Cristiano Ronaldo has taken aim at Xavi following the former Barcelona midfielder's comments claiming Lionel Messi is superior to the Real Madrid star.
Xavi stated this week that even though Ronaldo is an "extraordinary" player, he cannot be compared to Messi as the Argentine is on another level.
Ronaldo was not impressed by the midfield maestro's dig and suggested he is merely trying to make headlines, adding the 36-year-old's individual trophy cabinet is no match for his.
"Everyone knows that anyone who wants to make the front pages has to talk about me," Ronaldo told reporters.
"Xavi has not won a single Ballon d'Or. I have won three."
"I am feeling well physically and could have played 90 minutes without problems," he added.
"But I was still feeling a bit of fear at certain moments. That's only normal after a spell on the sidelines.
"I have gained rhythm, scored a goal and got a good feeling. Everything is great."
"If I was the president, I would renew my contract for 10 more years," he concluded.
The 31-year-old's existing deal is due to expire in 2018.
