Messi scores five, Ronaldo scores two
There has been endless debate on who is the greater between Messi and Ronaldo for many years
The debate around who is better between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo has lasted for year and maybe on a little longer.
At the weekend, the duo highlighted their continuos importance to their respective national teams scoring goals that ensured victory.
There was no stopping Messi at the El Sadar on Sunday, as the forward scored all five of Argentina's goals in their 5-0 win over Estonia.
The friendly will be remembered given the sensational performance by the PSG forward, who made history with the Albiceleste.
It's the second time he's scored a handful in a match. The first came on March 7, 2012 in Barcelona's 7-1 victory over Bayern Leverkusen in the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 clash.
Prior to Sunday, he had never scored more than three goals in a match for Argentina.
However, his goals in the ninth minute via a penalty, 45th, 47th, 71st and 76th have changed that.
On his part, Ronaldo netted twice in Portugal's 4-0 hammering of Switzerland on Sunday night, UEFA Nations League A match.
The Manchester United forward started on the bench in the 1-1 draw with Spain in midweek, but was in the line-up against the Swiss and made his presence felt.
In the 15th minute, William Carvalho put the hosts ahead thanks to a Ronaldo assist, entering the net via a deflection.
Then, Ronaldo got his name on the scoresheet on 35 minutes, unleashing a powerful strike into the corner.
Just before half-time, Ronaldo helped himself to another with some quick reactions in the box to slot home on the rebound.
In the second half, it was a matter of how many Portugal would score. The hosts continued to dominate but took their foot off the gas, with further matches against Czech Republic and, again, Switzerland in the space of a week.
Joao Cancelo made it 4-0 on 68 minutes, tucking away a one-on-one opportunity to cap off an impressive display
