Real Madrid star and also one of the favourites for the 'World Footballer of the Year' Award Cristiano Ronaldo while speaking to beIN Sport, said:
"...Messi is a great player. [We have] a professional relationship like I have with other players."
Here's full excerpt of his interview:
"It's not just now, it's the last five years - it's always the same.
"I cannot change that. I don't work in the press, I don't work in television. They love doing that.
"What am I going to do? I have to do my work, I have to train, I have
to score, I have to play, I have to try to help my team all the time
and not think about that.
"Messi is a great player. [We have] a professional relationship like I have with other players.
"I'm not a friend of him because we don't share the same dressing
room and do not go out for dinner, but I respect him as a professional."
Ronaldo also joked about him and Messi teaming up for Los Merengues, saying: "Play with Messi? Why not?
"No problem - if he comes here we'll play together, but me going there is more difficult."
