Messi is a seven-time Ballon d'Or winner whilst Ronaldo has five to his name
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward Neymar has described iconic duo Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in one word."Genius."
It is the right description for both legendary forwards given the extraordinary careers they have both accomplished.
Messi is a seven-time Ballon d'Or winner whilst Ronaldo has five to his name.
The Portuguese forward is a five-time Champions League winner whilst the Argentine has four European titles.

The duo were together at Barcelona and had huge success in the incredible 'MSN' trio with Luis Suarez.
The pair won the Champions League once alongside the La Liga title twice.
Neymar scored 105 goals and contributed 76 assists during his time at the Nou Camp whilst Messi became for many the greatest of all time in Catalonia.
The Argentinian bagged and astounding 672 goals and 303 assists in 778 appearances during his 16 seasons at Barcelona.
He would make a bittersweet departure last summer and head to PSG where he would be reunited with Neymar.
The pair won the Ligue 1 title last season and have started the new campaign off in scintillating form.
The Brazilian has nine goals and seven assists in six appearances whilst the Argentine has four goals and six assists in six.
With his goal against Toulouse, Neymar has now scored or assisted in 16 consecutive games for club & country breaking Messi & Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of 15.
