The Italian club Juventus announced the suspension of all its official accounts on the X platform in various languages, retaining only the Italian-language account. This move recalls a famous exchange between Juventus and Barcelona on the same platform, featuring a playful message battle between the clubs, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the main figures. The decision included closing Juventus's official English account, which was involved in a notable exchange with Barcelona's account in October 2020, following Barcelona's 2-0 victory at Juventus's stadium in the UEFA Champions League. After the match, Barcelona's account posted a picture of Messi with a caption referring to his title as the greatest player in history, to which Juventus's English account responded with a challenging message alluding to Ronaldo. The final response came six weeks later in the return leg at Camp Nou, where Juventus won 3-0, with Ronaldo shining by scoring two penalties and McKennie adding the third goal. Following the match, Juventus's English account revisited its earlier tweet with a photo of Ronaldo, affirming the fulfillment of the promise made on the platform. This exchange became one of the most memorable moments between the two clubs' social media accounts, transferring the historic rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo beyond the pitch. With the suspension of the English account, those tweets resurfaced, reminding fans of an iconic moment between two of the greatest football stars of the modern era.
