I'm not competing against Cristiano: Lionel Messi refused to be compared with Cristiano Ronaldo

Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has refused to be drawn into comparing himself with Real Madrid counterpart Cristiano Ronaldo, insisting that he only focuses on improving his own game.
Messi, 27, scored his 68th Champions League goal in Barcelona's 3-2 Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday to close in on Raul's record tally of 71, though Ronaldo responded with a goal of his own in Real Madrid's 2-1 win at Ludogorets Razgrad on Wednesday to leapfrog the Argentine into 69.
The four-time Ballon d'Or winner is expected to contest Ronaldo for the 2015 title in January's ceremony but Messi insists that he is more concerned about winning trophies for Luis Enrique's side, rather than individual honours.
Asked whether he felt he was the best in the world at Barcelona's official presentation with new sponsor Gillette, Messi said: "I do not know what my place in the history of the game will be, neither do I even think about it. I'm just focused on continually improving and winning more.
"I'm not competing against Cristiano or anyone. I just do my job -- I want to win titles."
