Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken about his rivalry with Lionel Messi and said that playing in La Liga against the Argentine's Barcelona side helped to make both players better.
The Juventus forward talked to France Football (h/t Marca) about his rivalry with Messi during his nine years in Spain with Real Madrid.
"A lot of people said that we fed each other, that being together in Spain made us better. That's certainly true, I felt his presence more in Madrid than in Manchester. It was a healthy rivalry.
