Lionel Messi Talks About Cristiano Ronaldo by bbbabes1: 9:15am On Jan 19, 2017
5 Time Ballon D’or winner, Lionel Messi, has heaped praise on his rival, four time Ballon D’or Winner and one time FIFA ‘Best’ winner, Cristiano Ronaldo, saying Ronaldo has achieved many things and he has mutual respect for the Real Madrid man, dispelling the myth that the pair are huge rivals who resent one another.


Messi, who missed out on FIFA’s ‘The Best’ Awards gala last Monday, citing match preparation duties, also took out time to praise England’s all time record goalscorer Wayne Rooney, saying he has always respected the Manchester United captain, who is just one goal shy of breaking Sir Bobby Charlton’s all time goal scoring record for Manchester United.

Speaking to Coach Mag, Messi said:

“There is a mutual respect. I view him as a great player who has achieved great things because that is exactly what he is. My motivation, though, has always come from wanting to do well for Barcelona and Argentina, and the fans.”

“Over the years we have faced many British teams in Europe and come up against many good players, but I have always had a big respect for Wayne Rooney. He has played at the highest level for many years and is one of the special players of the generation.”

It is the job of the poor and the jobless to create myths about one succesful person fighting each other.

OBJ and IBB will exchange banters and help one another - but the poor will continue to have an illusion that the two dont see eye to eye.

Just as they have created an impression that Tinubu and PMB dont see eye to eye.

Ronaldo will hug Messi and move on. They are both super rich. Yet some fellow will tell you how they dot see eye to eye.

Poverty of the mind is as bad as poverty itself.

I reject poverty of the mind. I reject poverty.

Anyways, we all know CR7 remains the best. There's no controversy here.

Before you guys will start praising Messi for displaying maturity etc, know you this day that Ronaldo did also express his heart felt concern for Messi at Messi's "low moment"

CR7 said: "It hurts to see Messi in tears and I hope he returns to his country, because he needs it."
