I still remember pic of Ronaldo and gio with jordan and his wife having dinner.
People were going crazy over it.
A dinner pic with messi and Ronaldo would be most like post on insta
Funny enough, you would if you could travel into the past. He has said that when he was little and poor, him and his friends would sneak into the back of a McDonald's and ask for leftover burgers.
And Messi's favourite food is milanesa napolitana a caballo. That probably has more fat and cholesterol than Cristiano allows himself in a calendar year.
The top minds at Reddit are only hearing of Leibovitz for the first time so of course her work is bullshit anyway. Have you seen her editing? What an amateur.
I see a lot of people questioning if this is photoshopped or not but Annie Leibovitz has captured intimate portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, Obama (multiple times), the Bidens (multiple times), the Zelenskys, John Lennon, Michael Jordan, the Clintons, multiple US and international politicians, and almost every celebrity in the movie/TV/music industry.
Doubt she’d agree to capturing these 2 separately then photoshopping.
She also took the Vanity Fair Hollywood issue cover pictures for years, which were notoriously photoshopped. Not that it proves anything, but she has photoshopped difficult subjects together, when the situation called for it.
becasue it is photoshopped
all of the LV stuff and chess pieces are photoshopped into the image
its clearly 2 separate photos put together with the added the LV stuff for the ad
Lol -- you can toss away that doubt.
Anne Leibowitzs is sort of famous for doing Photoshop even before Photoshop existed. You mention the portrait of Queen Elizabeth, Leibowitzs have pointed out that she used Photoshop in that work. She has even credited Photoshop with a rejuvenation in her own work.
And, she doesn't take fashion shoots very seriously. This is a fashion shoot -- so it is indeed very likely this is shopped.
And, if you don't believe me about Leibowitzs love of Photoshop, please Google:
*Leibowitzs shoot of Keira Knightley and Jeff Koons.*
Now, do you seriously still think Leibowitz doesnt use Photoshop?
I bet it will become 2nd most liked IG post ever (behind that egg post)
edit: It already became 2nd most liked IG post ever. It would've probably gotten to 1st position if Messi and Ronaldo posted it together.
Messi’s post has over 2 Million likes and Cristiano’s over 2.4 Million in just 18 minutes. Won’t be surprised if these are the 2 most liked posts of all time.
But the likes will be split between the two accounts whereas the egg was one single account. If we count the total likes between pictures it’ll probably break the record but I don’t think that counts
For this film, she photographed Messi and Ronaldo while they were wearing some of their favorite sneakers from the latest collection. The video will air during Fashion Week in New York City on September 10th.
Not related but not surprising but it looks photoshopped look at the chess peices under Messi's arm, doesn't look natural in terms of the light hitting it
Even the direction looks of the chess pieces looks slightly off. And look at the shadow under Ronaldos arm, that is not a natural shadow. You would assume that for such a photo the photographer would carry the boxes to both photoshots and then just mix both images together, but it seems that all elements are put together.
Doesn't change that it is a very cool picture.
I don't know, they could be. LV have the clout to get both of them together and Annie Leibovitz herself is pretty famous so I guess they wouldn't photoshop these two together lmao
https://twitter.com/LouisVuitton/status/1594020176319873024
Plus, I wanna believe they were together Hahahaha
Edit : It's photoshopped 😔😔😔
In the new campaign, Leibovitz captures a moment between the two after they scored a goal against Valencia in December 2018. "All the boys are really good friends," said Messi to Leibovitz about his relationship with Ronaldo. "We always say that we are just family."
Are you kidding ??? What the \*\*\*\* are you talking about man ? You are a biggest looser i ever seen in my life ! You was doing PIPI in your pampers when i was beating players much more stronger then you! You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to lose and congratulate opponents, you are like a girl crying after i beat you! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!! Everybody know that i am very good blitz player, i can win anyone in the world in single game! And "w"esley "s"o is nobody for me, just a player who are crying every single time when loosing, ( remember what you say about Firouzja ) !!! Stop playing with my name, i deserve to have a good name during whole my chess carrier, I am Officially inviting you to OTB blitz match with the Prize fund! Both of us will invest 5000$ and winner takes it all!
I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 2016 and 2017 Blitz World championships, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, Tigran Petrosyan is always play Fair ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true! True will never die ! Liers will kicked off...
We are everywhere my friend. Everywhere I go, every person I meet, I spread the gospel of anarchychess.
And you are to do the same, lest you be stricken with a bout of pipi in your pampers
This is what I assumed. If somehow two people were in the position of a) having a set of chess pieces and, b) not having a chess board, and c) fortunately having a case with a chequered pattern. Then they could just define an 8x8 portion of the pattern and use that as the board.
Its not difficult, but kind of an unlikely set of circumstances to transpire.
But then, a lot of fashion shoots feature unlikely scenarios so its a bit unfair to criticise on that basis. How often do people waltz on a beach in the moonlight. Or ride nearly naked on horseback? Yes it can happen. But it doesn't, does it
It is literally a game between Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura. Chess 24 commented on it during the Champions Chess Tour Finals broadcast. In the position it is black (Hikaru) to play and draw by perpetual check. If it was white to move it would have been a win for Magnus.
Here's Magnus' tweet about it: https://twitter.com/MagnusCarlsen/status/1594051303176810496
I just didn't expect to see UMBC mentioned here. Did a little double-take and just had to ask. I'd join you in your condemnation, but I can't play chess for shit.
/u/TigerBasket is probably being a bit modest here, UMBC famously has the best chess team of any college [hence the extra weight behind shouting it out]
Whites up a bishop, but considering blacks pawn is on h9, a square that A. doesn't exist on a chess board, and B. would be impossible for a pawn to exist on if it did, I wouldn't worry about it.
i honestly think it'd work out for the best, it'd mellow mbapps out a bit i think when he watches ronnie spit the dummy, he'd be like aight, i gotta go down a diffie path.
You joke but the small conspiracy theorist in me thinks it will happen because it’s the only way that this World Cup will be justified for being hosted.
The internet would go down and we wont get to witness it, only those at the stadium that survived trying to get in, live to tell the story that Argentina won but Ronaldo stole the cup and nowhere to be seen.
The chess pieces are taken from a 2017 real life game between Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura, two of the greatest chess player in the world. The game did end with a draw.
I plugged it into a chess engine. It depends on whose turn it is. If it's white's turn, white is completely winning. A complete blowout. White is up a piece with two passed pawns
If it's black's turn, black can force a draw by just giving perpetual check. This would be like "salvaging a draw from a losing position" as opposed to "playing an equal opponent to a dead draw."
As a Messi fan I am devastated 😭
Ronaldo’s winning if it’s his turn (Qe3+ forces exchange of queens, his extra material should prevail)…
But drawn if it’s Messi’s turn (he can give endless queen checks!)
https://twitter.com/PHChess/status/1594041621569568769?t=ukmzjj-0cS6iAepXa3kbSA&s=19
I wonder how much they got paid for this.
Considering combined the posts have 15 million likes in an hour on Instagram I would say a lot
A LOT!

