bothered by his rival's achievements in
2015 and says his mentality has allowed
him to become one of the world's greats
Cristiano Ronaldo believes that he is the
best player in the world ahead of Lionel
Messi.
The Real Madrid forward has been battling
for top spot with the Barcelona star and
has won the Ballon d’Or ahead of the
Argentine for the past two years.
Messi heads into this year’s ceremony
having won the treble with Barcelona, but
when asked about his rival’s achievements,
Ronaldo told El Pais: ”It doesn’t bother me.
“If you look back over my past eight years,
I’ve always been at the peak; and that is
difficult. Name me someone else who has
done it? After that, being No.1 or No.2 is a
matter of small details, such as if you win
trophies or not.
“Perhaps for you, Messi is the best; in my
head, I am the best – and everyone should
think that about ourselves. That is why I
have been able to achieve so much in my
career.
“It was hard for me to watch Messi picking
up several Ballon d’Ors. I’d be thinking,
‘Why should I go to the gala?’”
