The Argentine striker believes that he and the Portuguese have helped each other in their sporting careers.
Lionel Messi reached the highest level in football and built a successful career thanks to his rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo. The Argentine striker thinks so himself.
Attack Inter Miami Lionel Messi spoke about the confrontation with the Portuguese that lasted more than 10 years.
“Sportingly, it was a big battle. We fed off that rivalry because we’re both very competitive. He always wanted to win, too.
It was a lot of fun for both of us, who also love football. I think we really deserved to reach the top and stay there for so long.
It’s easy to get there, but it’s hard to stay there, and we stayed at the top for 10-15 years. It’s so hard and amazing to do.
It will be a good memory for all who followed us,” L’Équipe quoted Messi as saying.
We remind you that during his career the Argentinean won eight Ballon d’Ors, while Ronaldo has five awards.
Let’s remember that Ronaldo himself spoke earlier about his rival with Messi.
