"Messi? Next question" - Cristiano Ronaldo refuses to answer question about Messi

The entire world is eagerly awaiting the Ronaldo vs. Messi showdown at the World Cup.

Details: After a triumphant performance against Uzbekistan, where Portugal cruised to a 5-0 victory and Ronaldo himself bagged a brace, the 41-year-old Portuguese star declined to comment on Messi’s double in yesterday’s match. However, he did address the prospect of a potential Argentina-Portugal clash at this World Cup:

“Messi? Next question.” Ronaldo replied tersely.

When asked about a possible quarter-final encounter, Ronaldo elaborated:

“Facing Leo Messi at the World Cup? The question doesn’t make a lot of sense… but ok. It would be TOP.

But my focus was on today’s match. We won, I scored, and we keep moving forward together. I’m happy.” Ronaldo stated.
