Messi Instagram Story Showing Him Hugging Cristiano Ronaldo Goes Viral [Video]

Paris Saint-Germain superstar Lionel Messi has posted an Instagram story showing him and Cristiano Ronaldo hugging each other in Riyadh and fans are going wild in his comment section.

Ronaldo and Messi faced off in a friendly match on PSG’s tour to the Middle East. The Portuguese represented Riyadh All-Star XI, consisting of players from Saudi Arabian clubs Al Nassr and Al Hilal.

Ronaldo made the switch to Al Nassr in December last year after his contract with Manchester United was terminated by mutual consent. He has been made the world’s highest-paid footballer by the Saudi Arabian club.

The friendly match between PSG and Riyadh All-Star XI saw both the superstars of world football, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, get on the scoresheet.

PSG opened the scoring before the all-time top-scorer in men’s international football equalized for the home side.

PSG’s Juan Bernat was then sent off, but Marquinhos scored two minutes before half-time to restore the French giants’ lead. However, Ronaldo was on the mark yet again to equalize for his side and ensure both teams go into the break with a 2-2 scoreline.

Sergio Ramos and Jang Hyun-soo each scored a goal for their respective sides within 11 minutes of the restart, but PSG soon ran away with the game. Kylian Mbappe converted his spot-kick after Neymar had missed one, and Hugo Ekitike scored in the 78th minute to give his side a 5-3 lead.

Ronaldo on the other hand posted a picture of himself and Lionel Mesi together on his Instagram page after the friendly game on Thursday.
