Crouch Reveals How 'Naked' CR7 Trolled Messi.

Peter Crouch has divulged a revealing anecdote about how a naked Cristiano Ronaldo used to boast he was better looking than Lionel Messi in front of Manchester United's dressing room mirror.

In the Stoke City striker's new book, Crouch details stories told to him by Rio Ferdinand, a team mate of Ronaldo's for six seasons with Manchester United.

One of those stories details Ronaldo's rivalry with Lionel Messi as well as his dressing room habits during his time in England.

"Rio Ferdinand would tell us stories about how Cristiano Ronaldo would stand in front of the mirror naked, running his hand through his hair, and say, 'Wow. I'm so beautiful!'," Crouch said in his new book, as per the Daily Mail .

"The other United players would try to wind him up. 'Whatever. Leo Messi is a better player than you.'

"And he would shrug his shoulders and smile again. 'Ah yes. But Messi does not look like this...'"
