Messi and Ronaldo have enjoyed much success in the Champions League down the years with both pair winning the tournament combine nine times.

However, with Messi aged 33 and Ronaldo 35 there are concerns that this could be a changing of the guard moment.

In the 2004-05 season Messi, who was just starting his career, only featured once in the Champions League as Barcelona were knocked out by Chelsea in the last 16.

Ronaldo unable to prevent Manchester United go out in the last-16 after Sir Alex Ferguson’s side being beaten by AC Milan.
