Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo insists there's no personal rivalry with Barcelona's Lionel Messi. Ronaldo has been named the 'best player in Europe' by UEFA.
"You cannot please everyone, it is normal. I have to respect all opinions, my life does not depend on what people think," said Ronaldo regarding Messi.
"Nobody is better or worse. Everyone does their job and tries to give the best for their team or country. Both of us want to be the best. I believe that in my profession I am the best and I work hard for that. In my head I always think I'm better."
