Who would win in a Nike vs Adidas match? Messi and Salah vs Ronaldo and Mbappe...

Nike or Adidas? Adidas or Nike? The two sportswear giants are constantly duelling it out at the top of the commercial ladder, but who leads the way when it comes to the footballers endorsing them?

Planet Sport picks the best XI both brands can turn out and takes an educated guess at to who would come out on top in a head to head between Adidas and Nike. Spoiler alert - we still don't get to see Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the same team…

Alisson Becker - Liverpool's shot-stopper gets the spot between the sticks for the Nike XI.

World Cup winner Hugo Lloris was in contention, but Liverpool's Brazilian star has shone in recent seasons, and is arguably the best goalkeeper in the world at the minute.

Joao Cancelo - Manchester City's Portuguese full-back is usually deployed on the left flank, but he's had to make do on the right for Nike's all-star XI.

Cancelo has thrived under Pep Guardiola, showing his ability to both defend and create for the Citizens, registering an impressive seven assists from defence this season.

Virgil van Dijk - The best centre-back in the world slots nicely into Nike's defence, and is even a contender to be captain of the side.

Ruben Dias - Manchester City struck gold when signing Dias in 2020, with the Portuguese centre-back helping to fill the void left by Vincent Kompany at the Etihad Stadium.

Andy Robertson - Rounding off the all-Premier League defence is Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson, who has propelled himself to stardom after moving to Anfield for just £8million back in 2017.

With Liverpool and Manchester City way out in front in the Premier League this season, Nike should feel safe with a backline made solely from these two sides.

Luka Modric - Four-time Champions League winner.
