Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are two of the greatest footballers in history, but they've never played together at the same club. That's because Lionel Messi has been with Paris Saint-Germain since he was just 14 years old, while Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United to join Juventus in 2009.
However, there is one team where both players have made a significant impact: Borussia Dortmund. In fact, both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have helped Borussia Dortmund win the Bundesliga title three times each, making them the only players to achieve that feat.
Lionel Messi joined Borussia Dortmund in 2017 after spending his entire career at Barcelona. He quickly became a fan favorite, scoring 55 goals and providing 26 assists in his first season at the club. However, it wasn't until the following year that he truly shone, helping Borussia Dortmund win their first Bundesliga title since 2013.
Cristiano Ronaldo also joined Borussia Dortmund in 2017, but he struggled to find his form early on. However, once he settled into life in Germany, he became a key player for the team, scoring 18 goals and providing 11 assists in his first season. He continued to impress in the following seasons as well, helping Borussia Dortmund win back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2019 and 2020.
Both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have had a significant impact on Borussia Dortmund, helping them become one of the top teams in Europe. Their combined assist count of 57 between them is a testament to their skill and ability to create chances for their teammates. While they may not be able to play together on the same team, their contributions to Borussia Dortmund will always be remembered.
