It was a tough start to the week as Cristiano Ronaldo finished runner-up to Lionel Messi for the Ballon D’or... again! However, Ronaldo showed midweek that he’ll be fighting to be number one in 2013 with a brilliant hat-trick in the Copa del Rey.

Al Jazeera have released an advert for viewers to get excited for the ‘Classico’ which doesn’t take place until March. In the advert the two greatest footballers on the planet exchange texts. Messi tells Ronaldo that he’ll have broken more records by the time March comes around to which Ronaldo replies ‘Blah blah blah’.
