"As a kid, I practically hated Ronaldo because he was rival to Lionel Messi" - Paulo Dybala

Paulo Dybala of Roma has acknowledged telling Cristiano Ronaldo once that he "hated" him.
Dybala and Cristiano Ronaldo won two Serie A championships, an Italian Cup, and two Italian Super Cups during their three years at Juventus from 2018 to 2021.

'La Joya' disputes reports that Dybala and Ronaldo did not get along when they were teammates in Turin.

In light of his nation's backing for CR7's opponent Lionel Messi, Argentine star Dybala said Ronaldo he had "hated" him as a youngster, but added that they had "always been on good terms."

He said: 'I spent three nice years with Cristiano, the team was very strong and he added something more.

'There's a big rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo in Argentina. Once, we were flying out for a game, I was sitting at the back of the plane and he was slightly ahead.

'At some point, he came to me, we spoke about life in general for a while, and I told him: "As a kid, I practically hated you."

'We laughed about it and we've always been on good terms.'

Ronaldo, a 38-year-old Portuguese veteran, left Juventus in the summer of 2021 to return to Manchester United, where he played for one and a half seasons before having his contract terminated as a result of a bombshell interview with Piers Morgan in which he criticized the team.

He now represents Al-Nassr of Saudi Arabia, who are currently ranked second in the Saudi Pro League.

While Dybala departed Massimiliano Allegri's team last summer when his contract expired on a free transfer, joining another Italian powerhouse Roma.

He has made 34 appearances for Jose Mourinho's team, who are now sixth in Serie A, and has 16 goals in all competitions.
