Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has
refused to be drawn into comparing himself with Real Madrid counterpart
Cristiano Ronaldo, insisting that he only focuses on improving his own
game, Soccernet reports.
Messi, 27, scored his 68th Champions
League goal in Barcelona’s 3-2 Champions League defeat to Paris
Saint-Germain on Tuesday to close in on Raul’s record tally of 71,
though Ronaldo responded with a goal of his own in Real Madrid’s 2-1 win
at Ludogorets Razgrad on Wednesday to leapfrog the Argentine into 69.
The four-time Ballon d’Or winner is
expected to contest Ronaldo for the 2015 title in January’s ceremony but
Messi insists that he is more concerned about winning trophies for Luis
Enrique’s side, rather than individual honours.
Asked whether he felt he was the best in
the world at Barcelona’s official presentation with new sponsor
Gillette, Messi said, “I do not know what my place in the history of the
game will be, neither do I even think about it. I’m just focused on
continually improving and winning more.
