In a recent interview, both players were asked how they would want to be remembered at the end of their respective careers.

Messi told Unisport:

"In the end, everyone will remember and think of you what they want - and they're free to do so.
"Well, I don't think I've done anything decisive to achieve success or win titles. It comes when God decides and chooses, there's no fixed time."

CR7 was recently made an ambassador with Livescore and while speaking during official unveiling as their global brand ambassador, he was asked the same question.

Ronaldo told Livescore

"I hope that I will be remembered as one of the great players, someone that worked hard, that always did his best to help his team and will be part of the history of the game."
