MONACO, FRIDAY — An unusual moment was captured by cameras during the Champions League group stage draw in Monaco, which ended on early Friday (30/8/2019), Western Indonesian time. Two soccer superstars, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, were seen talking as if they were close friends on the front-row seats of the event.Before the moment the two superstars, whose likeness were immortalized in the “Like the Gods” exhibition at the St Petersburg Art Museum in Russia, had never talked to one another when they appeared together. Their decade-long fierce competition to be Europe’s and the world’s best soccer player had somewhat turned their relationship cold.

However, things were seemingly warm between the two during the draw. Both were seen perplexed and joking about the speech by Manchester United legend Eric Cantona, who was awarded the 2019 UEFA presidential award. “As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods, they kill us for their sport,” Cantona said in his speech.
