Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo shelved their personal rivalry to combine for this brilliant snap during yesterday’s Clasico at the Nou Camp.
The best two players of their generation, and two of the greatest of all-time, have vied against each other for a host of records over the course of their glittering careers.
They did battle once again yesterday in the first Clasico of the season, but took a second to seemingly enjoy a joke while the eyes of the football world were on them.
Messi and Ronaldo have won the last eight Ballon d’Ors between them and were both in action as the Catalans took on Los Blancos.
Neither found the net on the day as Zinedine Zidane’s side maintained their six-point advantage at the top of La Liga thanks to late equaliser from Sergio Ramos.
Luis Suarez had fired Barca ahead on 53 minutes, glancing home Neymar’s left-wing free-kick to put his side in the ascendancy.
But, after Ronaldo had gone close, Ramos got his head to Luka Modric’s free-kick to earn a point for Real.
