Barcelona news: Lionel Messi furious with team-mate regarding Cristiano Ronaldo

BARCELONA star Lionel Messi is angry at Nelson Semedo after the defender refused to rate him higher than Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo, according to reports.

Barcelona star Semedo plays alongside Messi at the Nou Camp, and Ronaldo when on international duty with Portugal.
The defender was recently quizzed about which player he prefers most but, rather than dance to Messi’s tune, he instead opted to sit on the fence.
"Both are extraordinary and decisive, their numbers and their records say it all, playing against them is different, they have different characteristics, it's very easy to play with either, it's great to play alongside the best," the Barcelona ace said.
"There are not many who have that opportunity and I can boast of playing alongside the two best players in the world, now it only happens to me and André Gomes, we are privileged!
“It is difficult to say which of the two is better, both are from another planet and I am lucky to play with both of them.”

Yet Spanish website Diario Gol say Semedo’s words have not sat well with Messi.
The Argentina international has lost out on the Ballon d’Or award for the second year running, with Ronaldo scooping the prize after firing Real Madrid to La Liga and Champions League glory last season.
Messi also thinks that, at Real Madrid, players would back Ronaldo without a second thought.
Meanwhile, Semedo was also quizzed on a bust-up with Neymar before the Brazilian signed for PSG.
The two players had to be separated during a pre-season training session in Miami.

And Semedo reckons tempers boiled over because Neymar’s heart no longer belonged to Barcelona.
“The episode with Neymar didn’t harm me. It was a normal situation in training, but it took on another dimension,” the Portugal international added.
“It didn’t affect me because I had the support of all the team, and my friends. 
“I had only just arrived and one of the most influential players in the team started conflict with me after a normal training ground coming together.
“It made me uncomfortable at first, but I came to understand it. He was having a difficult time, he wanted to leave.”
