Messi vs. Ronaldo: How to watch Barcelona vs. Juventus Champions League game in Canada image

The Messi vs. Ronaldo debate has been going on for the better part of the last decade, and the latest clash between the two current GOATs of soccer is set to take place on Tuesday in the final game of the UEFA Champions League Group Stage.

If you're going by Champions League titles, Ronaldo has the edge with five compared to Messi's four. All four of Messi's UCL championships have been with Barcelona, with the last coming in 2015. Ronaldo's first UCL title came with Manchester United in 2008, while his other four came with Real Madrid, the last coming in 2018.

If you want to talk goals in the Champions League, the two combined to win the competition's top goal scorer award 12 consecutive seasons before Robert Lewandowski broke the streak last season. Ronaldo has been the UCL's top scorer seven times, while Messi has accomplished the feat six times.

Ronaldo holds the edge in total UCL goals with 132 goals in 173 games, but Messi actually has a slightly better goal per game ratio with 118 goals in 146 games (0.8 vs. 0.76).

Messi has gotten the better of Ronaldo in their head-to-head meetings in the Champions League. In five games, Messi has won twice, while Ronaldo won just once back when he was with Manchester United. Messi's also been the better head-to-head performer with three goals, while Ronaldo has never scored against Messi in UCL play. Messi bagged a penalty kick in the 91st minute to seal the win for Barcelona on Matchday 2 the last time they faced in Juventus.
