Cristiano Ronaldo outshone Lionel Messi as Juventus beat Barcelona 3-0 to win Champions League Group G.
The Juventus striker blasted two penalties on Tuesday night and Weston McKennie got the other as Messi and his struggling Barca team made up the numbers at the Nou Camp, but progressed to the last 16.
Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo said it’s always lekker to outscore the only man who has more awards than him.
He says: “Scoring here is always special for me. With Messi we have shared the last 12-13 years of our lives. It’s always good to face him.
“Obviously people speak of our rivalry but for me it is always a privilege to face him and obviously I’m happy to score when I face him.
“I feel very good, goals are important but I want to continue working like this because it’s not easy to keep the same standards all the time.”
Meanwhile, Dynamo Kiev beat Ferencvaros 1-0 to end third in the group and qualify for the Europa League.
