CRISTIANO RONALDO’s rivalry with Lionel Messi is still going strong. But Paulo Dybala, a man stuck between the Juventus and Barcelona stars, has played it coy when asked about them.
Messi and Ronaldo’s rivalry is great claims Ferdinand
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are both team-mates with Dybala at club and international level.
The Juventus star plays alongside Ronaldo in Turin, with the duo forging an impressive partnership that has helped the Serie A giants to the league summit.
Dybala also struts his stuff alongside Barcelona forward Messi for Argentina, with the duo two key players for intern managers Lionel Scaloni and Pablo Aimar.
The Juventus forward has been asked three questions on his team-mates by BBC Match of the Day magazine.
When asked which of his team-mates he would have as his partner on FIFA, the popular video game franchise by EA Sports, he said: “I have never played FIFA with them, so I don’t know if they are good gamers.
“On the real pitch, I would like to have both of them with me – we’d make a great attack!”
Continuing to sit on the fence, Dybala was asked which of the duo he would rather cook for him.
He said: “Footballers have to be careful about food.
“I don’t think either of them, like me, are great cooks!”
