Cristiano Ronaldo did not impress by the achievements of his main competitor for the Ballon d'Or, Lionel Messi, in 2015. According to the Portuguese, he is the best player in the world.
"I don't care," - said the leader of Madrid's "Real" when asked about the Argentinian's trophies.
"Look at the past eight years - I have always been at the peak of my career and it was difficult to maintain such a level. Please, name another player who has achieved this. And then, based on minor details, such as winning trophies or not, decide who deserves to be the first and who deserves to be the second.
Maybe to you Messi is the best, but in my mind only one thought bugs me - that's it. Every person should think about themselves similarly, that's why I have achieved so much throughout my career.
It was hard to see Messi receive one Golden Ball after another. Then I thought: "Why should I go to the awards ceremony?".
