00:00Cristiano Ronaldo knows exactly what football means to Argentines.
00:04His rivalry with Lionel Messi has divided opinions for more than two decades.
00:10And while both stars have always insisted their relationship is nothing more than competition on the pitch,
00:16fans continue defending their favorite with everything they've got.
00:20So when a flight attendant looked at him during a flight and quickly looked away,
00:24Cristiano felt he already knew what was going on.
00:28To him, that look could only mean one thing.
00:31She was Argentine and probably wasn't his biggest fan.
00:36Instead of taking it personally, Ronaldo simply smiled.
00:40The Portuguese star understands how deeply Argentines live football,
00:44especially since Georgina Rodriguez was born in Buenos Aires,
00:48and he has experienced that culture up close.
00:50Ayer en el vuelo, una de las azafatas era argentina.
00:55Yo sabÃa, yo sabÃa que era argentina por la manera que me miró.
00:59Yo ha dicho, esto seguro que tú eres argentina.
01:02Y él, ¿cómo sabes? Yo, la manera que me miraste.
01:05Y él, ¿cómo te miré?
01:06Yo me miraste y desviaste los ojos muy rápido.
01:09Eso quiere decir que no les gusta cristiano.
01:12Me ha dicho asÃ, pero después, en plan de broma,
01:15mi mujer es argentina.
01:17Obviamente que tengo que tener un cariño especial por los argentinos también.
01:21Rather than seeing it as an insult,
01:24Cristiano took it as another chapter in the football rivalry
01:27that has fueled the debate over the world's best player for years.
01:32And with one simple smile,
01:34he made it clear there is no bad blood between him and the Argentine people.
