Of course no where is that more prevalent than with opinions on Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, with the debate over the pair being on a seemingly endless loop.

The Dutch side knocked out Real in the last round, with a surprise comeback in Madrid, and will be buoyed by one of the greatest players of all time being missing.
Maybe next week someone will prove by Paolo Maldini wasn't that good at defending...probably not though, he was damn good!
