Cristiano Ronaldo gave a rare insight into his relationship with his once biggest rival, Lionel Messi.
Perhaps no one in soccer has had more battles than Ronaldo and Messi. Whether the two greats were competing on the pitch in La Liga or off the pitch for the Ballon d'Or, they were always pitted against one another. Ronaldo and Messi took turns breaking records and lifting trophies, but they never found themselves on the same side in any competition.
Much has been made about their relationship over the years, but a preview of Ronaldo's upcoming interview on Spanish TV show, "El Chiringuito" finally sets the record straight.
"I have never had a bad relationship with Messi," Ronaldo said. "It’s quite the opposite."
