Ronaldo: 'Messi is not better than me'

The exchange between Cristiano Ronaldo and journalist Piers Morgan has once again caused a stir in the football world, as the Portuguese superstar rejected the idea that Lionel Messi is better than him.

Ronaldo continued his conversation with Morgan, which promised to reveal many aspects of his life.

In the trailer released on the night of November 3rd, Ronaldo responded: "Messi is better than me? I disagree. I don't want to be modest," when asked about former teammate Wayne Rooney's comment that Messi was superior to him.

This marks a reunion between Ronaldo and Piers Morgan, following their controversial interview at the end of 2022, when CR7 left Manchester United amidst much debate. However, Morgan described this conversation as "the most intimate interview ever," focusing more on personal perspectives rather than off-field controversies.

Over the past two decades, the rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi has become an icon of modern football. The two have faced each other 36 times in official competitions, with Ronaldo winning 11, losing 16, and drawing 9. Their most recent encounter was in the 2020/21 Champions League season, when Juventus defeated Barcelona 3-0.

Despite the fierce competition, Ronaldo never denied his rival's talent. In a 2022 conversation with Morgan, he said: "Messi is an extraordinary player, full of magic. We shared the stage for 16 years, a fantastic time. I respect him as a great colleague."

Currently, Ronaldo maintains his impressive form at Al Nassr, while Messi shines brightly at Inter Miami. The two may never meet again on the pitch, but the debate over "who is greater" will undoubtedly continue for many years to come.

Ronaldo celebrates his goals with a humorous dance. Striker Cristiano Ronaldo had a funny celebration after scoring a brace against Al Fayha in the 7th round of the Saudi Pro League on the morning of November 2nd.
