Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have been at the top of the world of football for the past decade and it would be fascinating to know what they’d talk about if they ever went for dinner.
After being fierce rivals for so many years at Barcelona FC and Real Madrid, and now Juventus, the pair had a great time together at this year’s UEFA Player of the Year award event, despite neither of them winning.
At the ceremony, the two sat next to each other and shared jokes and laughs – and afterward, Cristiano was full of praise for his fellow rival.
“We have shared the stage 15 years. I don’t know if that’s happened before – the same two guys on the same stage all the time,” Ronaldo said.
“Of course, we have a good relationship. We haven’t had dinner together yet, but I hope in the future.
“We had that battle in Spain. I pushed him and he pushed me as well. So it’s good to be part of the history of football.”
“Yes, I don’t have any problem with that… We might not be friends because we’ve never shared a dressing room together but I always see him at award shows and there’s no problem.
“I don’t know if there will be dinner because I don’t know if our paths will cross for obvious reasons, each one of us has our own life and our own commitments. But obviously I would accept the invitation.”
However, that hasn’t happened yet, but Bleacher Report wants football fans to have a feel of an animated character of these football stars ahead of the much-anticipated dinner.
In the latest episode of a Champions League cartoon series, this exact scenario is played out. Bleacher Report’s ‘The Champions’ depicts the Argentine and Portuguese sharing a meal together at a restaurant owned by Eric Cantona.
The characters discuss Virgil van Dijk and the old debate of who is the best.
