DBasia.news – New Manchester United striker, Cristiano Ronaldo, reveals the greatest player he has ever faced. Without further ado, Ronaldo said that Lionel Messi the most challenging opponent to fight.
Over the last decade, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have competed at the highest level of world football. The peak, of course, was when Ronaldo was at Real Madrid, while Messi defended Barcelona.
Both of them took turns being chosen as the best player in the world. In addition, Ronaldo and Messi were also pursuing achievements either at the club or individual level.
Now, Messi and Ronaldo has taken a similar path. If Messi left Barcelona and anchored at Paris Saint-Germain, CR7 also changed clubs, namely from Juventus to his former, Manchester United.
Interestingly, the rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi is predicted to continue until one of them decides to retire. In fact, Messi and Ronaldo are no longer young.
Ronaldo also admitted that Messi is the most challenging opponent he has ever faced. Telling the presenter from England, Piers Morgan, while still defending Juve, Ronaldo quickly answered Messi as the greatest player he had ever faced.
“Messi!” answered Ronaldo as Morgan wrote in his column in the Daily Mail.
“Of course. Messi is the best player I’ve ever faced,” continued the 36-year-old striker.
Despite calling Messi the greatest opponent, Ronaldo still feels he is better than his rival. “You should ask who is the greatest player,” Ronaldo said.
“I think I know the answer,” Morgan replied with a laugh. Then, as if to confirm, Ronaldo winked his eye.
