Argentine captain Lionel Messi have
hinted that he enjoys no relationship
with 'imaginary' competitive rival
Cristiano Ronaldo outside of football
business.
The Camp Nou star does not think he
will become friends with Ronaldo once
both players retire at the end of their
playing careers
Messi, 30, has revealed that he does not
have a relationship with Cristiano
Ronaldo, and only really speaks to his
rival at awards ceremonies.
Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, has
previously claimed that himself and
Messi will likely put their on-field
rivalry behind them when they finish
playing and become friends, but the
Barcelona forward is not confident that
their future is bright beyond football.
Messi while speaking to Spanish media
Marca about his relationship with
Ronaldo said: "I don't know if we will be
[friends],"
"Friendship is built through spending
time together and getting to know each
other.
"We have no relationship, mainly
because we only see each other at
awards ceremonies and that's the only
time we speak. Everything is fine, but
our lives don't cross over very often."
After helping Madrid win the
Champions League with two goals in the
final against Juventus, Ronaldo is the
favourite to win the Ballon d'Or again
this year. It will be the Portugal
international's fifth award, equaling
Messi's record tally.
The duo have finished first and second
each year since 2008, but Messi believes
that their dominance will be broken in
the near future as other players
challenge them for the crown of the best
player in the world.
"There are many great players around
today who can win the Ballon d'Or," the
30-year-old said.
"In recent years there have just been
two, but now players like Neymar, Kylian
Mbappe and Luis Suarez can compete for
that award."
Messi accepted the European Golden
boot award on Friday, November 24 , for
the fourth time, which put him level
with Ronaldo.
The trophy is awarded annually to the
player who finishes as the top domestic
scorer in Europe during the previous
season.
The Argentina international scored 37
times in La Liga last season, which is
the lowest winning score since Luis
Suarez and Cristiano Ron
