Barcelona captain Lionel Messi sent Christiano Ronaldo a heartfelt message ahead of the Juventus versus Barcelona match next week.
Talking about the possibility of him facing Ronaldo again, Messi said, "The Clásicos with Cristiano were and are a special duel which will remain forever. The fans of Real, Barca, but in general all football fans have seen a great show. We hope to give them more emotions."
"Wednesday there could be this challenge. We hope that Cristiano can be there and will soon recover from Covid." He continued to say.
This points to a warming of the relationship between the two world class players.
Although their rivalry was not outrightly hostile during classicos, it was hard for the pair to be on friendly terms when they played for such fierce rivals in Spain and both wanted to beat the other's team so badly.
