In their first-ever collaborative commercial, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi represent the upscale clothing line, Louis Vuitton.
The two players appear to have traded the football field for a checkered suitcase and are now playing a more intellectual game of chess after dominating talks over who the greatest footballer of all time is.
Uncertain of the outcome of the chess game, Messi, 35, announced the paid collaboration on Instagram with the following caption: Victory is a mental state, they say.
Both players are presently preparing for the World Cup in Qatar, but there are concerns about their condition, particularly Lionel Messi's, who is currently exercising alone away from his club.
Considering that Ronaldo, 37, missed their preseason encounter against Nigeria on Thursday due to a stomach ailment, doubts about his health are also being raised.
Whether you support Messi or Ronaldo, there is no denying that both players are among the most decorated in football today. Ronaldo holds the record for most goals scored with 807 in his illustrious career.
The Argentinian genius, who has won seven Ballon d'Or awards to Ronaldo's five, isn't far behind him and currently holds the top spot.
While the former Barcelona great won more Spanish championships during his stint in La Liga, Ronaldo has more European crowns.
Although there may never be a clear winner for the title of greatest ever chess player, it is obvious that both players hold each other in high regard and that they have given us some amazing matches throughout the years.
Ronaldo shed some interesting light on their connection during his contentious interview with Piers Morgan, calling Messi "magic."
Amazing player [Messi] is magic, he declared. Imagine that we have shared the stage for 16 years as a group. We combine. I, therefore, get along well with him.
"I'm not his friend in the traditional sense; by a friend, I mean the person who spoke on the phone with you while you were with him in your home. However, he is more like a teammate."
