Lionel Messi has hailed the ‘phenomenal’ Cristiano Ronaldo as a ‘player with a lot of quality’ stating he enjoys the comparisons
between the two.
The Portuguese star netted 16 goals in his final 10 matches as Real Madrid clinched a La Liga and Champions League double, and
alongside Messi, has scooped up the past nine Ballon d’Or awards.
“No, I have always said it, and [Ronaldo] for his part – he is armed with the presence of
us both,” Messi is quoted by ESPN as telling Tencent.
“We try to achieve the best every year for our team, and what is said outside of that I don’t think is very important.
“He is a phenomenal player with a lot of quality. All the world knows, and that is why he is one of the best of the world.
“Whenever a new season starts it should be better than the last one, we play to achieve win more titles and to be in the final stages
of the Champions League and to win La Liga.
“It didn’t happen this year. We tried, but it didn’t happen; we ended it with the Copa. We hope that the year to come is better in
the aspect of titles.”
