Ronaldo Talks About His Longtime Friendship and Respect for Lionel Messi
Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has opened up about his long-standing relationship with Argentine and Inter Miami star Lionel Messi. For over 15 years, the two have been the biggest names in football, dominating the sport and sharing an incredible 13 Ballon d’Or awards between them.
Now in their late 30s and early 40s, Ronaldo and Messi remain not only football’s top earners but also among the highest-paid athletes worldwide. With Portugal set to face Spain in the UEFA Nations League final on Sunday, Ronaldo shared some insights ahead of the match.
According to reports from Alfremartinezz and Fabrizio Romano, Ronaldo revealed that Messi isn’t fluent in English and that he once acted as the Argentine’s translator at award ceremonies. Despite their rivalry, Ronaldo spoke warmly about their mutual respect, saying Messi has always treated him well.
“Of course I have affection for Leo Messi. We’ve shared the spotlight for 15 years,” Ronaldo said. “I remember helping him with English at the Galas because he wasn’t fluent. He always showed me respect and kindness.”
