"The leader of Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo, claims to be a better footballer than Lionel Messi. Although the Argentine scored 72 goals last season and achieved a world record, the Portuguese assured that he surpasses him.
In an interview with CNN, C.Ronaldo said: "Some say one thing, some say another. However, if we had to evaluate this day, I believe I am better."
He continued: "Sometimes it bothers me, and Messi feels the same way. We are constantly compared. But you can't compare a Ferrari with a Porsche - they are different cars. I think competition pushes both of us forward. No wonder the Barcelona and Real teams are the strongest in the world."
In the Spanish championship, Portugal scored 46 goals in 38 matches.
