In those times, he and Ronaldo led the Real Madrid attack against Messi's Barcelona. His time with Ronaldo was a true success as he clinched both the La Liga and Copa Del Rey titles.
Although the striker had linked up with the Portuguese superstar since 2009 when he signed for Los Blancos, he later joined Messi in the Argentina squad and was part of the team that led the Abiceleste to the World Cup final in 2014.
Even though he stopped sharing the dressing room with Ronaldo when he left Real Madrid for Italian side Napoli in 2013, he still shares time with his Argentinian counterpart in the Argentina dressing room.

Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi is his favorite player and is the one true GOAT for him over Cristiano Ronaldo.
