Rivalries are ubiquitous in the world of sports, but few have been as remarkable as the 15-year rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi from 2004-2019. The Rivalry depicts this record-breaking battle between the two best attacking players of this century. It "paints" Ronaldo and Messi using performance data converted into graphs, charts, maps, and tables, and with the trophies they each won. The picture tells the story of their extraordinary careers, individually and in comparison, and is a reminder of how lucky we have been to see them play. It displays the two players in opposition, but holding on to the same ball symbolizing their shared love for the game.
