Messi won his fifth Ballon d'Or Monday, but his victory may have been overshadowed by the real star of the show, a photo of Cristiano Ronaldo greeting Messi's girlfriend, Antonella Roccuzzo, with Messi looking on awkwardly and Neymar looking like he's about to hop out of his seat and punch Ronaldo in the face.

And then Twitter got hold of it.

This picture was taken before Messi was announced as the 2015 Ballon d'Or winner, so presumably his (and by extension, Neymar's) day got better. And hopefuly Ronaldo doesn't do a John Terry, although we wouldn't put it past him.
We should note that we think this picture just caught everyone at a weird moment and there's nothing to be suspicious going down in it.
It still is funny, though.
