Messi: I Miss Ronaldo Rivalry In Clasico, La Liga

By Daily Sports on October 10, 2019

Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has said he misses his rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo and would have liked his fellow five-time Ballon d'Or winner to have continued in La Liga.

Ronaldo left Real Madrid as the club's all-time top scorer to join Juventus in a €100 million transfer in the summer of 2018. Since his departure to Turin, the two superstars have not faced each other.

"Yes, I would have liked for Cristiano to continue in the Spanish league, at Madrid," Messi said in an interview with Catalan radio RAC 1. "I think it gave an extra impetus to our rivalry, to the Clasico and to La Liga overall.

"I remember I said earlier this year that Madrid would notice Cristiano's departure, just as any other team would, but even so, they have enough players to be at the top and fighting for everything. It's Madrid and they have a lot of history."

Messi and Ronaldo have always contended for major individual honours, however the Argentina forward said this has never been his priority.

"I've never thought about finishing my career with more Ballon d'Or awards than Cristiano," he said. (ESPN)
