The Portuguese skipper stated that he cannot stop people from comparing him with Lionel Messi and the only chance he has to play alongside the Argentine is if he joins Real Madrid, which is next to impossible.
Cristiano Ronaldo recently gave out an interview in which he spoke about how he does not care about the progress of Lionel Messi and in fact, he carries on to train for himself and his team.
The comparisons between these two players can definitely never end as long as they both are playing at their best.
While http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 represents Barcelona, Cristiano Ronaldo represents their arch-rivals, Real Madrid, and that is another reason why there is no stopping to the comparisons being done between both the parties.
La Blaugrana are currently 8 points above their arch-rivals, Real Madrid, and Los Blancos are the current champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, thanks to an extraordinary season played by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Therefore, both the players are in contention to win the FIFA Ballon d’Or award and both of them are also the favourites to win it.
While speaking about how people tend to compare him and Messi, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 said:
“It is not just now, they have been for the last five years. What can I do? I cannot change that history.”
“I do not work in the Press or on the television, I cannot control it. But they love doing that.”
“I have only my http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 to do, to keep training and give my team the best of me. And I do not worry about what they say about Messi.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 also spoke about his chances of playing alongside the Argentinean skipper and said:
“If he comes here then I can play with him. But that would be very difficult.”
Currently, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 have an 8-point advantage over Real Madrid in the Spanish La Liga. However, both the teams are going perfectly fine in the UEFA Champions League.
While La Blaugrana have won all their fixtures in the European competition, Real Madrid have only lost a single game and won the rest.
These two players are definitely the juggernauts of football and they both possess the quality to turn the game on its head.
