Barcelona
manager, Ernesto Valverde, has said that Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Juventus,
could be a turning point in his rivalry with Lionel Messi.
Barcelona
and Real Madrid’s encounters were taken up a notch following Ronaldo’s move to
the Bernabeu in 2009 and Ronaldo and Messi have won every Ballon d’Or for the
last decade.
“Ronaldo’s
departure would seem to have ended the competition between Leo Messi and
Cristiano Ronaldo because people rarely mention one without mentioning the
other,” Valverde told Barca Magazine.
“A lot of
people are interested, me too, to see how it will affect Real Madrid’s football
and what they might do in the transfer market, and also knowing that Ronaldo is
at another club and what that might mean for LaLiga and the Champions League
too.”
Clubs in
Spain have until August 31 to sign new players.
