Lionel Messi has admitted in the past that he would love to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo amid increasing speculation that the Portuguese icon is moving to Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
The Argentine World Cup winner has shared the field and a rivalry with Ronaldo for almost two decades, cementing their status as two of the best footballers that the world has ever seen. When Messi left Barcelona to join Paris Saint Germain, the possibility of the duo playing in the same team suddenly became a lot stronger.
However, Ronaldo made a sentimental return to Old Trafford where he enjoyed a solid if not outstanding renaissance season with Manchester United – scoring 18 in the league and six in the Champions League – before his controversial exit from the club earlier this month.
