Unusual. Rivals on the field, Ronaldo and Messi are... brothers in Colombia

A Colombian man, a confessed admirer of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, decided to register his children with the names of the two biggest stars in world football. The information was revealed by the television station RCN.

One of the children is named Cristiano Ronaldo, while the other is Leonel Messi, not Lionel like the Paris Saint-Germain player. The young people's nicknames are Paternina and Gaviria.

Still, this is not a unique case in the world. The same television station reported that in Honduras, a young man was baptized Messi Mbappé. The older brothers also have unusual names such as Diego Drogba and Aldo Balotelli, chosen in honor of players Didier Drogba and Mario Balotelli.
