Lionel Messi dig as Cristiano Ronaldo Champions League admission made by Bayern Munich star

Cristiano Ronaldo may not be featuring in the Champions League these days but his impact in the competition has not been forgotten at the highest level.

Bayern Munich star Thomas Muller referenced the former Manchester United man, now playing his club football in Saudi Arabia for Al-Nassr, in the wake of his side knocking Paris St-Germain out of the Champions League on Wednesday night - and Lionel Messi was on the end of the German's cheeky dig.

Muller featured for Bayern as they beat Messi and Co 2-0 on Wednesday night to complete a 3-0 aggregate victory which moved the German champions into the last eight. For PSG, the wait for European success will go on for at least another season and Muller was confident of progression despite World Cup winner Messi lining up on the opposite side.
