Criticizing Messi, Ronaldo Challenges La Pulga to Play Outside Spain

DBasia.news – Cristiano Ronaldo is known as one of the best players in the world due to his hard work to play in Europe highest competition. He also took a brave decision this season after leaving Real Madrid and joining Juventus.

Not too long after that, he chose to come to Italy and joined Juventus. Ronaldo was signed with a spectacular transfer fee, 100 million euro, and the additional 12 million euro. His salary this season is also fantastic, 30 million euro.

“I’d like him to come to Italy one day. I hope he accepts the challenge like me, but if he’s happy there then I respect that,” Ronaldo said cited by BBC.

Not too different to Ronaldo, Messi is still the prominent player for El Barca. In total, the 31-year-old player has collected 17 goals and 10 assists of all competitions.

Despite hoping Messi would follow his path to Italy, the former Manchester United player also stated that he isn’t missing the player who was born in Rosario, Argentina, at all.

“No, maybe it’s him who misses me. I’ve played in England, Spain, Italy, Portugal and for my national team, while he’s still in Spain. For me, life is a challenge, I like it and I like to make people happy,” he concluded.
