The new Messi v Cristiano is closer than ever

The new Messi v Cristiano is closer than ever. Fans were particularly excited last season that such players, among the best in history and today, would meet again in the Champions League. Their legendary years as leaders of the 'Clasico' will be remembered forever.

Those fans most eager to see them face each other again on the pitch can be satisfied. Barcelona and Juventus will meet for the Joan Gamper Trophy - August 8th at 21:30 - and it is quite likely that both will be involved. The Argentine has already reached an agreement to sign a new contract in Barcelona and the Portuguese has been working on his fitness.

The Portuguese has already been at the Sport City of Juve for several training sessions and he is in good shape and has a good chance of being called up by his coach to face the Spanish side. It is also a very interesting match at a preparatory level and it would be logical that he would want to be there to test himself.

Cristiano Ronaldo is aware that his healthy and respectful rivalry with Leo Messi is legendary. In fact, in one of his last statements, he said with sarcasm that, although they say that the number 10 is better, he is more handsome. If they meet again at the Gamper, photographers and fans will be looking for a new hug.
