For all of the speculation about the relationship between the consensus two best players on the planet, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, there was a heartwarming moment between the two during Monday's Ballon d'Or gala. Cristiano Ronaldo urges his son Cristiano Jr., who also joined him at the podium after Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or, to go say hello to Messi. Messi says hello and asks his rival's son how he's doing, while Ronaldo shouts toward Messi, "He watched a video on the Internet about us and he talks about you," then implores his son, "Don't be embarrassed now!" Regardless of whether the two always-talked-about rivals actually do like each other, it was a classy moment shared between them and little Ronaldo.
