Recently, a video has been surfacing on social media platforms, showcasing Vietnamese fans cheerfully reenacting Lionel Messi's iconic moment of lifting the FIFA World Cup 2022 in a theatre in front of an audience.
The participants donned masks of the players who stood alongside Messi during the trophy lift. One fan expertly portrayed Messi by wearing a similar black robe and a Messi mask. He even mimicked the famous Ric Flair walk, perfectly capturing the spirit of the moment before lifting the trophy and celebrating with his fellow teammates.
The second part of the video reveals an interesting twist, especially for Ronaldo's fans. One of the participants, dressed in a Portugal number 7 jersey and sporting a Ronaldo mask, expressed his frustration by slamming a bottle to the floor as Messi celebrated the World Cup victory with his teammates on stage.
The Act is representative of the eternal rivalry that exists between two of the greatest footballing talents of the generation.
The two footballing legends share a total of 13 Ballon d'Or and 9 UEFA Champions League awards between them.
Messi added the trophy sitting at the pinnacle of world football, aka FIFA World Cup, to his cabinet in December 2022 when Argentina defeated France in the finals at Qatar in a close penalty shootout.
Lionel Messi showed his class in the 2022 footballing extravaganza and was awarded the best player of the tournament. He scored 7 goals and assisted thrice.
Fans reactions to the video
Some fans complimented the act play and even acknowledged Messi as having a great sense of how to celebrate. Some fans also revealed that the twist at the end of the video portraying Cristiano Ronaldo was hilarious and drew funny emoticons from many commenters.
