Lionel Messi: Competition with Cristiano Ronaldo will always be remembered
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Barcelona star Lionel Messi said that competition with Cristiano Ronaldo will always be remembered. He considers the competition for years with CR7 is special for him.
Lionel Messi’s competition with Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the spiciest seasonings in LaLiga. The two players set records for each other and were involved in the race to be the best.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo’s decision to go to Juventus in 2018 stops everything. Now, Messi no longer has comparable opponents in LaLiga.
“It is a special duel and will always be remembered forever. It will last for years and it is not easy to maintain a certain level for a long time. Moreover, we play in a very demanding team, Barcelona and Real Madrid,” explained Messi as reported by DAZN.
“The sportsmanship between us is very pleasant. On an individual level, I feel that people also feel good, whether it’s from Madrid or Barcelona, even football supporters in general.”
The most awaited meeting stage between Messi and CR7 is the El Clasico duel. In that match, Messi and Ronaldo became the main star.
“The match against Real Madrid is always meaningful. However, when Cristiano Ronaldo was there, Madrid was far more special,” Messi said.
Now, Messi began to get used to no longer elbowing each other with Ronaldo. Messi considers it’s time to turn away from the duel that has taken place since 2009.
“However, it is a time that has passed. Now is the time to look forward and witness what we have today,” said La Pulga.
Since Cristiano Ronaldo has left, LaLiga’s prestige has declined. Although, other star players like Eden Hazard and Joao Felix joined.
