Messy games: Has Cristiano Ronaldo called Messi a motherf****r?

Madrid: Cristiano Ronaldo came out blazing and this time not on the football field to quash the news that he nicknamed Lionel Messi a m**********r.

Ronaldo, on his facebook page posted.

UK based newspaper Daily Telegraph carried a news saying, “Ronaldo, perhaps as a symptom of the immaturity that marks so many footballers, thinks it necessary to put on a brave face in front of his team-mates, not be scared of Messi and to rise to the challenge. All very macho; all very false.

And that is why, according to some Real Madrid players, CR7 has a nickname for him: ‘motherf----r’; and if he sees someone from the club speaking to Leo, he also ends up being baptised ‘motherf----r'.

In that environment, Ronaldo usually compares their relationship with that between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. And the Madrid players, with their less than subtle dressing-room sense of humour, have a long list of jokes that include Messi as Ronaldo’s dog or puppet, or kept in a designer handbag belonging to the Portuguese player. And much worse.”

While the rivalry between the duo is highly discussed and one of the most fiercest, neither of them have made any crude remark against eachother in the past. In fact, they have always been cordial with one another in public.
