What Messi and Ronaldo Say

"With what happened [Tuesday] with Cristiano and Juventus was really impressive," Messi told FCBarcelona.com. "It was a big [shock] for me because I thought Atletico was going to be stronger. But Juventus rolled over them and they've got a lot of potential. Cristiano had a magical night with a hat-trick."

Messi added: "There are some very good teams left like Manchester City, Juventus like I said. Ajax have got lots of great young players who aren't scared of anything. Liverpool has a lot of great players up front. Whoever we get, we take tricky."

Ronaldo said Juventus has champion mentality.

"It was always going to be a special night: and it was, not only for the goals, but for the team," Ronaldo told Juventus.com following his hat-trick vs. Atletico. "This is the mentality of champions, this is the journey to follow: we enjoyed a magical night. Atletico were a difficult team, but we were strong too. We will see what will happen..."
