Ever since CR7 and Lionel Messi left Europe, many expected their rivalry to also dwindle down. While both have been banging in goals and performances in their respective leagues as usual, the novelty of the leagues is acting as a barrier for people to compare the duo. CR7 also realized this and officially ended the rivalry from his side. He believed that despite the impact and competition, the rivalry has run its course.
Speaking before the Euro Qualifier against Slovakia, CR7 said: “The rivalry is gone. It was good, the spectators liked it. Those who like Cristiano Ronaldo don’t have to hate Messi and vice versa. We’ve done well, we have changed the history of football. We are respected all over the world; that’s the most important thing.”
