We first take a look at how Messi can fit into the Madrid team

1.MESSI AT REAL MADRID
 If  Lionel Messi gets a chance to play for Madrid today he will walk straight into the First team and will likely occupy the right side of the attack in the usual 4-3-3 formation accustomed with real Madrid with bale moving to the left side assuming Ronaldo is already at Barcelona .
 So how does this little magician cope with the style of play of Real Madrid and how does he form a Partnership with other players already at the club.

Real Madrid's Style of Play

• Take a lot of shots
• Attack through the middle
• Attempt through balls often
• Short passes
• Possession football
• Rotate their first eleven
• Non-aggressive
• Opponents play aggressively against them

 With a front three of Bale, Benzema  and Messi , we have a BBM from the formal BBC with this formation Madrid will win more matches than they use to win with the previous BBC especially against teams that sits behind and form bodies behind the ball, one area Messi is better than Ronaldo and the other front two of Bale and Benzema is his dribbling accuracy, he will attract more fouls because of these in dangerous areas and win more penalties than Ronaldo the partnership will also be something that can be relied upon for the next few years with the fact that Messi is two years younger than Ronaldo. Bale and Benzema will also score more goals as Messi creates more chances for this teammates and generally bring them more into play than Ronaldo as we had seen for a few seasons now with Suarez and Neymar
2. RONALDO AT BARCELONA
  If Ronaldo also gets a transfer to Barcelona he will walk straight into the Barcelona attack in the usual 4-3-3 formation and will form a deadly partnership with Suarez and Neymar 
So how will Ronaldo cope with Barcelona style of play

 BARCELONA STYLE OF PLAY

Attacking down the wings	Very Strong
Creating chances through individual skill	Strong
Creating scoring chances	Strong
Shooting from direct free kicks	Strong
Attacking set pieces	Strong

- Weaknesses

Aerial duels	Weak
Avoiding individual errors	Weak
Stopping opponents from creating chances	Weak
Defending against skillful players	Weak
Avoiding offside	Very Weak

Barcelona's Style of Play

• Short passes
• Control the game in the opposition's half
• Attack through the middle
• Possession football
• Attempt through balls often
• Rotate their first eleven
• Opponents play aggressively against them

 As stated above Barcelona loves short passing game which we refer to now as tiki taka and loves to control the ball in the opposition half striving the opposition of the ball Ronaldo will bring more goals to this Barcelona team than they use to get when Messi was in the team because he takes more risks than Messi and has more hunger for goals than Messi albeit disrupting the passage of the free flow passing game that Barcelona are know for because most time he will try taking his chance even when the passing game is still supposed to be in motion thereby scoring more goals .

 There is also likely to be a decrease in the number of goals both Suarez and Neymar contributes to the team because of the more direct approach of Rolando than Messi which will see Ronaldo score the bulk of the goals for Barcelona.

CONCLUSION

 We think a direct swap of Messi and Ronaldo will benefit Real Madrid the more giving the fact that Messi still has a more years at the top than Ronaldo and he can adapt more to Real playing style compare to Ronaldo adapting to Barcelona style at Madrid.
