Ronaldo and Messi are neck-and-neck in a race to become the Champions League's all-time leading scorer by breaking the record held by Raul Gonzalez. Ronaldo has 68 goals in Europe's top club competition, one more than Messi. Raul scored 71.
Ronaldo may have a better chance of getting there first as Real Madrid plays at Bulgaria's Ludogorets in Group B on Wednesday, a day after Messi's Barcelona has a tougher trip to Paris Saint-Germain in Group F. The Portugal forward looks primed to increase his goal haul in Sofia after scoring 10 goals in his last six matches, including one four-goal performance and a hat trick.
Messi, meanwhile, scored his 400th and 401st goals for club and country in Barcelona's 6-0 rout of Granada on Saturday.
Their latest two-man contest comes after they have divvied up the Ballon d'Or for the world's best player for the past six years and have taken turns leading the Champions League in scoring for the past seven seasons.
