Barcelona and Real Madrid players do not regularly praise one another, but the Argentine made an exception for the Portuguese ace.
Lionel Messi hailed the quality of Cristiano Ronaldo after the Portugal star helped Real Madrid to retain their Champions League title.
The Barcelona icon and Ronaldo are often competing for the top team and individual honours in the world game, with the Madrid forward hot favourite to win his fifth Ballon d’Or in 2017.
That would see the former Manchester United star match the Argentina international after his side’s 4-1 final win over Juventus in Cardiff.
Messi, though, insisted the perceived rivalry between the pair is hyped up by the media and was happy to talk up Ronaldo’s ability.
