Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has once again declared himself the greatest footballer of all time, backing his claim with record-breaking statistics and an illustrious career. Now playing for Al Nassr at 40 years old, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United forward spoke with confidence about his footballing legacy.
Ronaldo: "Numbers Don’t Lie"
During an interview on El Chiringuito, Ronaldo made his stance clear:
"Who is the greatest goal scorer in football history? It all comes down to numbers. Period."
He continued:
"Who has scored the most goals with their head, left foot, penalties, and free kicks? I was checking recently, and despite not being left-footed, I rank among the top 10 left-footed goal scorers in history. The same applies to headers, right-footed goals, and penalties. Across all categories."
"I Am the Most Complete Player Ever"
Ronaldo went on to explain why he believes no other player matches his all-around ability:
"When we talk about numbers, I believe I am the most complete footballer ever. In my opinion, I am the best. I excel in every aspect of the game—headers, free kicks, both feet. I am fast, strong, and possess all the attributes required for greatness."
He added:
"Of course, it’s a matter of preference. If you prefer Messi, Pelé, or Maradona, I understand and respect that. But to say that Ronaldo isn’t a complete player? No. I am the most complete. I haven’t seen anyone better than me, and I say this from the heart."
With these bold statements, Ronaldo continues to spark debate among football fans worldwide. Do you agree with his claim?
