El Clasico matches were must-watch games due to Ronaldo and Messi’s on-field rivalry. Messi and Ronaldo’s La Liga battle ended last year when CR7 left Real Madrid for Juventus in the summer.
Barcelona chief Bartomeu also revealed that they are not planning on letting Messi walk out on the Nou Camp club any time soon.
“There will be another renewal of Messi, not this year. We have Messi for many more years. He is the best player in history,” Bartomeu added.
