WATCH: Lionel Messi stares down a kid trying to get a selfie holding a Cristiano Ronaldo jersey

Argentinian maestro, Lionel Messi got triggered by a young fan and refused to take a picture with him because he was holding a Cristiano Ronaldo shirt. While strolling around the streets in Miami, a gathering of people came rushing in to capture a photo with the star 

Among many fans, a young kid went up to Lionel Messi with his long rival Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr t-shirt. In response to the young kid’s humorous action or subjecting Ronaldo’s jersey towards his face, Messi stared down the kid instead of taking a selfie with him. However, the young fan took a snap of the humorous linkup. The clip quickly went viral all over social media with fans reacting.

As of now, Lionel Messi is playing with Inter Miami. Messi joined the MLS side at the start of the season from PSG with a contract deal for two and a half seasons. Since his joining in August, he helped Inter Miami to win the Leagues Cup.

Messi has brought his influence and experience of European football into the David Beckham-owned club. It has brought a fresh new spirit to the squad contributing to the team’s success silverware-wise. However, Miami couldn’t qualify for the playoffs as they finished 14th in the Eastern Conference.

Lionel Messi’s former manager speaks highly of Cristiano Ronaldo

Former PSG manager, Christophe Galtier says Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world. Before this, he also coached Lionel Messi who loved to the US after a rather underwhelming stint in France.

This is what Messi’s 57-year-old former manager stated after his side, Al-Duhail was beated by Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr:

What he did is extraordinary for a 38-year-old. He's still the best player in the world.

This revelation highlights Cristiano Ronaldo’s hard work and achievement even at his age. Currently, the Portuguese tops the scoring charts this season, stacking a total of 17 goals in 17 games in the Saudi Pro League for his Riyadh-based club.

Meanwhile, Lionel Messi is spectated to win his 8th Ballon d’Or. The live ceremony is to take place on Monday. As the new season progresses, fans and football enthusiasts will be keeping a very keen eye on their two much-cherished footballing icons.
