Messi says in an interview that the rivalry with Ronaldo is very healthy and he defends his striker partner Suarez who is under critics recently for his poor performance.

"He's a special player. The whole league misses him, including me. The healthy rivalry between Cristiano and I is something that you rarely see. " Messi talks to Fox Argentina.

"There is no battle but a healthy one. Cristiano is a great player and of course, he motivates me to be even better."

Meanwhile, the Golden Shoe winner also talks about his good friend Suarez. He said: "Everyone attacks Suarez for his knee surgery, but it was necessary. He didn't miss the final by choice. He tore his meniscus vs Liverpool."

Messi reveals he still has a Whatsapp group with Neymar and Suarez, the former now links tightly with Barca again.

"Neymar is a phenomenon and yes, we continue to talk. The name of the group has something to do with South America … 'The Three Sudacas' or something like that." he told Fox Sports Argentina.

The Argentine speaks about his future.

"I don't know. Perhaps one day I will play in the Argentinian league."

"My dream as a child was to play for Newells in their stadium"

"The day I stop enjoying football is the day I will end my career”

When it comes to his former coach Guardiola, Messi says: "Pep? He prepares for each game in different style & tells you exactly how he thinks it will be played out. He taught me a lot of stuff & about tactics. We did exactly how he wanted and ran just like he wanted. Everyone saw how we played."

"I miss Xavi and Iniesta. On the pitch obviously, but off the pitch as well. We are friends"

THE GOAT.....














ANY OTHER GOAT NA EWU SOKOTO

Messi should teach CR7 good soccer

And some deludes will say Messi don't care or give a damn about Ronaldo.


The simple truth is that the both motivate each other.



For me Messi is better but Ronaldo is greater.

like for Ronaldo.. Share for messi

Okay

Wonder if ronaldo can be this humble too in respecting messi.

His own competition with messi is not the healthy one

You really cannot hate on this guy

Like for MESSI share for RONALDO

CR7 has made this guy to be better ,since he left spaiin his career and influence in game has been dwindling ...


In real life we need one another to be better ... forget the rivalry .


Messi has Made CR7 to be better so also CR7 has made the midget to be good .


But the best still remain CR7 the real G.O.A.T

ok

Ronaldo will always be d GOAT

Messi the greatest defender to ever lived. In defence he is like the rock of Gilbatrar.

Cr7

Messi obviously doesn't like attention, he doesn't like comparison either. Just enjoy the soccer legends play. They've won almost everything, marveled opposing fans. So what's there to compare?

donoro:
Of course even Lord miss penalty knows ororo is d greatest to play d game

una don start again,this table you're shaking if those people wearing blue and black stripes jersey get hold of you I no dey oo

That’s cool

I thought Messi fans say he is not competing with Ronaldo
