Despite intense competition between them in recent years, Barcelona star Lionel Messi praised his rival, Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo, calling him a “catalyst” to do his best.
In an interview with the Spanish channel “La Sixa”, Messi expressed his admiration for four players and athletes, who had motivated him to give his best.
Among the players, Messi considered that Ronaldo was pushing him to improve continuously, according to the Spanish newspaper “AS”.
According to Messi, the top 4 athletes who were catalysts for the Argentine star were Spanish tennis players Rafael Nadal and Swiss Roger Federer, as well as American basketball star LeBron James, along with Ronaldo.
Messi said: “I really like all athletes who stand out and leave everything to do their best.”
For nearly 10 years, Spanish stadiums witnessed frenzied competition between Messi and Ronaldo, before the Real Madrid star left for Juventus.
Notably, Messi recently managed to break Brazilian legend Pelé’s number in the number of goals for a team, after scoring 644 goals for Barcelona.
