Messi: Cristiano Is A Predatory Striker, Any Day He Plays He Will Score

Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has lauded his supposed rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who is now at Juventus, for being a “predatory striker”.

Messi made the remarks when asked about Ronaldo’s performances by Mundo Deportivo. Said, Messi:

It’s normal that he continues to score, he is a predatory striker, he loves to score, any day he plays he will score.

He has many good attributes as a forward and at the minimum, he converts.

Ronaldo has scored in 11 straight Serie A games for his Italian club despite turning 35 this month and has an impressive 24 goals to his name this season.

Meanwhile, Messi himself has struck 14 times across just 19 La Liga games this season for the Blaugrana.