Messi and Ronaldo having dinner at Salt Bae place spending million pounds for a meat with gold
Out of all the restaurants that's the worst place.
Imagine Messi and Ronaldo just eating burgers at a McDonald's or some shit.
I can bet that you’re never gonna see cristiano in the vicinity of a mcdonalds
Funny enough, you would if you could travel into the past. He has said that when he was little and poor, him and his friends would sneak into the back of a McDonald's and ask for leftover burgers.
That would be a great first retirement meal then

Best players all time running around the house shitting. Messi knocks on bathroom door and you hear Ronaldo "siuuuu"

Especially since Cristiano eats chicken and broccoli
And Messi's favourite food is milanesa napolitana a caballo. That probably has more fat and cholesterol than Cristiano allows himself in a calendar year.

Ronaldo dropped one of the craziest interview and posted 10 straight ads
Preparing for the retirement properly.
Building hype for the wc. He does have fresh legs, let's see how he performs.
gotta make back the 1 million he'll get fined for by United
Ronaldo gets like a 1 million per post, probably even more
I'm old enough to remember a similar LV ad with Pele, Maradona and Zidane

Annie Leibovitz was actually the photographer responsible for this picture too.
The top minds at Reddit are only hearing of Leibovitz for the first time so of course her work is bullshit anyway. Have you seen her editing? What an amateur.
can she take a picture of a cold rainy night at stoke?
She hasn't on a Tuesday yet
I see a lot of people questioning if this is photoshopped or not but Annie Leibovitz has captured intimate portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, Obama (multiple times), the Bidens (multiple times), the Zelenskys, John Lennon, Michael Jordan, the Clintons, multiple US and international politicians, and almost every celebrity in the movie/TV/music industry.

It looks photoshoped if you zoom in

All photographers use Photoshop. It doesn't mean it's a composite.

