Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo says his Ballon d'Or obsession isn't over.

Ronaldo is determined to finish with more such titles than Barcelona rival Leo Messi.

"Messi is a fantastic guy," he said on ITV. “A fantastic player, he is in the history of football.

“But I think I have to have six, seven or eight, more above him, I think.

“What I said [about going for a meal], many people are surprised by.

“But my relationship with him is - we are not friends, but we share the stage for 15 years.

“I have good relationship with him, and I know that he pushes me to be the best I can be and I push him to be the best that he can be.

“Yes, for sure [he's the best I've played against]."
