Cordial but cold - Ronaldo and Messi's handshake

After just over two years without playing against each pther, Ronaldo and Messi's paths crossed once more on a football pitch. It was in the friendly game between Riyadh Season and PSG.

The Saudi Arabia all-star side, made up of players from Al Hilal and Al Nassr, had the Portugeuse star with them, as he recently joined the club owned by Prince Faisal Bin Turki.

There was a lot of expectation placed on this match where the two main dominators of world football were going to face off. There were even people who paid close to €3 million for a ticket.

Ronaldo, who was already in the tunnel, seemed very pleasant with his ex-Madrid teammates, like Ramos and Nava, and his 'hello' to Messi took place just before the tie started. The Madeira man saw him and did not hesitate to offer his hand, but it was very cold.
