Ramos has finally introduced himself and explained: “My relationship with Messi is excellent. There is great respect between the players and a healthy state of mind.”
“It is a privilege to have him on the team. It is much worse to have him against you, I suffered against him for many years,” Ramos added.
The Spanish central defender also praised Lionel Messi for playing at the best level. He considered the Argentine as one of the best in the world. The duo won their first Ligue 1 title together last season.
Now they are off to a great start in their title defense. Paris Saint-Germain have won eleven of their first thirteen games. With thirty-five points they are currently at the top of the Ligue 1 table.
PSG will now face Lorient in their next match.
