Since Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real Madrid and has been forced to watch as Lionel Messi not only runs rampant against his team, but wins league titles and personal awards while doing so, many have assumed growing resentment from Ronaldo aimed at his Argentine rival.
Well, Ronaldo would like to tell you that that's just not true and that he hates Messi no more than any other footballer who isn't him.
From Soccernet:
"I don't have an obsession or a direct rivalry with Messi," Ronaldo told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "I feel the same way about other players. But, one thing is certain: I want to be the best of all footballers.
"I don't envy Messi at all. My priority is to win La Liga and the Champions League with Real Madrid, not Ballon d'Or awards."
That's right. He doesn't care about Ballon d'Ors, only La Liga titles and Champions League wins. Which, you know, all happen to be things Messi also has.
The proof lies in Ronaldo's own house. He doesn't have pictures and statues of Messi up all over the place. No, no. Architect Jo Torres told Spanish TV that Ronaldo has his own initials sewn into his pillows and cushions. He also has a CR logo above his front door and a sofa in the shape of a C. So if he's obsessed with anyone, it's definitely himself.
