Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the leading stalwarts of football have been sharing the top flight stage for more than 15 years.
But after the World Cup triumph by the Argentine “GOAT”, the debate of the best had dimmed a little bit, as football pundits used to say Messi has achieved the ultimate status of the game as football was granted justice.

But in the recently staged international break, both of the stars got notched up in heaven as they returned to their National teams in style.
Messi scored a beautiful eye soothing free-kick in the homecoming celebratory game against Panama, which was their first game after World Cup triumph, before scoring a 36-minute hattrick against Curacao last night. He also entered in the record books as he could see his name in the 100-goal scorers for National Team.
He went on to score 2 more goals in the night, after netting the first on 20th minute, followed up by goals on 33rd and 37th minute.
New entrant in the list of 100 goals
Along with Ronaldo, the Portuguese legend, and Iranian Ali Daei ,Messi entered the all-time top scorer for national team, which fetched them a star status, and living legend.
Ronaldo, on the other hand scored against Luxembourg and Liechtenstein, with a swerving free kick against the latter, thus increasing his goals tally to 122.
Ronaldo who had been under fire in Manchester United, has been in top form in Saudi Pro League, scoring 8 goals before the break. Meanwhile on the other hand, Messi has also been garnering praises since his World Cup glory, playing brilliantly for PSG, with his impeccable passes and dribbling finesse.
It will be entertaining to see how the GOATs fare in the next matches, or in their remaining career, so that everyone can remember this rivalry for ages hence.
