Ahead of Portugal’s UEFA Nations League final clash against Spain, Ronaldo shared insights on various topics.
As reported by Alfremartinezz and cited by Fabrizio Romano, Ronaldo mentioned Messi’s limited English proficiency and revealed he once acted as his interpreter.
Ronaldo emphasized their mutual respect, noting Messi has always been courteous toward him.
