“I’m very happy for Ronaldo” – Messi

 

Argentina forward Lionel Messi, has said he was very happy to see Cristiano Ronaldo fire Portugal to next year’s World Cup and added that he was dreaming of winning the competition with his country.....

“Certainly, to win the World Cup is a dream for me, my teammates and all of Argentina,” he told selected media at a private press conference on Wednesday. “We are doing well – we need to improve a couple of things, but there are still seven months until the tournament starts. Hopefully we can win there, but a lot of nations can do it.”

Speaking about Ronaldo, who scored all four of Portugal’s goals in the 4-2 aggregate victory over Sweden, Messi said: “I was very happy for him when he scored those goals,” Messi said. “It’s just great when the best teams compete in Brazil, and Cristiano has had a great scoring rate for many years now. He plays at an outstanding level.

“I don’t know if this is Cristiano’s best moment, but he is always there, scoring goals in all the games and playing his part for his club and his country. He has been like that for many years. Whether he is at his best, or a bit below that, there is almost no difference.”
