Soccer fans expressed considerable excitement on Tuesday afternoon due to two legends of the sport meeting for potentially the final time. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo faced off during a match between Barcelona and Juventus. The two men were supposed to have a showdown in late October, but Ronaldo tested positive for COVID-19. He missed the match, which Barcelona won 2-0. Now fully healthy, he was able to return for the December matchup.
Before Tuesday’s match, the two generational superstars met each other on the pitch and shared a quick embrace. This moment created excitement among viewers considering that Ronaldo and Messi haven’t faced off since the 2010-11 Champions League semifinals. These fans finally had the opportunity to watch the two stars in action, and they celebrated the moment with a multitude of comments on social media.

Ronaldo v. Messi for possibly the last time ever and Weston McKennie, an American, scores in the first half with a great finish.
