Lionel Messi lit up social media for nutmegging two of his team-mates – Luis Suarez and Javier Mascherano – during training, but the Argentine now faces competition in the form of rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese, during a casual session of rondos ahead of Saturday’s all-important Madrid derby at home to Atletico, was caught on camera nutmegging Raphael Varane.

Watch it happen in the video below.
