Simeone expressed his viewpoint in June 2018 and, shockingly, didn't favor comrade Messi. After Argentina's 3-0 loss by possible other participants Croatia at the World Cup, he vented his contemplations to colleague German Burgos in a WhatsApp sound message.
"Messi is excellent however he is awesome on the grounds that he is joined by exceptional players," Simeone said in the spilled message.

After the third objective went in, Ronaldo copied Simeone's festival by signaling around his crotch and thrusting.It wasn't whenever Ronaldo first frustrated Simeone. He scored the last objective in Real's 4-1 win against Atletico in the Champions League last in 2014. He additionally scored the triumphant punishment in the shootout when the two groups met again on similar stage two years after the fact. Maybe these two will require "a great deal of balls" to fail to remember their wild competition.

Signals to the side, the main thing is the pair's thought process of one another. We definitely realize Simeone respects Ronaldo, and he will be feeling much better to realize the inclination is common. "He has a ton of fortitude," Ronaldo told Amazon of Simeone. "I like individuals like that."
The inquiry is whether Simeone and Ronaldo dare to fail to remember the last's profound association with Real. Might Ronaldo at any point reasonably leave his heritage at the Santiago Bernabeu destroyed and United hanging? It very well may be one of the greatest choices of his profession.
