However, the rivalry between them lost it's strength when one of them (Cristiano Ronaldo) left Real Madrid for Juventus and ever since their last clash since 2018, both have never had the chance to play against each other. So the feeling of the El classico was expected to come back to screen when both players team are found in the same UEFA Champions League group in the group stage. The duo's first meeting would have been during the last Barcelona Vs Juventus clash where Barcelona went to Italy and steal 3 points from their opponent but it was alleged that Cristiano was exposed to coronavirus and this made him miss the match.

This time around, the duo's meeting is certain and the fans are already having the throwback feeling of El Classico. Though the two sides have already gotten what they need to qualify to the next round, it's believed that tonight's match might be taken serious either because of the fight for the top position or a chance to once again show who the best is between the Argentine and the Portuguese.
