and currently sit at the bottom of the league table.
