Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have long been considered the best players in the world

He and Messi went head-to-head for the best part of 10 years in the battle to be regarded as the world’s best footballer, and after claiming five Ballon d’Or’s each, their duopoly of the award was ended by Luka Modric.Messi has spent the entirety of his decorated career with Barcelona since making his first-team debut in 2004, but Ronaldo has urged his rival to leave the Nou Camp. “I’d like him to come to Italy one day,” Ronaldo told the Italian press. “I hope he accepts the challenge like me, but if he’s happy there then I respect that.”Asked if he misses Messi, the 33-year-old jokingly replied: “No, maybe it’s him who misses me.“I’ve played in England, Spain, Italy, Portugal and for my national team, while he’s still in Spain.“Maybe he needs me more. For me, life is a challenge, I like it and I like to make people happy.2

Ronaldo has continued his form with Juventus

“He’s a fantastic player and a good guy, but I don’t miss anything here. This is my new life and I’m happy.“I left my comfort zone and took on this challenge here in Turin. Everything has gone well, I’ve proven I’m still an incredible player.”Ronaldo has made a fantastic start to his Juventus career having scored 11 times in 19 matches in all competitions.
