Ronaldo laughed when talking about Messi

Cristiano Ronaldo has not ruled out the possibility of playing alongside Lionel Messi, who has been a great rival for more than a decade.

Cristiano Ronaldo brought a funny and memorable moment in the press conference before the Nations League final on June 9, when he was unexpectedly asked about Lionel Messi. An Argentine reporter suddenly asked: "Do you think you will play with Messi in the future?". CR7 laughed and replied: "Are you going to ask about Messi here?".

Ronaldo said: "Bueno, boludo" (roughly translated: Well, you asked a difficult question). The familiar Argentine slang made the whole audience laugh. CR7 continued: "I love Argentina very much. My wife is Argentine. I was even invited to play in the FIFA Club World Cup for a team there."

Ronaldo left open the possibility: "Never say never. But honestly, it's very difficult. I like Messi, we've been on the same football stage for 15 years. Back then, I was the one who helped him translate from English to Spanish every time he attended an event."

Previously, FIFA President Gianni Infantino revealed the possibility that Ronaldo could play at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, possibly even alongside Messi. He said: "I would love to see Cristiano and Messi play together. Imagine them playing for the same team in this tournament? That would be something really special."

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is an expanded edition featuring 32 of the world's top clubs, which will be held in the US in June. Messi will definitely be representing MLS with Inter Miami, while Ronaldo's Al Nassr will not be in the tournament.

However, FIFA confirmed that the 32 teams participating in the 2025 Club World Cup are allowed to make transfers or loans during the special additional registration period from June 1 to 10.
