The Portuguese star stated this again after Juventus brushed past Barcelona in the Champions League with a superb 3-0 win on Tuesday night, December 8.
Ronaldo scored twice as the result ensured Juventus claim
the top spot in Group G.
While Ronaldo made the headline for a good showing, Messi
made 11 shots, including seven on target, but couldn’t score.
However, Ronaldo, who shared a brief embrace with Messi
before the Tuesday night clash, said there was no rivalry between the two
all-time greats.
“I have always had a
very cordial relationship with him,” the Juve star told Movistar on Tuesday
night.
“I shared 12, 13 or 14 years of award ceremonies with him. I
never saw him as a rival.
“He always tries to do what is best for his team and me too.
I always got along very well with him.
“But we know that in football, for the press, for the show,
a rivalry is sought, but I have always gotten along well with him. I see him as
always.”
“Barcelona are going through a difficult time, but it is
still Barcelona,” Ronaldo added.
“The truth is that we are very happy, we knew it was an
almost impossible mission, it was a complicated mission and we played well.
“The key was to get
into the game well, we scored two early and from there we believed it was
possible.”
