Al Nassr forward, Cristiano Ronaldo has stated that he’s the greatest of all time – GOAT.
Ronaldo, 39 gave reasons why he is ahead of Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona and Pele in a recent interview.
Ronaldo’s impressive career have put him in that conversation alongside eternal rival Messi, 1986 World Cup winner Maradona and Brazil icon Pele.
Ronaldo has five Ballons d’Or and countless major honours to his name, along with an impressive haul of records, and believes that he is more complete than Argentine superstar Messi – who has eight Golden Balls – and legendary forwards Maradona and Pele.
CR7 has told La Sexta when asked for his take on the GOAT discussion: “I think I’m the most complete player there has ever been. That’s my opinion.
“It could be a question of taste but I think it’s me. I do everything in football. I head well, I take set pieces well, I shoot well with my left foot, I’m fast, I’m strong, I jump.
“Taste is one thing, saying this, that or that, whether you prefer Messi, Pele or Maradona, I hear it and I respect it but to say that Cristiano isn’t complete is a lie. I’m the most complete. I don’t see anyone better than me and I tell you that with all my heart.”
