“I’d like him to come to Italy one day. I hope he accepts the challenge like me, but if he’s happy there then I respect that. Maybe he needs me more. For me, life is a challenge, I like it and I like to make people happy. He’s a fantastic player and a good guy, but I don’t miss anything here. This is my new life and I’m happy.”

Since leaving La Liga Ronaldo has been continually asked to discuss Messi – and vice versa – and earlier in the season set the Barcelona star a challenge.

Weeks later, Messi finally responded to the former Real Madrid star’s challenge in an interview .

The Barcelona ace said, “Accepting Ronaldo’s challenge to join Italian football? I don’t need any change.”
