The Portuguese star doesn&#8217;t usually give interviews, but he gave this journalist a chance to speak candidly. Although it won&#8217;t be released in full until November 4, this small &#8220;teaser&#8221; already addresses the question that will once again spark the eternal debate among fans around the world: Is Messi better than Cristiano Ronaldo?<\/p>\n<p>The Portuguese star answered candidly. A journalist asked him, &#8220;People say that Messi is better than you. What do you think?&#8221; To this, Cristiano answered clearly without hesitation: &#8220;Is Messi better than me? I don&#8217;t agree with that opinion. I don&#8217;t want to be humble.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__summary\">\n<figure class=\"ue-c-article__media ue-c-article__media--video  video-dailymotion\"><figcaption class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__media-description\">Ramin Yamal and Nicki Nicole end their relationship, fans&#8217; dreams are shattered<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"ue-c-article__blockquote\">\n<p>I don&#8217;t agree with that opinion.

Some say Messi is the best. Some say Cristiano is the best. However, the former Real Madrid player&#8217;s own words cannot be disputed.<\/p>\n<p>In the one-minute preview, Piers Morgan can be seen asking Cristiano questions and problems, and Cristiano responds with body language. One of them mentions his former Manchester United teammate Wayne Rooney in relation to this subject. Journalists recall that the Englishman opined that Messi was a better player than the Portuguese, but Cristiano bluntly replied: &#8220;I don&#8217;t care about that.&#8221; These statements show that other people&#8217;s thoughts don&#8217;t really affect him and he is rather focused on continuing to perform on the field.<\/p>\n<p>Another highlight from the preview is when CR7 was asked about becoming the first billionaire sportsman a few weeks ago. To this, Al Nasr football player laughed and replied: &#8220;That&#8217;s not true, I became a millionaire many years ago.&#8221; Cristiano has made that clear, as have many of the Portuguese star&#8217;s fans, and the debate will continue in schools, stadiums and soccer fields around the world.
