Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have had historic battles in football in recent years, but the Portuguese put the rivalry aside and praised the Argentine
Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi fought for the top of world football for 16 seasons and are still looking for the best possible level in the main center of the sport today. About to start another World Cup, the duo wants, this time, to move forward and seek the unprecedented title in their career. In addition, CR7 took everyone by surprise when talking about wanting to play for PSG alongside the Argentine.
In an interview with Piers Morgan, Cristiano Ronaldo made it clear that the idea of playing with Messi at Paris Saint-Germain would not be a bad one. In the vision of the Portuguese star, who would profit from this possible partnership would be the club: “Everything is possible in football. Why not? I don’t know. They would definitely sell a lot of shirts (laughs)🇧🇷
Cristiano Ronaldo also took advantage of the moment to make a series of compliments for Messi. The Manchester United striker warned that there is no longer a great rivalry between the two, but that in recent years both have driven each other to reach extraordinary heights. Even with all the dispute, CR7 warned that he never stopped admiring his opponent.
🇧🇷(He is incredible. As a player, he’s magic, he’s top. As a person, we’ve shared the stage for 16 years. Imagine that. I have a great relationship with him. I’m not his friend, like that friend who goes to your house, with whom you talk on the phone; but he’s like a teammate. He’s a guy I respect a lot, the way he always talks about me. Even his wife and my girlfriend respect each other. They are from Argentina, my girlfriend is from Argentina. It’s good. What am I going to say about Messi? Only good things. He’s a nice guy who does everything for football“, continued.
The Manchester United star also revealed that Messi is the toughest rival he has faced in his career and took the opportunity to propose a dinner with his former opponent: “Probably yes (it’s for the best). And Zidane probably. Who I played against, disputed, yes🇧🇷 Never (we had dinner). Why not? Yea! I love meeting people, I love people. I love sharing things, ideas, learning things, new stories, new brains. I’m going to do it for sure in a few years, like Pelé and Maradona didn’t even do in the past. No problems🇧🇷
