Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed why he thinks he is the Greatest Player of All Time in a recent interview.
In a candid interview with La Sexta, Portuguese football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has boldly asserted his position as the most complete player in football history, reinforcing his claim to the coveted “Greatest of All Time” status.
“I think I’m the most complete player there has ever been,” declared Ronaldo, who backs his statement with an impressive array of statistics and achievements. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner pointed to his versatile skill set, emphasizing, “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.”
The numbers certainly support his assertion. With over 900 senior career goals, Ronaldo stands as one of football’s most prolific scorers. His trophy cabinet boasts 33 major honours, including five UEFA Champions League titles and seven league championships across different countries. He also holds the record for most goals in Champions League history with 140 strikes.
While acknowledging other football legends like Messi, Pelé, and Maradona, Ronaldo remained firm in his conviction. “Taste is one thing, saying this, that or that, whether you prefer Messi, Pelé or Maradona, I hear it and I respect it,” he stated, before adding emphatically, “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.”
The Portuguese icon’s remarkable career has seen him excel at prestigious clubs including Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, while also leading his national team to victory in both the UEFA European Championship and the UEFA Nations League. His four European Golden Shoes further testify to his exceptional goal-scoring prowess.
As the GOAT debate continues to divide football enthusiasts worldwide, Ronaldo’s unprecedented achievements and sustained excellence across two decades make him a compelling candidate for the title of football’s greatest player of all time.
