Lionel Messi praised Cristiano Ronaldos scoring prowess in an interview published on Thursday. A day after picking up a Golden Boot award for scoring 46 league goals last season – more than any other player in Europe – the 26-year-old Barcelona player paid respect to his Real Madrid rival. I dont know if Cristiano Ronaldo is at his peak, but he is always there scoring goals in all the games and taking part in his club and national side, Messi told Spanish sports daily Marca and other European sports journalists. He has been doing that for many years, and whether he is at his peak or a bit below it makes no difference. Ronaldo netted a hat-trick on Tuesday as Portugal qualified for their fourth straight FIFA World Cup, and he tops La Ligas scoring chart this season with 16 goals in 13 matches. Injuries and future Messi has 11 goals from eight games in the league this campaign, but has been sidelined for up to eight weeks with a muscle tear in his left hamstring muscle, his third leg injury this season. The Argentinian brushed off comments in the media about his injuries, following some criticism that he should have paced himself better. What they say about the injury did not worry me and does not worry me because I am used to people talking and saying many things not only about the injury but about pretty much everything, he said.
