Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi used to lock horns in La Liga before Ronaldo quit Real Madrid for Juventus last summer.

Yesterday Barcelona posted a tweet with Messi's name spelt out with emojis of goats – the symbol for ‘the greatest of all time'.

Ronaldo fanatics hijacked the tribute by posting pro-Ronaldo emojis and posts of their own.

Pic, replied one fan.

“You've spelt Ronaldo incorrectly,” added another.

“The real (goat) is #Cr7 @Cristiano we shouldn't argue about this for sure,” tweeted a third.

Barcelona paid tribute to their star man Lionel Messi on Twitter “Cristiano Ronaldo fans trolled Barcelona's Lionel Messi ‘goat' Twitter post”.

Messi will be in action for Barcelona away at Girona this weekend.
