Cristiano Ronaldo didn't make it onto Lionel Messi's list of the five best players in world football right now.
Instead, the No.10 opted for Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, Eden Hazard, Luis Suarez and Sergio Aguero.
He was asked during an interview with Radio 94.7, choosing three players he has played with at some point as well as Mbappe and Hazard.
While he didn't select Ronaldo, he did have some praise for the No.7.
'It was nice to have Ronaldo in LaLiga for the prestige it brought, although it annoyed me whenever he lifted titles.'
'Today, there are very good players, Neymar, Mbappé, Suárez, Hazard, any of them could be the best in the world. But I took Cristiano of that group and put him alongside me, I swear', the player said during the interview.

The only thing that matters:- "It was nice to have Ronaldo in LaLiga for the prestige it brought, although it annoyed me whenever he lifted titles." It feels great when a Legend praises another Legend, it may be indirectly but when it comes from them it makes them true Gentlemen.

'but i took christiano off that group n put him beside me, i swear'.. .most of u all footballers dont understand simple English plz learn to read a statement to the end n try to understand it b4 start commenting. .messi named is top 5 best footballers ryt now, but he didnt put cr7 in the list bc he is not in the same level with the 5 players, so he (messi) took cr7 off the list n place him beside him..meaning that he n cr7 were at the same level, out of comparison with the level of mbappe, neymar hazard aguero n suarez..he dnt expect messi to include cr7 in thesame category with these players. messi n cr7 r of thesame category n no other player on earth could b included in that category..they cr7 n messi hav their own category..he swore

am a CR7's die hard fan,but hat off to LM10.He praises his fellow legend while acknowlwdging the shear truth that it hurts him when CR7 wins a trophies during his la liga stint. We should enjoy them while they last

Messi was right, he can't compare these new young stars with Ronaldo because he isn't in that category. Instead, he just mentioned those who are competing now. These other 2 have done a lot already. So Messi is saying the truth.

could u just stop with the comparison for a second and enjoy the privilege of being born in the era of these two stratospheric football player cox u will not have the chance to see anyone play like them again once they retire. we should praise them for their work, for putting so much effort in perfecting their skill and giving us a football show that we will never forget not stirring fire between them.

He did not praise himself, instead he praised others. This is called being humble.

Ronaldo scores 4 hat trick against Atletico under Simeone Messi = 0 Ronaldo scores hat trick against best defending team in worldcup Messi = 0 Ronaldo scores Bicycle kick and applauded by the fans of top team in Italy.. Messi applauded by fans of La Liga below average team. Ronaldo scores hat trick against Sweden when Zlatan was there.. Messi never perform under pressure Ronaldo can perform in any team which he is playing for. Messi range is Barcelona only..
