That's a proper hug.

Watch the video closely and you will also see Ronaldo apologising to Buffon ("perdón.")

It was surely the last time Ronaldo and Buffon will go head-to-head in a professional match.

Fans on Twitter enjoyed the touching moment between two footballing greats after the full-time whistle.

Ultimately after everything Buffon is a pure legend of the game. After the war these two warriors possess great respect for one another. pic.twitter.com/ubOSNScc7q

RONALDO IS A "REAL ASSASSIN"

Buffon, who has earned the respect of fans globally over the last 20 years, praised Ronaldo ahead of their Champions League meeting.

"I admire him because he's a person who knows what he's doing and he is pragmatic," Buffon told Marca last week.

"In recent years he has shown that he is intelligent. He has changed his position, he wastes less energy, yet he is just as lethal. In front of goal he is a real assassin.

"The only player I've seen have this clarity when shooting on his own is David Trezeguet."

Incredibly, Ronaldo has already scored 15 goals in the Champions League so far this season.

No player has ever scored more Champions League goals in a single campaign, apart from the man himself, who netted 17 goals in 2013/14 and 16 goals in 2015/16.

His records may stand for a very long time.
