Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t very kind to Lionel Messi behind closed doors reportedly giving him the nickname, “motherf***er.”

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the two best soccer players in the world. It just so happens that Argentina and Portugal play next week in a high-profile international soccer friendly at Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United in England. The two players have always been known to not be particularly fond of the other, but they’ve both kept it respectful in person. It looks like behind closed doors, Ronaldo is not being quite the gentleman.

The Telegraph in England published an excerpt from author Guillem Balague. The excerpt begins detailing how the two soccer superstars are cordial to each other in public, but later reveals Ronaldo’s nickname for Messi in the Real Madrid locker room:

"“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’.”"

That’s not all, it seems that Madrid players and Cristiano Ronaldo like to really slam Lionel Messi in the locker room talking saying Messi is like Ronaldo’s pet.

"“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.”"

Lionel Messi currently holds eight world futbol records compared to one that Cristiano Ronaldo holds, which coincidentally is shared by Messi. It looks like Lionel Messi should just keep letting his feet do the talking, and it’ll be interesting to see how both players react to the news in next week’s international friendly.
