This is not the first time Louis Vuitton has successfully brought iconic players in one frame, fans recall the time when
Pele, Maradona, and Zinedine Zidane were featured in Louis Vuitton’s 2010 Core Values campaign.
Annie Leibovitz, who clicks Messi and Ronaldo in one frame, photographed these three legends jointly back in 2010.
With FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 kicking off in a few hours, the Ronaldo Messi duo successfully raised the temperature high by showing up together in a single frame.
