In the game of football, Cristiano Ronaldo has openly acknowledged that his biggest rival, Lionel Messi, is superior to him in one key aspect: his left foot. Ronaldo, who recently reached the remarkable milestone of 920 career goals, admitted that Messi’s left foot is “better” than his own. This confession dates back to the 2015 Ballon d'Or ceremony, where Ronaldo was asked about his rival's skills. At the time, he said and as reported by Sports Tak
"His left foot is pretty good—better than mine. I'd like to have his left foot."
During the same event, Neymar humorously interrupted, suggesting he'd take both of Ronaldo's legs, while Messi gave a subtle response, expressing admiration for Ronaldo's qualities without admitting any envy. Messi further elaborated that he respected Ronaldo’s abilities but believed envy was a negative trait. He also stated that both players have individual styles.
Ronaldo’s comment came shortly after he declared in an interview with the BBC that, in his mind, he was always the best, despite acknowledging Messi's superiority. Ronaldo’s comments sparked much discussion about the friendly rivalry between the two footballing legends, both of whom have a combined 12 Ballon d'Or.
