GIVE these two an inch, and they’ll run you ragged on a football pitch.
And when it comes to their tellies, both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo know that size matters.

During the coronavirus lockdown these two footballing gods and their families will have been settling down in front of their TV to catch up on their favourite shows.
They are certainly stars of the screen but which has the biggest gogglebox? Ronaldo or Messi?
RONNIE’S MERE 65ins
Having four children, Ronaldo needs several TVs in his house.
Sat on his wall, with a snazzy border, is this effort that he and partner Georgina Rodriguez prefer to settle in front of.
Our measuring tape shows this one boasts a 65″ screen.
While we’re not sure on what brand it is, it certainly would’ve have come cheap knowing Ronaldo’s expensive taste.
But surely on his downtime he could’ve found something else to watch other than footy?

RONNIE’S MODEST 75ins
If there’s one thing the pair can agree on, it’s that Samsung TVs are the way forward.
However Ronaldo lags slightly behind Messi when it comes to the inches on his telly.
But Ronaldo chooses to entertain his brood with this TV which we reckon is 75″ from corner to corner.
It would’ve cost around £4,5000.
It’s not too shabby but marginally smaller than Leo’s whopper.

MESSI’S MONSTER 85ins
When Messi was missing in action during a Champions League tie against Bate Borisov, he showed off a brilliant telly he was watching all the action from.
Sat on the wall of his massive Barcelona mansion which we estimate was a 85″ Samsung TV that would’ve cost the Argie ace somewhere in the region of £5,500.
Watching the game on that beast must’ve made the 5ft 7in forward believe he was almost in the thick of the action!
In fact, it’s even bigger than him, as he stands at 67ins in his socks.
So MESSI wins the biggest telly prize.
Not quite a Ballon d’Or but definitely another reason for Ronaldo to be jealous.
