CR7 amemisi kweli kucheza tena na Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo has said he hopes to have dinner with Lionel Messi sometime in the future after saluting their “good relationship” despite their longstanding rivalry.
Messi and Ronaldo have been seen as the top two players in football for over a decade, with the pair managing to form a monopoly on Ballon d’Or for 10 years, winning five each.
But seated next to each other at the UEFA Champions League draw, the pair were seen conversing and appeared to enjoy one another’s company.
When asked about it prior to the naming of the UEFA Men’s Player of the Year, Ronaldo was full of praise for his rival, as well as admitting he hopes the pair can get dinner some time in the future.
“We shared the stage for 15 years, me and him,” Ronaldo said at the Champions League draw. “I don’t know that it’s ever happened in football, the same two guys, the same stage, all the time. It’s not easy.
“We have a good relationship. We’ve not had dinner together yet, but I hope [we will] in the future.
“Of course I miss playing in Spain – we’ve had that battle the last 15 years, which is good. It pushed me and I pushed him as well.
“It’s good to be part of the history of football. I’m there and of course he’s there as well.”
