Real Madrid star, Cristiano Ronaldo has taken on former Barcelona midfielder, Xavi following his comments claiming Lionel Messi is superior.
Xavi had stated last week that even though Ronaldo is an “extraordinary” player, he cannot be compared to Messi as the Argentine is on another level.
Ronaldo was not impressed by the midfielder’s dig and stated Xavi is merely trying to make headlines, adding the 36-year-old’s individual trophy cabinet is no match for his.
Ronaldo told reporters, “Everyone knows that anyone who wants to make the front pages has to talk about me.
“Xavi has not won a single Ballon d’Or. I have won three.”
Ronaldo came back from a knee injury to score as Madrid beat Osasuna 5-2 on Saturday and the Portugal star was pleased to have made his comeback after two months on the sidelines.
He added, “I am feeling well physically and could have played 90 minutes without problems.”
“But I was still feeling a bit of fear at certain moments. That’s only normal after a spell on the sidelines.
“I have gained rhythm, scored a goal and got a good feeling. Everything is great.”
