Cristiano Ronaldo Wants to Have Dinner with Lionel Messi

DBasia.news –  Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been rivals to become the world’s best players for years. Ronaldo described his relationship with Messi as a professional relationship, however, he claimed to have wanted to have dinner with Messi someday.

Over the past 10 years, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have always been at the top of the list of the world’s best players. In fact, the hegemony of the two players only was foundered last year when Luka Modric was the best.

Cristiano Ronaldo does not deny the fact that there is competition between him and Messi. However, the competition is still in fair form. The Juventus striker was always motivated when Lionel Messi won the trophy.

“I have no doubt that Lionel Messi has made me a better player, and vice versa. When I win the trophy it will surely disturb him, even when he becomes the best,” said Ronaldo as reported by TV1.

“I really admire Lionel Messi’s career from the outside and inside. He has spoken to me about disappointment when I left Spain. That is because we appreciate each other.”

According to Ronaldo, his rivalry with Messi had a positive impact. Not surprisingly, he was very open in being able to meet with Messi not in the field, but at the dining table.

“This is a good rivalry, but not unique. Michael Jordan has competition in basketball, there are Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in Formula 1. What they all have in common is healthy competition.”

“I have a professional relationship with Lionel Messi because we shared the same moment for 15 years. We never had dinner together, but don’t know in the future. I don’t see any problem with that,” Ronaldo added.

Cristiano Ronaldo is above Lionel Messi if the indicator used is the title with the national team. As CR7 has won the European Cup and UEFA Nations League with the Portugal national team. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi’s trophy cabinet in the Argentine national team is still empty.
