The Rivalry That Never Existed!
🎙Cristiano Ronaldo after his 2008 Ballon d'Or statement:
🗣️: "I am the best player in the world, the second best player and the third best player in the World." "There are other good players behind me like Kaká, Torres and maybe Messi a bit, but I did what it took to be the best at the moment." »
🎙 Cristiano Ronaldo in 2012:
🗣️: "I'm better than Messi, you can't compare a Ferrari to a Porsche. "I should have won the last 3 Balón D'ors, but it's not up to me." »
🎙Cristiano Ronaldo in 2015 after winning his 4th Golden Boot and Messi had only 3:
🗣️: "The golden boot is more important than the golden ball because the golden ball depends on votes while the golden boot, depends on goals. """

🗣️: "Messi is a fantastic player, but I think if I had 6, 7 or 8 Ballon d'Or I would be above him." """
🎙 Cristiano Ronaldo in 2019 after winning the Nations League:
🗣️: "My dream has always been to win something for my country, when you win something for your country, it's completely different." """

Leo Messi never responded to such provocations, he was always humble working in silence. 😆😆
