The legendary Portuguese striker does not consider the Argentine striker as an enemy.
The era of fierce confrontation between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi is over. This is what the Portuguese striker himself said.
According to the 38-year-old, after 15 years of rivalry on and off the field, now is the time for everyone to go their separate ways. He also refused to call the Argentine an enemy.
“I don’t take it that way, the rivalry is over. It was great, the audience loved it.
If you like Cristiano Ronaldo you shouldn’t hate Messi. They were both great, they changed the history of football. We are respected all over the world, this is the most important thing.
He will go in his direction and I will. From what I saw, he was fine.
The point is to continue to leave a legacy and I don’t see it as a rivalry. I have already said that we shared the stage for 15 years and eventually became, if not friends, but respectful colleagues,” Ronaldo was quoted as saying by SAPO.
We remind you, earlier it became known that for the first time in 20 years, Ronaldo was not nominated for the Golden ball.
