Cristiano Ronaldo’s obsession with Messi. A THREAD with some of his quotes through the years
November 2008: "I’m the best player in the world, the second best player in the world and the third best player in the world. There are some more good players in the level behind me like Kaká, Torres and maybe Messi a bit, but I did all it takes to be the best".

@Messievsky He’s the biggest passer to the assister I’ve seen (pre-assist), if that makes sense. His relatively lesser assist numbers are somewhat deceiving because his job wasn’t to provide the end product (mostly). He’s not a KDB. That final pass/action was pretty much Messi’s role.
@Messievsky Also he had decisive & winning passes in 4 different champions league finals. So many important & underrated assists/passes, like the one to Pedro in the Clasico SF. When he had the opportunity to do the killer pass, he did it perfectly.
