Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo said he deserves to end his soccer career with more Ballon d’Or awards than Barcelona counterpart Lionel Messi and hopes to establish himself as the greatest player of all time.

Ronaldo, 34, has won the renowned France Football magazine trophy for the world’s best player five times – as many as Messi – but is eager for more as he moves into the twilight of his career.

“Messi’s in the history of football,” Ronaldo told broadcaster Piers Morgan in an interview with Britain’s ITV on Tuesday.

“But I think I have to have six or seven or eight to be above him,” he said, referring to the Ballon d’Or awards.

“I’d love it, I think I deserve it.”

The Portugal captain said he was no friend of the Argentine, but credited his rival for helping push him further in his own career.

“My relationship with him is, we are not friends, but we have shared this stage for 15 years,” Ronaldo said.

“I know that he has pushed me to be a better player and I have pushed him to be a better player as well.”

Ronaldo, who also played for Manchester United and Real Madrid, has five UEFA Champions League winners’ medals and led Portugal to victory at the 2016 UEFA European Championship and 2019 UEFA Nations League tournaments.

“I don’t follow the records, the records follow me. I’m addicted to the success, and I don’t think it’s something bad, I think it’s good,” Ronaldo said.

“It motivates me. If you’re not motivated, it’s better to stop.”

The funny thing is that, Messi always ignore all these childish talks

nothing childish here and not dat messi wants to ignore,it just dat he was an ex slowpoke and somewhat an introvert,not really a social media person,dat y ronaldo remains d most used athlete for adverts......messi complained a lot during copa america about d grass as if no be same grass opponent dey use

.messi doesnt deserve 2010 balon d'or...any time ronaldo wins it,u rarely doubt it shud av been someone else...Sneijder not Messi would have won in 2010
Sneijder won the Champions League that year with Inter
and was runner-up in the World Cup with Holland. He got
293 points from the journalists. Iniesta was second on
291, while Xavi was third on 229.






out of no where it was given to messi....shame on blatter,his corruption cases lived after him

Modified: damn most people are quoting me about 2013 balon d'or being given to ronaldo instead of Ribery...guyman check below,ronaldo was on fire 2013,Ronaldo's goals were more than Messi and Ribery's goals combine together ....his performance was top notch even for country

True

Hmmm another state of insecurity.
Don't worry ronaldo you have done your best for football but there is always one true humble KING that avoid the cheap talks and leaves it for the old ladies

M.E.S.S.I

Why Messi always this boy problem
If dis one dey village e go dey kill anyone wey wan progress pas am

These bloggers and cooked stories again
When did he said that!?? Or is there no anything news

The Real GOAT

Ok

Messi Is Still Better Than You! Keep Talking Trash

Does this guy sleep at all? Obsessed with Messi like his fans.


If not for anything, a special Ballon D'or should be made for Messi. Then other players should be fighting for another Ballon D'or.

Even though I respect this guy, I dislike him bcoz of pride. I will always support any team that play against his team

It's too bad that our children are not going to enjoy this kind of rivalry in their lifetime but trust I will tell them about it and show them countless videos of the biggest sport rivalry the world has ever seen.
CR7 deserves 8 or even 10 balon d'or than Messi
