Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the two greatest goal scorers of the modern era - and possibly of all time.

Both superstars have netted over 700 times throughout the course of their careers, numbers that will likely never be replicated again.

As well as scoring for fun themselves, Messi and Ronaldo have unsurprisingly both been part of the most prolific duos in the 21st century.

In fact, one or the other feature in nine of the 10 greatest goalscoring partnerships in an individual season since the turn of the millennium.

But only one has achieved the almost superhuman feat of being part of a 100-goal double act.

Below, you'll find a list of the top 30 most prolific duos in the 21st century, with all data sourced from Transfermarkt.

The Football Terrace: The European Super League may be over, but the Champions League still needs reform...

Messi and Suarez, take a bow.

A strike partnership scoring 100 goals in just one season is absolutely outrageous, a level of prolificacy that won't be matched for decades - if ever.
