Cristiano Ronaldo shared his thoughts on his personal confrontation with Barcelona star Lionel Messi after the 3-0 win against the Catalans.
He says thar it is always difficult to play Barcelona away, they have a great team. But Juventus came to Camp Nou with the right attitude. They played great in the first 30 minutes, when they managed to score twice, and looked good in the second half, where Juventus scored again and won.
We always got along well. And if you ask Messi, he will tell you the same
For Ronaldo goals scored at Camp Nou are always special. Messi and Ronaldo have been competing on the field for 12-13 years, and it is always pleased to meet Messi. People often talk about their confrontation, but it is an honor for Ronaldo to fight against Messi. He always enjoys scoring goals when he plays against Messi. Goals are important, but the main thing for Ronaldo is to continue playing at the same level, because it is very difficult to keep the bar constantly.
Thanks to a confident victory over Barcelona (3: 0), Juventus scored 15 points in the matches of the group stage of the Champions League and managed to take first place in the group, ahead of the Catalans due to the best result in face-to-face meetings. Note that in this fight Ronaldo scored a double.
