Ronaldo and Messi have both been in exceptional form for their respective clubs in recent seasons - and the pair's goalscoring records are spectacular, but it would seem Messi - has had more to celebrate at the moment with Barcelona claiming the Treble in Season 1 of 2011.
The Argentinian maestro also claimed the inaugural FIFA Ballon d'Or earlier this month, while Ronaldo missed out on the final shortlist - though he did retain his place in the FIFA World XI.
But despite missing out on recent individual awards, Ronaldo says he holds no ill-feeling towards Messi and insists that he is solely focused on his own target of winning silverware with Real this season.
I don't have an obsession or a direct rivalry with Messi," Ronaldo told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "I feel the same way about other players. But, one thing is certain: I want to be the best of all footballers.
"I don't envy Messi at all. My priority is to win La Liga and the Champions League with Real Madrid, not Ballon d'Or awards."
