“I am the greatest complete player in football history,” – Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo

While he respects supporters who favor Lionel Messi, Pelé, or Diego Maradona, Cristiano Ronaldo has proclaimed himself “the best complete player to have existed,” and statistics back up his assertion.

With 923 goals, the 39-year-old five-time Ballon d’Or winner is the highest-scoring player in men’s football history and holds several other records. His most recent goal came in a brace when Al Nassr defeated Al Wasl 4-0 in the AFC Champions League on Monday.

Who is history’s greatest goal scorer? It has to do with numbers. “Full stop,” Cristiano Ronaldo said in a lengthy interview on Monday with the Spanish television program El Chiringuito.

Who of the greatest goal scorers in history has used their head, left foot, penalties, or free kicks? Despite not having a left foot, I was looking the other day and found that I am among the top 10 left-footed goal-scorers in history. In addition, I use my head, right foot, and penalties. Every one of them.

Throughout his career, Ronaldo has been frequently compared to Messi, who is vying for the title of greatest of all time.

Cristiano Ronaldo said, “I am talking about numbers.” I consider myself the greatest complete player who has ever lived. I believe it is me. In football, I excel at everything: left foot, free kicks, and head. I am powerful and quick.

“I understand and accept your taste if you like Messi, Pelé, or Maradona, but claiming Ronaldo is not comprehensive. The most complete is myself. I genuinely believe that I am the best person I have ever seen.

Ronaldo is still very competitive and has no immediate plans to retire from club or international football, even though he is 39 years old.

He remarked, “I am so competitive that sometimes I forget what I have done.” “Because it inspires me to work harder and perform better each year … That, in my opinion, is what makes others different. If I were someone else, I would have quit football ten years ago. I am different.

Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United to join Al Nassr in 2023, making him one of the first elite players to join the Saudi Pro League.

When questioned about the caliber of the league, he responded, “People do not know, they give their opinion, and they talk too much.”

It is unfortunate because when people discuss the United States and Arabia, they are discussing a different reality. Is soccer in the Major Leagues worse? Of course, but since it is Arabia, it is inconsiderate. They have no idea what they are talking about. You have to show respect for the players who are present.

He also pondered on his departure from Real Madrid in 2018, claiming the club “didn’t behave well with him” during contract negotiations, but he is open to returning to the Bernabéu after his career.
