Cristiano Ronaldo met Thierry Henry
Prior to the kickoff between the Premier League teams Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspurs, during the warm-up, Thierry Henry was graced with a professional hug from none other than Cristiano Ronaldo who was behind him practicing. Their respectful meeting has stirred up many past memories in bits and pieces.
Seems like the two greats have ‘buried the hatchet’ and moved on along with their last remaining years in the world of Football. A fragrance of wonderful sportsmanship was witnessed among the two who have had an unfortunate history of disagreement.
Leaving the hard part, it now seems like the two have nothing but respect for each other, and that has definitely translated into calming their fans down, who have immeasurably fought each other for over a decade for their idols and bouncing between who’s right or wrong.
Thierry Henry’s long-standing disagreement with Cristiano Ronaldo
The Arsenal great and the Portuguese star were not peers, the disagreement and a little friction between the two have always been there. Be it the frivolous fights between their clubs or off-the-field conversations where they had to mention each other inadvertently, mostly the case with Henry as he developed a liking for the mic quite too soon.
In 2016, while handing out the prestigious Ballon d’Or trophy to CR7, His unsatisfied face made it to the headlines as he was there with his head facing down while the Portuguese star made his victory speech. On several occasions when he was asked the inevitable question about Lionel Messi and CR7, he always had a perfect bend towards the Argentine.
The rivalry or sort of a tussle began when they met each other for the first time during a burning match between the Red Devils and the Gunners where they went head to head over a tackle and the Portuguese went on to score the winner for his team.
