"Barcelona" leader Lionel Messi commented for the first time on the main football transfer of last summer, when his famous rival Cristiano Ronaldo moved to the Turin "Juventus" club. According to the Argentine, the royal team weakened, while the chances of Italians to triumph in the Champions League - grew. "I was surprised when he decided to leave. I never imagined Cristiano leaving Madrid or joining Juventus. Many clubs wanted the Portuguese. "Real" is one of the best teams in the world, having a great lineup, but of course, without Ronaldo they will not be as good, and the Turin club is one of the clear favorites to win the Champions League", Messi said.
