"In the "La Liga" championship, the ongoing duel between two superstars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo was interrupted last summer when the Portuguese decided to move to Italy.
As the leader of "Barcelona" now told the press, he nostalgically remembers past matches, and these matches used to be exceptional.
"Competition with Ronaldo was very beneficial and interesting for fans," - the Argentine spoke to the publication "Marca".
L. Messi did not want to raise more discussions about the "Golden Ball" awards, where he ended up only fifth.
"I heard who is in contention to receive the award and I knew I am not among the candidates," - the forward responded, stating that there are more important things in life for him than football.
"I love this game, but above all is family."
