On the last day of the Champions League group stage, FC Barcelona did not cover themselves with glory and suffered a significant bankruptcy against Juve around superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. Even before the duel, ex-Juventus director Miralem Pjanic was asked to compare CR7 and Lionel Messi.

The Bosnian, who has spent the past two seasons alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at the Bianconeri and has been under contract with Barça since last summer, is looking for a diplomatic response.
“As a person and as a player, he’s spectacular. He’s a real athlete who takes care of all the details,” praised Pjanic Cristiano Ronaldo. He said of Lionel Messi: “He’s an alien. He’s an absolute phenomenon, all of that with him Ball can make. “
Only with time will it be possible to fully appreciate what Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have achieved in the last 20 years, the playmaker continued.

Against his old companions, Pjanic was allowed to start alongside Frenkie de Jong in defensive midfield – in contrast to most of the previous games of the 2020/2021 season, in which Pjanic had to sit on the bench.
The free kick specialist is not satisfied with the role as a joker. “To be honest, I don’t understand the reason for this situation. I want to play more, I know that I can give a lot,” explains the 30-year-old. “When I was needed, I did my job.”
