The iconic duo’s brilliance has seen many clashes over which of the pair is the best to have graced the game.<\/p>\n

Muller’s Bayern side will come up against Messi’s former side Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League on September 14.<\/p>\n

The German has fueled the flames for what promises to be an intriguing encounter by picking his longtime rival ahead of the Barca legend.<\/p>\n

Muller told ESPN:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“I go for Ronaldo, against Messi I have good statistics, against Ronaldo; not that good.”<\/h3>\n

The Bayern attacker is hinting at the 8-2 demolition of Barca that the Bavarians managed back in the 2020 Champions League campaign.<\/p>\n

Lionel Messi was part of the side that got destroyed, with Muller grabbing a double on the night.<\/p>\n

The Argentine has since moved to PSG and is now back to his usual best following a year of adaptation in the French capital.<\/p>\n

The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner has made nine appearances, scoring four goals and contributing seven assists.<\/p>\n

He was a shock omission from the nominees for this season’s Ballon d’Or but his rival made the list.<\/p>\n

Cristiano Ronaldo holds the record for the most nominations at 18 and is in the running to win his sixth.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese was at his very best when Muller’s Bayern clashed with the United forward’s former side Real Madrid back in 2017.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.<\/p>\n

However, it has not been so rosy at the start of the new season at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

The veteran striker is still without a goal contribution in his first seven appearances of the campaign.<\/p>\n

He said it will be more interesting to see the combination of Messi and Ronaldo playing in one team now that they have achieved all that they wanted.<\/p>\n
