A day before the opening of the World Cup in Qatar, the two superstars of the global soccer world joined forces and created an iconic image, which is driving the internet crazy.
Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo freaked out the networks when they teamed up for a joint campaign for the super brand, "Louis Vuitton" as they appear to be playing chess against each other.
According to estimates alone, "Louis Vuitton" spent between 15 and 20 million dollars just for the photo shoot, and apart from the replica sums that the two pocketed just to sit down and play chess against each other, they came out profitable with hundreds of thousands more followers - something that will of course put in their pockets yet A little rustling.

So at least according to the reports, from the moment the photo was published, the photo in question has already become the fourth most popular photo in Instagram history when only 5 hours after it went live, the photo managed to rake in over 39 million likes!
And if that's not enough, only the flea has added another million loyal followers!
It also appears from the photo taken in New York by the famous photographer Annie Leibovitz, that the suitcase that holds the chessboard used by Messi and Ronaldo in the picture, is actually a replica of the suitcase that held the World Cup in the 2018 World Cup that was hoisted by the French team.
In one word: wow.
Victory is a State of Mind.

Also, sharp-eyed surfers were able to notice that the arrangement on the board is an exact copy of the chess game between the two chess legends - Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura from 2017.
