For more than a decade, both have been the best players on the planet in a title race which has been admirable to watch. Champions League, Spanish Leagues, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/ballon-dor-2022-trophy-weight-size-material-and-value-20221016-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ballon d’Or </a>and many other conquests for the National teams such as the UEFA Euro and the Copa America.
Though in the beginning of their ‘sporting rivalry’ many believedMessi and Cristiano Ronaldo hated each other, the truth is they’ve always had enormous respect and, especially in recent years, both players have been seen together and have shared very emotional quotes to one another.
“He’s amazing. As a player, Messi is magic, top. As a person, we’ve shared the stage for 16 years. Imagine, 16 years. So I have a great relationship with him. I’m not friend of him, but he is like a teammate. He is a guy I really respect. The way he always speaks about me. There’s always respect. What I’m going to say about Messi? Great things. He is the best I’ve played or fight with. Yes”, said Cristiano Ronaldo a few days ago in an interview with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/cristiano-ronaldo-interview-piers-morgan-would-take-him-at-arsenal-20221115-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Piers Morgan</a>.
