Cristiano Ronaldo took a break from his best-of-enemies routine with Lionel Messi to urge his son to walk up and speak to the Argentina ace just before the Ballon d’Or bash. The duo were minutes away from going head to head to see who would be crowned the world's best player at the awards ceremony in Zurich, Switzerland.
