Her preference for the Portugal star doesn't mean she doesn't respect Argentina's World Cup-winning talisman Lionel Messi.

He said because of the atrocities that are said without any mercy. Can't have a role model or favorite player?

It doesn't mean that I hate Messi. He has no objection to getting Ronaldo's tattoo done.
