First, the Real Madrid forward explained in the build-up to the Champions League final just how much he enjoys watching the Barcelona No.10, before the Argentine responded with comments of his own.
FOX Sports Argentina when asked about
Messi.
"[Messi] is a 'crack', a star.
"I really enjoy watching him play."
In an interview with ESPN, Messi had some similarly high praise for the man he has shared the Ballon d'Or with over the past nine years.
"He is a phenomenal player with a lot of quality, who outdoes himself each year," Messi said of Ronaldo.
The ultimate test, however, will come at the next round of Ballon d'Or voting, as the players have previously refrained from voting the other as one of their top three.
It will be fascinating to see if their voting actions reflect this week's kind words.
