Argentine soccer player Messi has expressed his opinion on Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Man Utd, reflecting on his rivalry with the Portuguese international.
What did Messi say about Cristiano Ronaldo?
Cristiano re-signed to Man Utd after 11 years of departure on the day of the summer transfer, and Juve let him go for an initial £ 20 million fee. Cristiano Ronaldo was as sharp as ever in front of Man Utd’s gates in the first half of the 2021-21 campaign, and the PSG superstar, who also made a big move in the summer, was impressed with his performances.
Lionel Messi said that Ronaldo already knew the club, but that was at a different stage and now he has adapted in an impressive manner. From the start, Cristiano Ronaldo scored goals as always and had no trouble adapting. Lionel also weighed in on Man Utd’s recent failure in form, with a 4-1 defeat to Watford last time leaving them seventh in the Premier League table and ultimately costing Solskjaer his job as manager.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward is confident that Man Utd fortunes will improve as the season progresses, given the individual quality in their ranks, adding that Man Utd is a very strong team with great players. According to Messi, the Premier League is a very tough competition and equal, and things can turn around many times. After December, a lot will change and anything can happen.
It was a very beautiful stage
Lionel joined Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer after leaving Barcelona at the end of his contract in June, completing his illustrious 21-year career at Camp Nou. The Argentine’s best years with Blaugrana came when Cristiano was in the books of Real Madrid, as the pair competed for the golden boots and Ballon d’Or awards season in, season out.
When asked if he missed the taunting against the Portuguese on the domestic scene, Lionel Messi replied that time had passed since they competed in the same league. they competed not only at the individual level, but also at the team level for the same purposes. According to Lionel Messi it was a very beautiful scene for them and for the people, because they loved it. This is a great memory that will remain in football history.
