Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi seem to be getting on just fine without each other.
Since his summer move to Juventus, Ronaldo has scored 11 goals in 19 appearances as the Turin club sit eight points clear at the top of Serie A, while they’ve also reached the last-16 of the Champions League.
He’s been embracing life in his new surroundings, while Messi has been enjoying life in his old ones.
The Argentine scored two free-kicks in the same La Liga game for the first time ever in Saturday’s 4-0 win at Espanyol, taking his tally to 17 in 17 this season.
Barcelona are top of La Liga too, three points clear of second-placed Sevilla, and so things are looking up for both of modern football’s dominant icons of the last decade.
So does Ronaldo miss playing against him?
Well in short, no.
