Superstar footballers Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have brought the whole world to a stunt after posting a photo of themselves together posing for designers brand, Louis Vuitton on their respective official social media accounts.
Both football and non-football fans world are reacting strongly to the image that has gone viral, with many writing in the comments area to share their joy at seeing the two greatest players of all time together.
Ronaldo and Messi each won the Ballon d’Or 12 times between 2008 and 2021. Although Messi leads the Ballon d’Or race, having won it 7 times and Ronaldo 5 times.
At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Ronaldo and Messi will represent Portugal and Argentina, respectively.
Unlike Ronaldo, Messi is a very different person, as he prefers to keep low profile and shades away from the media. Messi prefers not to drag too much attention to himself.
Ronaldo has been on all media and news headlines, but this time not for scoring goals and breaking records. This it’s because of a viral interview with Piers who got everyone talking, as Ronaldo poured out his heart to the entire World.
Also in that meeting Ronaldo made some statements many deemed as inappropriate as he mentioned that he doesn’t have respect for his coach, although United are yet to make an official statement, there are growing rumors that he might not return to the club after the world cup.
Here are some reactions from social media users:

This shouldn’t come as a surprise because in a recent interview, Ronaldo had praised Messi, his greatest rival.
Ronaldo and Messi, who have competed intensely for individual honours and club trophies throughout their careers, have dominated European football for over a decade now.
The two are recognized as two of football’s all-time greats, and many people think they are both equally deserving of the title of the G.O.A.T.
Many football fans have believed that the two do not get along. But Ronaldo claimed, their relationship is more akin to that of a teammate.
