Ronaldo had a surprising response to Messi question

Ronaldo spoke to press after Portugal’s match

Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo led his team to register their first win at the 202 FIFA World Cup on Tuesda against Uzbekistan.

The iconic player scored a brace in the match becoming the first ever player to score in six World Cups. The match ended with Portugal winning by 5-0.

After the match, Ronaldo addressed the media and spoke about his remarkable performance.

During the media talk, Ronaldo seemed to dodge a question about his career rival Messi, who recently became the all-ime lead scorer of World Cup.

In a video shared to social media by Fox Sports, it can be seen that the Portuguese star interrupted a reporter’s question as soon as he mentioned Messi.

The reporter began “Yesterday Lionel Messi scored two goals,” but was immediately cut off by Ronaldo who pointed to another person and said “Go ahead.”

During the same media talk, Ronaldo was questioned about the possibility of there being a possible match between Portugal and Argentina to which he said “I don't know how to answer that, but, well, it would be awesome.”