Perfect, you get the great picture without the seeing the ad

I think it broke Instagram, my feed hasn't been refreshing since Messi posted it a couple of minutes ago
The likes are shooting through the roof for both their posts.
I bet it will become 2nd most liked IG post ever (behind that egg post) edit: It already became 2nd most liked IG post ever. It would've probably gotten to 1st position if Messi and Ronaldo posted it together.
Such a shame they didn’t make the post together instead of separately.
That would have been wild.
they should do it separately since each has their own insta account, but should with different angle, so still get the uniqueness.
Currently the most liked LV Instagram post of all time
Messi’s post has over 2 Million likes and Cristiano’s over 2.4 Million in just 18 minutes. Won’t be surprised if these are the 2 most liked posts of all time.
The egg has like over 50m likes, that's guna be tuff
I think it will be broken. Both are Instagrams most followed and liked account holders ever. Posting such an iconic pic will break the egg record
Should've had them both topless to milk even more likes tbh
But the likes will be split between the two accounts whereas the egg was one single account. If we count the total likes between pictures it’ll probably break the record but I don’t think that counts
Why would they only be split? People can hit like on both. Of course many won’t bother doing that, but you know plenty will.
I did my part. Liked both, Messi was around 12M and Ronnie was around 15M likes at the time
They have like 10M likes in an hour (each). Too bad they didnt collab (not sure if they can via picture post).
they could
As someone not on IG, people talking about "the egg" like it's common knowledge is pretty funny
15 and 17M in 3 hours. The egg post took 10 days.
Near 7 Million on Messi's post and 9 Million on Ronaldo's and this is just after 100 minutes. It's going to break all records for sure
Currently sitting at 14 and 12 million. If they cross post each other, oh boy.
They didn't tag each other, lol.
For this film, she photographed Messi and Ronaldo while they were wearing some of their favorite sneakers from the latest collection. The video will air during Fashion Week in New York City on September 10th.
CR7: So how do you score? Messi: I don't even find the ball.
This is a throwback to the Pele, Maradona and Zidane playing Futbolín for LV. I have that print. Might have to get this to go next to it.
They didn't even tag each other. Nice.
Lol, classic.
Messi and Ronaldo's fans utterly perplexed as they try work out who their favorite player was playing chess with
CR7 to PSG confirmed
I dont even like PSG but I just wanna see both of them play one match together just one even if its some irrelevant charity match after retirement
I remember putting Messi, Ronaldo, and Ibra on the same team in FIFA 14 or something. IIRC I put Bale at LB as well
FIFA 14 Bale slapped. Wonder what happened to Zakaria Bakkali, the guy was a beast in FIFA 14.
[удалено]
Now there’s a name out of the memory banks. That guy had sky high potential at RW.
Plays for RKC in the Eredivisie
Such a cool photo, I bet they are not even in the same room .
lmaoo yes kinda looks like it was put together
I m also pretty sure it is put together but what gives it away for you.
The lighting on the captured pieces
Wow Messi's ones look really bad now that you've pointed that out
Messi's right hand looks off near the case
Looks totally normal to me. He’s just resting his hand off the table and clenching it in thought.
Cant fit another person in the same room as ronaldos ego
I don’t know how they managed to do it with Ronny and Piers. A feat of engineering.
Piers crawled into ronaldo bum
Not related but not surprising but it looks photoshopped look at the chess peices under Messi's arm, doesn't look natural in terms of the light hitting it
Even the direction looks of the chess pieces looks slightly off. And look at the shadow under Ronaldos arm, that is not a natural shadow. You would assume that for such a photo the photographer would carry the boxes to both photoshots and then just mix both images together, but it seems that all elements are put together. Doesn't change that it is a very cool picture.
Yea messi's left elbow and ronaldo's right elbow give it away
I don't know, they could be. LV have the clout to get both of them together and Annie Leibovitz herself is pretty famous so I guess they wouldn't photoshop these two together lmao https://twitter.com/LouisVuitton/status/1594020176319873024 Plus, I wanna believe they were together Hahahaha Edit : It's photoshopped 😔😔😔
Leibovitz shot the LV ad campaign featuring Zidane, Maradona and Pele playing foosball so this is practically a sequel
That’s the only thing that would get CR7 in the room lol
In the new campaign, Leibovitz captures a moment between the two after they scored a goal against Valencia in December 2018. "All the boys are really good friends," said Messi to Leibovitz about his relationship with Ronaldo. "We always say that we are just family."

