This week’s edition of France Football magazine is already causing a stir on social media. All because the cover is illustrated with a drawing of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi kissing on the mouth and with a question: “Are you Messi or Ronaldo?”.
The idea of the French magazine, which goes to newsstands this Tuesday, is inspired by the famous fraternal kiss between the communist leaders of the Cold War, Leonidas Brezhnev (USSR) and Erich Honecker (GDR), in 1979. A photograph that became famous and gave rise to a mural in 1989, with the fall of the Berlin Wall, by Russian artist Dimitri Vrúbel.
The work of France Football is one more about who is after all the best player in the world, at a time when the rivalry between the two great football stars completes 10 years. “For ten years they’ve made football lovers’ hearts beat, enough to spark passions and discussions,” could be read in the online version of the French magazine, which heard the opinions of several former football stars, Stoitchkov cases, Papin, Carragher, Robben, Marco Tardelli and Philipp Lahm.
