“Would I have liked to play with CR7? Of course. Play with exceptional players, him or like Messi. When we talk about Cristiano we talk about Messi. I played with a lot of great players…Neymar, Pogba, Griezmann, Benzema…I think it would have been cool to play with him, but it will be difficult now. I played against him several times, he is a legend of the sport. I have a very good relationship with Messi. I never thought I would play with him. It is unique like CR7 and I think we have sometimes trivialized what they did. They are sports legends”he said.
A nice tribute from him. Now, the French striker hopes to emulate the Portuguese star at Real Madrid. The captain of the Blues wants to mark the history of the club like his elder. However, he will have to be more than regular and efficient to get closer to the legendary Madrid number 7.
