Since this is a friendly match, there is not much pressure on the players to perform. There is, however, always hype surrounding these two players since they are the stars of their respective leagues. But the truth is that the intensity in a friendly is much less than in competitive games.

As a result, the players can play with lesser weight on their shoulders. When such a thing happens, the players can actually enjoy their game and play it for the fun of it. When Cristiano Ronaldo does that, he usually rips apart the defence of the opposition to shreds.
