Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo supremacy battle has once again come to the fore. This is after Argentina were bundled out of the Copa America tournament by their rivals, Brazil in the semis.

The Selecao advanced to the final with a 2-0 win over the Messi-led team on Tuesday in a bad-tempered match that was decided by a goal in each half from Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino respectively.

Messi, who has never won a major title with Argentina was far from convincing against the Brazilians and suffered another heart-break in national colors.

 

Online users wasted no time in comparing the Barcelona man with Ronaldo who has helped his national team win two major trophies.

Ronaldo fans have insisted that their player is the greatest of all time (G.O.A.T) owing to his achievements to his national team.
