DBasia.news – Rivalry between two “aliens”, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, is timeless even though the age of the two are in their 30’s. This season, both of them are compact in their respective league.
Competition between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi began in the 2009-2010 season. Precisely when Ronaldo decided to move to Real Madrid which incidentally was the eternal rival of Messi’s club, Barcelona.
Since then, the main headline of Cristiano Ronaldo’s competition with Lionel Messi has made headlines in sports media around the world. Competition inside and outside the field heats up.
The tension of rivalry began to decline since the summer of 2018. The move of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus made his competition with Lionel Messi no longer as steaming as before.

One week later, it was Lionel Messi’s turn to ensure the LaLiga trophy from 2018 to 1919. Messi’s single goal made Barcelona win over Levante.
Apparently, there is a uniqueness in the title that each player achieved. As this marks a decade since the last time Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi won the domestic league in the same season.
