Barcelona star Lionell Messi claimed that there was no rivalry between him and Real Madrid counterpart Ronaldo and that the fake story has been cooked up by the sports media.
Messi and CR7 have been dominating the football world by sharing between them all FIFA Player of the Year awards since 2008 and are known as the world's best two footballers ever since.
"There are no hard feelings, and no rivalry, between us", Spanish club FC Barcelona's talisman Messi said on thursday as quoted by shortlist.com.
Messi said, "It's something the media invented. We both want to do well for our clubs, it is not Messi vs Ronaldo, it never has been."
The 27 year old Argentinan star also didn't forget to praise Ronaldo's former team-mate England's Wayne Rooney. He highlighted the England international, when asked which English players he thought could thrive in La Liga.
Messi was quoted saying, "If you look at the technical ability of a player like Wayne Rooney, he is as good as any player in Europe.Rooney has exceptional quality. Not just great technical ability, but also works very hard for his team. I'm sure Manchester United will never want to let him leave, though."
