A stunning 90 million pounds All-Star game involving Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo was proposed and nearly went through. It was to happen at the home of English football, Wembley Stadium, in front of 90,000 people. Of course, it couldn’t happen in the regular season and so the match was scheduled to take place in the summertime every two years. The planned encounter is recalled in a new book titled, ‘Messi vs Ronaldo: One Rivalry, Two GOATs, and the Era That Remade the World’s Game’, The Sun writes. Just short of 100 million pounds was on the table, including bonuses, and it’s said that Bonnier, a former multi-millionaire, spoke to the representatives of both parties. Messi’s team would wear Adidas given his ties to them, while Ronaldo’s side would be decked out in a Nike strip. Bonnier wanted to make it a serious spectacle, featuring live performances, light shows, and a boxing fight to top it off. David Piper, a TV producer hired by the ambitious Bonnier, claimed it was «very close» to happening – but in the end, there were too many hurdles to overcome to make it happen. Incredibly, it’s claimed Real Madrid manager Florentino Perez was demanding a staggering sum of 21 million pounds for the participation of any of his players in the clash.
