The Ballon d'Or 2021 night in Paris proved to be a magical one for Lionel Messi as he lifted a record-extending 7th award. It was undoubtedly a special evening for the Argentine and fans got icing on the cake when they saw Tom Holland, the on-screen Spiderman of Marvel Studios, attending the ceremony. He was notably present there to promote Spider-Man: No Way Home which is set to release on December 16 (in India).
However, Tom had a rather action-packed time in Paris. The British actor made the most out of his opportunity to spend some time with top footballers across the globe as he was seen having some exciting conversations with players like Kylian Mbappe, Robert Lewandowski and many more. However, his meeting with Lionel Messi was something that caught everyone's attention.
Tom Holland + Lionel Messi = Magic
In a video getting viral on social media, Tom Holland can be seen having a fun chat with Lionel Messi. As soon as the Argentine leaves, it was the actor's delightful reactions that left everyone in awe. For a moment, the on-screen Spiderman looked like any other fanboy of one of the best footballers in the world - Lionel Messi.
In another image doing the rounds on Twitter, Tom Holland has been captured hilariously stealing Lionel Messi's #30 PSG jersey which certainly clears out that he is a huge admirer of the striker. The netizens absolutely enjoyed the banter and comradery that they saw between two superstars from two different industries.
Ain’t nothing like a weekend in Paris: Tom Holland
The British actor also posted a one-minute video on Instagram which summarized his amazing weekend in Paris. From entering the PSG home ground to his time at the Ballon d'Or ceremony to him showing his football skills, Holland certainly had a lot of fun in the capital of France as he captioned the post as, "Ain’t nothing like a weekend in Paris."
Meanwhile, fans will be eagerly waiting to see both Holland and Messi back in action weaving their magic in their respective fields. While the on-screen Spiderman is set to hit the cinemas on December 16, Messi gets ready for a busy few days which sees PSG facing Nice, Lens, Club Brugge and Monaco in the fortnight.
