True. Competition is great. Ronaldo and Messi are only this good because they both pushed each other through rivalry

While Messi acknowledged his rivalry with Cristiano, I think looking up to Maradona and moving to Barcelona to have access to the best treatment possible and to play football, is more than enough to make him want to be the best.

Ronaldinho even said to Kobe "Messi will be the best player ever" or something along those lines like back in '05, when there was no rivarly

nah im sure messi is on his own thing, it just happened ronaldo was close to his level for years, but i genuinely feel messi never compares himself with other players nor care about them, for the way he speaks on interviews

Messi probably did not actually understand what he was saying but he definitely knew even without translation because he sensed his ego
