An ad for French fashion brand Louis Vuitton was shot by Annie Leibovitz and features Messi andRonaldo playing chess on a Louis Vuitton briefcase.

According to data compiled by social media tracking firm NewsWhip, the account had attracted more than 1.9 million interactions, including over 1.7 million likes and over 215,000 retweets.

The image was shared by both Messi andRonaldo on social media, with Messi's post amassing more than 30 million likes.

The second most popular message over the past week was from Musk, who said "Twitter is ALIVE" late Saturday night, and the third most popular message was from West, whose account was restricted after he made anti-semetic comments.

NewsWhip says that Musk was responsible for five of the eight most popular posts.

The billionaire posted a poll asking users if to restore former President Donald Trump's account and got more than 233,000 votes compared to just over 215,000 for theRonaldo-Messi chess match.

The image was shared on the eve of the World Cup, which is expected to be the last one featuring both Messi andRonaldo. The two are considered to be among the greatest handful of soccer players of all time, while their similar ages and high levels of performance have led to a seemingly endless debate about which player is the best of his generation. The rivalry has remained despite the fact that both players shattered goal scoring records during their time in Spain.

Surprising Fact

Both Messi andRonaldo won their first continental titles with their national teams, but neither have won a World Cup. Argentina's Lionel Messi and Portugal'sRonaldo both won the European Championship.

What We Don’t Know

After Portugal's World Cup run comes to an end, it's not known whereRonaldo will play. After the forward berated the organization's management in an interview last week, he and Manchester United decided to part ways.

Tangent

Musk is promoting the World Cup on his social media accounts. The first World Cup match will take place on Sunday. Best coverage and real-time commentary can be found on the social networking site.
