The two soccer superstar have endured one of the greatest rivalries the sport has ever seen, with Messi and Ronaldo both facing off against each other at the peak of their powers in La Liga.

And speaking to journalist Daniel Habif, the 32-year-old right-back revealed that he would love to see Messi and Ronaldo face off against each other, even with both players at the end of their careers.
Carvajal said: “Messi or Ronaldo? I put them on the same level. I don’t prefer one over the other. They are monsters in every sense of the word, and I could not choose neither this, nor that. I think they are very different.
“Messi is a player who is able to go back, receive the ball, and create attacks, and then he can participate in the play and create. Cristiano is a monster at scoring goals, attacking the area, and finishing. If they were playing together, they would have been explosive. And it would have been interesting to see.”
