Manchester United and Portugal striker Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, has spoken out about a photo shoot for Louis Vuitton featuring Argentine Lionel Messi.
The famous photo shoot, Messi and Ronaldo play a chess game in front of a suitcase with a chessboard on its lid.
This will be my fifth world championship. I'm focused and I'm sure it will go well. Checkmate is what we do in life, not only in chess. I would like to be the one to checkmate Messi. We'll see, but it would be nice.
