Group F between Barcelona and Juventus is all about group victory, but tonight’s clash is much more than a duel between two big clubs: for the first time since May 2018, two of the greatest players in history are facing each other again.

Between 2009 and 2018, the duel between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo delighted the football world year after year in the Spanish league. Since Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Italy, the two superstars have not faced each other – until today. Before we meet again in the Champions League (live and exclusively on “blue Sport”, studio start at 8 pm, kick-off at 9 pm) «blue Sport» presents the most important facts about the «eternal» rivalry:

Das «Head-to-Head»

  • So far, Messi and Ronaldo have competed against each other 35 times, with the slightly better statistic for the Argentine: Messi is ahead with 16 wins and 22 goals, Ronaldo has ten full wins and 19 goals. Nine clashes between the two ended without a winner, just like the last duel in May 2018, when both Messi and Ronaldo were able to excel as goalscorers in the Clásico.
  • In the Champions League there have been five direct duels between the two exceptional talents. What stands out: “Mister Champions League” Ronaldo was still without a goal in these 450 minutes. At the same time, Messi scored three goals against Ronaldo Royal.
  • In addition, «la pulga» provided his teammates with twelve assists in the 35 clashes, while the Portuguese only booked one assist.
