The most famous namesakes in world football are going head-to-head in FIFA 18.

After Cristiano Ronaldo was announced as the cover star for EA SPORTS FIFA 18 earlier this week, the original Ronaldo has revealed he'll also be on a limited-edition cover of the world's biggest football game.

While Cristiano will front the 'Ronaldo Edition', it looks like R9 will be the poster boy of the 'Icon Edition', celebrating the arrival of 'icons' (formerly known as Legends) to PlayStation 4 and PC, as well as Xbox One.

Announcing the news on Instagram, R9 said:

"Two Ronaldos are better than one! Excited to be part of #FIFA18 with @cristiano"

The Brazilian Ronaldo was the deadliest player of his generation. He won the Ballon d'Or twice, was named FIFA World Player of the Year three times, won the Golden Boot on his way to winning the World Cup with Brazil in 2002 and played for the likes of FC Barcelona, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

Legendary.
