Cristiano Ronaldo sees his rivalry with Lionel Messi as a positive and sees nothing wrong with being compared to the Barcelona attacker. This is part of my life, Ronaldo told World Soccer when asked what his thoughts on the rivalry with Messi are. It is normal that people compare us. I am used to it. It happened to me at Manchester United and I know how to manage it. We are football colleagues. Outside of football I have no relationship with Messi, but not with other players either. It is a positive rivalry. The 29-year-old, who shared the Golden Boot with then-Liverpool forward Luis Suarez (now also a Barca player) after scoring 31 goals in La Liga, suggests the last 12 months might just have been the best of his career prize-wise but does not believe his own ability has shot up significantly. Individual prizes are the result of having achieved collective objectives, Ronaldo added. We had a fantastic season. We won the Champions League, the Copa del Rey and the Uefa Super Cup. A trophy like the Golden Boot is the prize for playing well as a team. I will not lie. I really wanted to win it. Maybe it has been the best for collective or individual prizes. But I have been at the same level for the last six or seven years. #L1
