On the other hand, planet football paid their respects to Johan Cruyff this weekend with various memorial acts.
Leo Messi went over to Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid's star and his historic rival in the battle to be best in the world, to congratulate him. An honourable action by the Barcelona forward.
Doing this after Cristiano Ronaldo's winning goal shows that for him there is no rivalry with the Portuguese star off the pitch. Lionel Messi is only focused on improving day to day, and bringing success to FC Barcelona and Argentina.
On the other hand, planet football paid their respects to Johan Cruyff this weekend with various memorial acts, including FC Barcelona on Saturday and Ajax on Sunday. Both sets of fans held up card to create mosaics to hail the former star of both teams. The mosaics created will live long in the memory.
If the prologue of the Clasico and minute 14 were dedicated to the Dutchman, the whole match in Amsterdam between Ajax and Zwolle was centred around Cruyff.
His son was present to represent the family and watched the game from the presidential box. Meanwhile, at Camp Nou fans watched a video in his honour which recalled some of his career and featured quotes about him.
To end, Both legs of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash between FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will see the two Spanish teams wearing their second kits.
Despite wearing their home kit at Vicente Calderon Stadium in Liga BBVA this season, FC Barcelona will sport their yellow strip in place of their traditional red and blue colours while the Atletico Madrid will wear dark blue.
UEFA have made this a requirement so the referee and the fans will be able to distinguish between the two sides.
