Ballon d’Or: Messi not obsessed with Ronaldo – Pique

During their Ballon d’Or-winning rivalry, former Spain defender Gerard Pique said Lionel Messi was never “obsessed” with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Compared to Ronaldo’s five wins, Messi has taken the trophy eight times.

Pique, who partnered with Messi at Barcelona and Ronaldo at Manchester United, maintains that the Argentine superstar was indifferent to his rival’s success.

Pique told talkSPORT: “He wasn’t that type of guy. He was very team-focused, although he was getting all the first page in all the newspapers and radios and TV.

“At the end of the day, he was very close with all of us and he was just focused on winning titles like the Champions League and these kinds of things. At the end of the day because he was the best.

“Then he was winning the Ballon d’Or but it wasn’t something that was a priority for him.”
