“No, it was nothing,” the striker replied, speaking to Clarin.
“Messi and I have laughed together about everything that’s been said. All it takes is a look or a hug to say a lot of things, there’s no need to say anything.
“We spoke, as is natural, before the World Cup final. We talked after the World Cup too, he greeted me with a hug and we talked about football for two hours.
“I said before the Champions League final: Messi is the best in the world, and no-one can do the things he does. You can’t compare him with me, or anyone else.
“‘Messi and Tevez are friends’ doesn’t sell newspapers. ‘Messi and Tevez are enemies’ will.”
