Messi and Cristiano were next to each other at the UEFA Awards in Monaco!

The two were in the final for the title of 'Best Footballer of the Year', alongside Dutchman Van Dijk. The Liverpool defender won. Cristiano and Leo were happy to say goodbye. "I divided the scene for 15 souls, I don't know if that will ever happen again," Ronaldo said, then sending Messi an invitation to dinner.

"It was a fantastic season for me, and at the club level, and with the national team. I am pleased with what I have achieved. I shared the stage with Leo for 15 years, I do not know if this has ever happened in football like this, It's not easy. I didn't have a dinner together, but I hope this will happen in the future. I miss playing in Spain. Messi challenged me through his achievements and challenged him to be better at what I did.

He's younger than me, I`m looking good for my age. I hope to be here and in a year, and in 2, and in 3. Those who do not like me, will see me here and from now on, "said Ronaldo.

"I feel good to be here. These two guys have done pretty good things over the last few years, so ... what can I say? I'm proud to be with them," Van Dijk commented with a smile.
