Ronaldo claims to be the best in history. |
“The best in history is me, period. The numbers speak for themselves,” Cristiano Ronaldo told El Chiringuito .
“People can like Messi, Maradona or Pele and I respect that but saying that Cristiano is not complete is a lie. I am the most complete player”, the Portuguese superstar continued to affirm himself in an interview with LaSexta channel.
In addition to claiming to be the best player in history, Ronaldo also criticized Major League Soccer, the tournament Messi participated in, for not being as good as the Saudi Pro League.
Ronaldo’s statement immediately received backlash from netizens, especially from Lionel Messi’s fan community.
“Ronaldo was right, the numbers don’t lie. 8 Ballons d’Or prove Lionel Messi is the greatest player ever,” commented TM . Sharing the same opinion, SDAC user said: “Agreed, the numbers show that Ronaldo is the best scorer in history but the player with the greatest influence is Messi.”
“The player with the most titles, the player with the most Golden Boots, Golden Balls, is enough for Messi to beat Ronaldo, if only counting the numbers,” another account said.
“What I remember about Ronaldo is just meaningless statements”, nickname Floyd mocked the superstar born in 1985.
Ronaldo thinks he is the best player in the world. |
The “numbers” Ronaldo mentioned are the 923 goals in his illustrious career, most of which were scored for Real Madrid and Manchester United. CR7’s goal before retiring is to reach the 1,000-goal mark.
Not only that, the Portuguese superstar is also the player with the most goals in the history of international football. At 39 years old, he is still showing an amazing performance, with 23 goals in 25 appearances for Al Nassr this season.
