The players have dominated football for more than a decade.
Between 2008 and 2017, Messi and Ronaldo claimed every Ballon d’Or, the award given to the world’s best male footballer.
Messi has won it twice more since then, while both men played for Spanish teams from 2009 to 2018.
Messi will attempt to lead Argentina to victory for the first time since 1986, while Ronaldo is hoping to help carry Portugal to its first World Cup win, despite his controversial rift with his club, Manchester United, in Qatar.
