Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been photographed together playing chess for a Louis Vuitton ad ahead of Qatar 2022.
Louis Vuitton posted this historical photo with the caption below:
"Victory is a State of Mind. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi captured by Annie Leibovitz for Louis Vuitton. In addition to a long tradition of crafting trunks for the world’s most coveted sporting trophies, the Maison celebrates two of the most talented football players today."
In the image, which was snapped by American portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz, the two icons are playing a game of chess on top of two Louis Vuitton cases.
With Ronaldo aged 37 and Messi 35, both players could be appearing in their last World Cup.
