Many say that the rivalry of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi make both continue to maintain consistency at the top level. But for Ronaldo, rivalry with Messi is not an obsession that continues to exist in his mind.
Ronaldo managed to win the Ballon d'Or trophy for the fifth throughout his career. This individual record of achievement is the same as Messi's. Since 2008, there is not a single player outside Ronaldo-Messi who can get the trophy.
Many people argue Ronaldo greatness and Messi continues to awake due to intense competition both. But Ronaldo insists he is not too obsessed with competition against Messi.
"I did not think about it too much even though I am aware of it," Ronaldo said as quoted by Marca.
"The greatest motivation in my career is myself, I fight against myself and to outdo myself," Ronaldo continued.
Despite winning five Ballon d'Or titles, Ronaldo stated that he remains unsatisfied.
"I always want to win, and to be the best, then a player must continue to fight," said Ronaldo.
The success of Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or this year can not be separated from his big role to bring Real Madrid won the Champions League and La Liga. Ronaldo also won the Champions League final with his two goals against Juventus.
