Cristiano Ronaldo's message after the endless comparisons with Messi

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo marked an important era in world football. These are two of the most relevant players with the best records in the last 15 years. In fact, two athletes who remained in the elite for so long, but beyond staying, being figures in their clubs is really the most expensive of all.

Now, the reality of Ronaldo and Messi is certainly different. For this 2023, both have decided to step aside from European soccer and emigrate to a league, certainly less demanding, but with an optimal competitive level for the aspirations of each one in the final stretch of their career. Now, CR7 surprises everyone with his most recent statements at a press conference about Lionel Messi and the rivalry between the two.

Cristiano meets the Portugal team in this international FIFA break, in which his country has difficult matches and they continue to trust his presence and leadership to carry out the next great process towards EURO 2024 and the 2026 World Cup. However , Ronaldo was asked about Lionel Messi and this is what the Portuguese said.

What did Ronaldo say about Lionel Messi?

"Whoever follows me, he doesn't have to hate Messi. We both shined in a great way, but I think it's time to say that the rivalry is over. We changed the history of football and the fans really enjoyed it", confessed Cristiano Ronaldo at a press conference with the Portugal National Team.
