Cristiano Ronaldo: “I am the greatest player in football history”

In a recent interview, Portuguese football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo made some bold statements about his career and place in football history. The current Al Nassr player reflected on his achievements and shared his thoughts on various football-related topics.

When asked about who he considers the best player of all time, Ronaldo confidently stated, “I believe I’m the most complete player that ever existed. I excel in all aspects: heading, free kicks, left foot shooting, speed, strength. While people may prefer Pelé, Maradona, or Messi, I respect that. But to say Cristiano isn’t complete? I’m the most well-rounded.” He added, “Honestly, I think I’m the best player in history. I haven’t seen anyone better than me.”

Ronaldo also discussed his legacy in football, saying, “I’m the all-time top goalscorer. Despite not being left-footed, I’m in the top 10 for goals scored with the left foot. The numbers speak for themselves – I’m the most complete player ever.”

The interview covered various other topics, including:

  • His departure from Real Madrid
  • The intense rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona
  • His thoughts on the Ballon d’Or award
  • Opinions on current players like Mbappé and Bellingham
  • His potential retirement plans
  • Views on coaching and club ownership

Ronaldo’s statements have sparked debates among football fans and pundits worldwide, further cementing his status as one of the most talked-about figures in the sport’s history.
