Real Madrid star, Cristiano Ronaldo, has ripped ex Barcelona midfield maestro, Xavi Hernandez apart in reaction to the latter's comments.
Xavi had during the week said Ronaldo was unlucky to be playing in the same generation as Lionel Messi.
“Ronaldo is a player of his time," he'd said. "The problem is that there is another who has been pretty much the best player in history. Ronaldo is extraordinary but compared to Messi, for me and for everyone who likes football, there are no comparisons.
“Messi will be number one until he wants [to stop]. He’s superior to everyone and is the best in the world, unless you are Real Madrid.”
"Only a fool could have played football and not recognize Cristiano is an elite footballer. But he just has had bad luck to be around at the same time as Leo.'
Reacting on Saturday evening, Ronaldo said: "The most searched for player on the Internet is me. Those that want to appear on front covers [of newspapers] or promote things speak about me.
"What does it matter to me what Xavi says? He plays where? In Qatar or [somewhere], I don't know. He's won everything but he's never won a Ballon d'Or. I have three.'
