Gonzalo Higuain played with Ronaldo up until he departed for Napoli in 2013, and it is alleged today that he let rip about his ex-colleague in an interview with 'Don Balon'.
The Argentina international reportedly dismissed any talk of Ronaldo being Lionel Messi's equal, and took a sly dig at the Real Madrid man's sense of self-importance:
"He has a lot of ego. If you don't say he's the best, he's not your friend. Cristiano thinks he's the best but he's overrated. "I've shared a dressing room with Messi and one is nothing like the other."Naturally enough the comments caused a major sh*t-storm across the continent, but Napoli have issued a statement claiming that the striker did not give any such interview and the quotes are made up...
It seems a bit strange that a publication would just fabricate an entire interview, so perhaps there is more to it than meets the eye.Explore more on these topics:
