The Juventus star believes being in constant competition with the Argentine star has helped make him the player he is today
Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo believes his "healthy rivalry" with Barcelona counterpart Lionel Messi during his time in La Liga made him a better player.
Both men have won the coveted Ballon d'Or five times and are considered to be two of the greatest players of all time.
Ronaldo spent nine years with Real Madrid prior to joining Juventus in 2018 and Messi recently acknowledged the pair spurred each other on in their quest for individual honours.
