Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have reached 1000 career goals combined following the Argentine's strike against Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

Messi netted the equaliser in Barcelona's 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid on Saturday - meaning that he and Ronaldo together have reached a huge milestone.

The pair have been long-time rivals, and while Ronaldo wins the battle in terms of goals, Messi trumps the Real Madrid star in terms of club trophies won, as well as possessing a better goals-per-game ratio.

Messi also won the Ballon d'Or for the fifth time in his career earlier in January, while Ronaldo has won the award three times so far.
