‘Ronaldo and I have no relationship, I doubt we will be friends’ – Messi

They are the two best football players on planet earth at the moment and has dominated football's individual awards in the last nine years, but surprisingly, they are not friends.

Argentina and Barcelona star, Lionel Messi has expressed his doubts whether he and Cristiano Ronaldo will ever be friends.

The two greatest players of their generation, if not of all time both play for Spain’s two biggest clubs which means they are always rivals on and off the pitch.

I do not know if we will be [friends]m” he told Marca .

Friendship is something that is built through spending time together and getting to know each other.

We have no relationship, but mostly because we only see each other in the awards ceremonies and it is the only time we speak. At that moment everything is fine, but then we do not cross paths again.

Messi made the comments following the presentation of his fourth European Golden Shoe award last week.

Messi scored 37 league goals last season to win the award.
