"Juventus" forward Cristiano Ronaldo had the opportunity to remember the taste of forgotten battles. Portugal once again fought in the "Camp Nou" stadium against "Barcelona" and returned to Italy with his head held high - the opponents in Catalonia were defeated 3-0. After the match, the star spoke respectfully about his eternal rival Lionel Messi. "I have never seen him as my enemy. He tries to give his team all his power, as do I. We always maintained very good relations, and football created competition between us," clarified C. Ronaldo. About the win, the forward said: "The most important thing is that we started the match very well. We had to score three goals, and we did. The team needs good results against such great teams like Barcelona. No matter what, they will always be 'Barcelona'."

Always great to return to Spain and to Catalunya, always hard to play in Camp Nou against one of the best teams I ever faced. Today we were a team of Champions! A true, strong and united family! Playing like this, we have nothing to fear until the end of the season... Let's go! pic.twitter.com/PivPpJ3SLh - Cristiano Ronaldo (@Cristiano) December 8, 2020
