Cristiano Ronaldo won't like what Gary Lineker has said about him.

The Real Madrid superstar has endured an alarming dip in form this campaign following his heroics last season. He steered his side to domestic and European glory, winning the La Liga title and the Champions League.

But, this term, things aren't going so well for Ronaldo and co.

The defending Spanish champions are well behind league leaders Barcelona, and finished second to Spurs in their Champions League group, subsequently pairing up with Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16.

Amidst Real Madrid's miserable season, Barcelona are flying high with Lionel Messi producing brilliance.

So, the age-old question has resurfaced; Ronaldo or Messi?

And Lineker has weighed in. He was asked: "Ronaldo or Messi?"

"I like Cristiano a lot, but Messi is from another world," the Match of the Day host replied via ESPN.

He was then quizzed again: "Ronaldo or Neymar?"

"Neymar is the future, [although] Cristiano has been very, very good. Neymar is a great player. I like him a lot."

Before sharing his thoughts on Real Madrid's slump.

"I don't know what happened with Madrid this season. Last year, they won almost everything.

"It is difficult to understand. Maybe it is because their players are a bit older now. But they are a different team this year

Ronaldo and Neymar go head-to-head next week. Real Madrid host PSG on Valentine's Day in the tie of the round.
