An Italian urban artist, Tvboy painted the two Clásico protagonists, Messi and Ronaldo, in a passionate kiss on the streets of Barcelona, in a piece heavily-influenced by Antonio De Felipe.

Paseo de Gràcia in Barcelona became adorned with a curious image; a passionate kiss between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, just three days before Real Madrid and Barça meet in a potentially league-deciding clash at the Santiago Bernabéu.

The painting is the work of urban artist Tvboy, who is known for his controversial pieces. Here, the two La Liga stars embrace in a smooch, in a work entitled ‘Love is blind’.



Tvboy created the street art during the night as Wednesday morphed in to Thursday.

The painting bears a strong resemblance to a piece by graffiti artist Antonio De Felipe, also of the two players kissing, which was exhibited in Madrid in 2015.