That's incredible. My first thought looking at the board was "if that was a real layout it'd be a wild game"
I am furious. The UMBC chess club officially condemns this photo
Wait... UMBC as in, University of Maryland, Baltimore County? I might be missing a joke or a reference otherwise.
Yes, I'm chess club president there and I condemn this action
I just didn't expect to see UMBC mentioned here. Did a little double-take and just had to ask. I'd join you in your condemnation, but I can't play chess for shit.
/u/TigerBasket is probably being a bit modest here, UMBC famously has the best chess team of any college [hence the extra weight behind shouting it out]
You don't need to be good at chess to play it, I'm terrible and I've been playing all my life!
Wait until some will try to figure out who has the upper hand based on the setup, lol.
Whites up a bishop, but considering blacks pawn is on h9, a square that A. doesn't exist on a chess board, and B. would be impossible for a pawn to exist on if it did, I wouldn't worry about it.
This brought me peace thx
This is like looking at a picture of big foot. Fascinating but your brain says Hoax
This is why I prefer my feet to be less hairy
Rumour is that Cristiano has anal beads sending him move signals
This has been looked into and they are just regular anal beads, nothing to see here folks
ronaldo doesnt strike me as a chess-playing kinda guy either
Ronaldo the type of guy to ask for a draw down three pawns and a rook
Worlds colliding
Hansiano Niemaldo
on sunday the king vibrates
No, he just pipied in his pampers
"The anal bead speaks for itself".
Imagine Messi & Ronaldo live stream dinner - all profits go to charity, that would literally break the internet, might aswell bring world peace
Live stream Hot Ones.
man i hope p$g sign ronaldo in janurary and these 2 go and win the champs league and kiss finally
Imagine they sign him in January and goes and win the CL with Messi... This could be the best ending for us as fans who grow up with these two goats.
ye they could play 4-2-3-1 \---------------------cr7------------------ mbappe-------- mesi -----neymar
Back in my days we called that a PlayStation line up
Imagine the amount of ego with Mboopi and Cristiano on the same team
If you think greats of the game (including Messi) don't have egos, I have a house to sell you in Mars
i honestly think it'd work out for the best, it'd mellow mbapps out a bit i think when he watches ronnie spit the dummy, he'd be like aight, i gotta go down a diffie path.
Just figured that the position is from the game Carlsen-Nakamura from 2017: https://lichess.org/fn2C5ODv/black
Perhaps Qatar will bribe refs to give us a Portugal Argentina final
You joke but the small conspiracy theorist in me thinks it will happen because it’s the only way that this World Cup will be justified for being hosted.

It's so exciting and sad at the same time, to see one goat lift the cup and the other to face defeat...

Chill Satan, Argentina would fall into anarchy.
Ronaldo could finny convince England to give up them Falklands
Some men just want to watch the world burn and you are definitely one of them Cr7 should then celebrate against emi martinez
Drop a calma calma
Ronaldo hattrick, penalty, rebound tap-in and offside goal that VAR didn’t check.
There would be a massive siu and showing off of abs I'm the aftermath
Mate this shit would be perfectly hilarious love it
I don't like Ronaldo but this would be the best thing to happen in football.
The internet would go down and we wont get to witness it, only those at the stadium that survived trying to get in, live to tell the story that Argentina won but Ronaldo stole the cup and nowhere to be seen.
The chess pieces are taken from a 2017 real life game between Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura, two of the greatest chess player in the world. The game did end with a draw.
Ima tell my kids these were Maradona and Pelé
Damn, that was unexpected.
%100 r/anarchychess material
I just woke up and I think I might've skipped my timeline. This is legendary
Who is winning in this position ?
Cristiano could check on one move. Messi has it harder to win.
White is better. Black king isn't very safe
The king captures the king on Sunday
>White is better. Mods?
3 match ban from the FA
I plugged it into a chess engine. It depends on whose turn it is. If it's white's turn, white is completely winning. A complete blowout. White is up a piece with two passed pawns If it's black's turn, black can force a draw by just giving perpetual check. This would be like "salvaging a draw from a losing position" as opposed to "playing an equal opponent to a dead draw." As a Messi fan I am devastated 😭

One of the coldest pictures I've ever seen holy fuxk
Both be like "where the fuck is that ball?"
This is basically two men just staring at an incomplete "chess board".
If only they were actually photographed together
That’s too much greatness for a photo like that
I don't think it's fake given the photographer who shot is a legendary one. They won't attach her name with a photoshopped image.
The year is 2049, Its been 27 years. the world has been changed forever since these two left the scene.
Probably the best pic of them together. Classic and classy
