5 world records jointly shared by Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi 

#2 Most FIFPro World XI appearances

Ronaldo and Messi have been on the FIFPro World XI team on more occasions than any other players

Having rivalled each other for the better part of the last decade, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have made it to the list in each of the last 11 FIFPro World XI team.

The two have been named in the FIFPro World XI since 2007 as recognition for their impressive and unmatched performances on the field.

Their record now stands at 11 consecutive appearances in the team of the year. In fact, no other players have been able to get close that this feat chalked by Ronaldo and Messi and this shared record will take a very long time if it is ever to be broken.

In terms of consistency, the pair has continued to defy the odds despite both currently being in their 30s.
