We make each other better players: Ronaldo on Messi

Portuguese and Real Madrid superstar claims he is better than his counter part

Portuguese and Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo said that he makes Barcelona striker and his most touted rival Lionel Messi try and become better than he already is.

“Over the past year, our relationship has improved. I see him not as a rival but as a person," said Ronaldo, quoted by Bleacher Report.



"I see him as someone who makes me a better player and I make him a better player.”

Earlier, Ronaldo claimed that in his head he is the best in the world.

“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?,” said Ronaldo, quoted by AS.



“After that, being number one or number two 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.”
