For more than a decade, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have dominated Europe's footballing landscape. They play for two European powerhouses, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, and both players are among the highest-paid athletes in the world.
According to Forbes, Lionel Messi was the highest-paid athlete last year, earning $130 million (£110 million) in pre-tax gross earnings. Whereas Messi and NBA superstar LeBron James have $121.2 million (£102 million), Ronaldo has $115 million (£97 million).

Who is the world's richest footballer?
Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar may be the highest earners, but their net worth is far below that of the world's richest footballer. Faiq Bolkiah, the Prince of Brunei's son, is the richest footballer on the planet, with an estimated net worth of $20 billion (£16.9 billion).
Bolkiah Faiq
The Brunei national team captain comes from one of the world's wealthiest families. His father, Jefri Bolkiah, is the Prince of Brunei, and his uncle, Hassanal, is the country's Sultan or monarch.
The 24-year-old spent his formative years at Southampton, Chelsea, and Leicester City academies. He joined Maritimo in Portugal in 2020 after failing to find a place in senior squads with Premier League clubs. He joined Chonburi in Thailand after spending a year there. He has made 14 appearances in the Thai league and has four assists.
Bolkiah has made six appearances for his country and scored once.
