Barcelona Star Leo Messi Speaks On Cristiano Ronaldo’s Move To Juventus

Barcelona Star Lionel Messi has reacted to the departure of his rival, Cristiano Ronaldo from the Spanish La Liga.

Ronaldo was finally unveiled on Tuesday in Turin after Real Madrid agreed a £105m deal with Juventus.

The Portuguese told reporters he joined the club because he is different from other players.

Ronaldo also spoke on his rivalry with Messi after joining the Italian Champions.

Asked about his rivalry with Messi, Ronaldo replied, “I do not see other players as rivals, that’s not who I am.

“It was a good challenge with Messi. All of you liked it and it was interesting.

“But I never saw it as a rivalry. You always want to give it your all for your team.”

Speaking on Ronaldo’s departure from the league, Messi, who refused to join his national teammates to Argentina but headed back to Barcelona after the World Cup, told reporters, “I wish him well.“Italy is fine. Juventus have always been in Europe, with great players.

“He did a lot for Real. But I think it was his personal decision to leave. He [Ronaldo] brought a lot to the game in Spain. He’s a great player.”

Asked about the rivalry between him and Ronaldo, Messi added, “The media create those rivalries. I give my best for my team, so did he for Real.”
