This is the moment when Messi showed respect to Ronaldo.
In an interview, Messi was asked, “Who is the best player in the world without you?”
Messi replied, “There are many great players like Neymar, Mbappé, Eden Hazard, and Agüero. I think one of them could be the best if I didn’t exist.”
Then, the journalist added, “It seems like you forgot someone. He wears the number 7 jersey.”
Messi smiled and said, “Ronaldo? I didn’t mention him because he is on the same level as me.”
