Leo Messi talks about his rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo after winning the eighth Ballon d’Or in his amazing career.

"Now you have won for the eighth time and you have three more than Cristiano Ronaldo," the reporter asked. So is the competition over? ”

Leo Messi replied:

"It was a great competition between me and Cristiano. "As an athlete, he is very good and I think we benefit from each other because we are both very competitive and he always wants to win over everyone and everything. I think it was a beautiful time for us and those who love football in general.


What we have done so far is admirable because, as they say, it is easy to reach the top. But difficult to keep at the top level. We are in the top 10 or 15 years, I am not sure how many years and it is very difficult. "It is very difficult to continue to this level and I think it is a great thing and a beautiful memory for everyone who loves football."
