How do Cristiano Ronaldo & Lionel Messi NEW home lives compare?

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have dominated world football over the past two decades, with the stars scoring more than 1,500 career goals and lifting 74 trophies between them.

The rivalry has been a key talking point in the sport too, with it at its fiercest from 2009 to 2018 when the pair played for Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively.

They were regularly trading blows in the race for the Ballon d'Or, with Messi's win in the 2023 edition taking his tally to eight, which exceeds Ronaldo's five.

Along with their supremacy in the upper echelons of European football, they have also both switched their surroundings for pastures new in a supposedly lesser league over the past year.

Ronaldo, 38, joined Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr at the end of 2022 after his acrimonious departure from Man United, while Messi, 36, moved on from PSG to join David Beckham's MLS franchise Inter Miami in the summer.

But how are the pair settling in to their new homes, and what are their lifestyles like?

Since Messi joined Inter Miami in July, the Argentine World Cup winner has acclimatised effortlessly, with 11 goals and five assists in just 14 games as he has sprinkled stardust and firepower to the previously beleaguered MLS outfit.

Off the field, the adaptation has been just as smooth, with Messi - who is set to earn $54million-per-year (£44m-per-year) - spotted with his family within days of his arrival out and about in Miami.

Along with his wife Antonela and their three sons Mateo, Thiago and Ciro, he was seen grocery shopping at US supermarket chain Publix, with cereals such as General Mills' Lucky Charms and Kellogg's' Fruit Loops even in the family's shopping basket.

He was also quickly swarmed by supporters when trying a sneaky exit
