However, despite winning the UEFA Champions League with Madrid and the European Championship with Portugal, the former Blaugrana believes Lionel Messi still the best player in the world. "They counted the major trophies but there are other years in which they didn't use that to award the best player in the world," Xavi told TV3. "Leo Messi is the best despite the trophies that someone else might have won." Xavi and Ronaldo have exchanged a war of words in the past, when the former commented on the debate about his former teammate and the Portugese. However, Ronaldo did not hold back with his response. "Everyone knows that anyone who wants to make the front pages has to talk about me. Xavi has not won a single Ballon d'Or. I have won three."
