Who the better player is will always be a hot topic.
But at least Ronaldo does have his own response when quizzed on the rivalry.
Reported by the Daily Mail, Crouch revealed how the Portuguese’s former team-mates at Manchester United used to wind him up by claiming he was second best to Messi.
Speaking to Piers Morgan, the former Stoke and Tottenham striker said: “I spoke to some of the United players and said ‘what’s Ronaldo like?’ and they said they used to wind him up by saying Messi was better than him.
“Ronaldo then said, ‘Yeah, but Messi doesn’t look like this’.”
As well as his football ability, not-so modest Ronaldo is often in the public eye showing off his body or posing in underwear adds.
But there was nothing public about his apparent ‘secret wedding’ with Georgina Rodriguez.
Reports in Italy claimed the pair tied the knot at a low-key ceremony in Morocco.
The 34-year-old has been linked with a move away from the Old Lady following a spat with boss Mauricio Sarri.
Rumours of a rift were sparked after the Italian coach hooked the forward off the 55th minute in a narrow 1-0 win over Juventus.
It is claimed it could be enough for him to ditch the club if they fail to win the Champions League this season.
And it’s reported that the Portuguese superstar could end up back at Old Trafford.
