JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are preparing to face each other again after Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are in the same group in the Champions League.

In the most prestigious competition on the European continent which will start on September 14 and 15, the two clubs are in Group A with RB Leipzig and Club Brugge.

Gary Lineker was one of the first to react to the draw.

"You can't do that: @ManCity and @PSG_English in the same group. Can we see Messi v Ronaldo again", he tweeted.

Another netizen joked: "Messi and Ronaldo went straight from El Classico to Oil Classico". Refers to PSG and City owners who come from the Middle East.

A third user said: "UEFA is trying to suppress as much of the Ronaldo/Messi fight as possible before they retire".

A fourth Twitter user commented: "Ronaldo has joined City and Messi is already at PSG, get ready for the Oil Classico. After Man Utd, Real Madrid, and Juventus, it's time for Messi to take on this guy at Man City".

While another excited fan added: "Manchester City vs PSG in group A. We get another El Cashico round and potentially Messi vs Ronaldo. Beautiful things".

A sensational reunion between the two players depends on Ronaldo's future. As previously reported, the 36-year-old almost joined Manchester City.

According to reports in Spain, the Portugal veteran forward has agreed with terms for his move to the Etihad Stadium, leaving only a transfer fee to be agreed.

Messi, on the other hand, moved from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month after the Catalan giants were unable to offer the Argentine superstar a new contract.

Only time will tell whether we get to see another tantalizing clash between Messi and Ronaldo.
