Barca and Real will both play at home against Sporting and Dortmund. This is an opportunity for the duo Messi and Ronaldo to increase their scoring record in the group stage.
In terms of form, Ronaldo is outperforming Messi in the Champions League. The Portuguese star is leading the list of top scorers with eight goals after the group stage matches. Meanwhile, Messi has only scored three goals.
The four players behind Ronaldo in this season's Champions League are Harry Kane (Tottenham), Ben Yedder (Sevilla), Cavani and Neymar (PSG), with six goals each.
If he can take Messi's record, this will be a special gift for Ronaldo before the Golden Ball gala on December 7. Ronaldo is considered the number one candidate for this title.
