"There aren't many players who won five Champions League trophies, so this is why I feel that I can identify myself with this tournament"

Axar.az reports citing Skysports that Cristiano Ronaldo claims the difference between him and Lionel Messi is that the Portuguese has "won the Champions League with different clubs".

The 34-year-old has five Champions League titles to his name, lifting one in 2008 with Manchester United, and four in five seasons with Real Madrid from 2014-2018.
The Portugal national team captain has eclipsed multiple records in Europe's top club competition too, including the highest number of European Cups won by any player, and the most goals during a Champions League season (17 in 2013/14).
