The last dance, Messi and Cristiano will face each other again and see when

The rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo added an important chapter after France Football awarded the Argentine his eighth Ballon d'Or on October 30. CR7 had declared at the time that his goal was to be the player who won the award the most times, but La Pulga was already three ahead of him and the Portuguese was no longer able to win the award. Now, after the recent ceremony in Paris, the Al-Nassr forward was against the awards given to Rosario.

Firstly, he commented with laughing emojis and liked a post that claimed that Messi not only did not deserve this Ballon d'Or, but neither did the other two previous ones. Later that same day, he got involved with the Al-Ettifaq fans after they shouted for Lionel. What did Cristiano do? He pointed to himself and raised his index finger towards the sky, implying that he is number 1, and then he ordered the audience to silence. As if that were not enough, Ronaldo's sister, Kátia, also commented on an Instagram post with CR7 trophies and the message “earned, not given".

This goes hand in hand with other attitudes of the '7' in the past, such as when he commented the famous phrase "facts" in a post that placed him above the captain of the Argentine National Team. Now, Messi and Cristiano would face each other once again after the Portuguese's recent complaint to have their last big battle about the end of their careers in Saudi Arabia.

In the last few hours it was announced that there are "strong possibilities" that Inter Miami will be invited to the Riyadh Season Cup, a friendly cup that is held in the Middle East and that precisely marked the last meeting between Leo and Cristiano, when PSG faced a team made up of footballers from Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal.
