Real Madrid’s  Cristiano Ronaldo  drops by Paris to watch his nemesis  Lionel Messi  play against PSG – and they have a Valentine’s Day drink together to show their mutual appreciation and forget their rivalry for once!

Ronaldo is just five shy of becoming the tournament’s first centurion but Messi has stormed back into contention by netting 10 times in five games When the season began, it seemed a foregone conclusion that Cristiano Ronaldo would become the first player to rack up 100 Champions League goals.
