However, Dybala emphasized that despite this initial sentiment, they have consistently maintained a good relationship.
"I spent three nice years with Cristiano, the team was very strong and he added something more.
"There's a big rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo in Argentina. Once, we were flying out for a game, I was sitting at the back of the plane and he was slightly ahead.
"At some point, he came to me, we spoke about life in general for a while, and I told him: "As a kid, I practically hated you.
"We laughed about it and we've always been on good terms."
