Cristiano Ronaldo has declared himself the greatest footballer in history, claiming he is the most complete player ever. Despite admiration for Messi, Maradona, and Pele, Ronaldo insists no one surpasses him. With multiple league titles and international trophies, he continues to solidify his legacy in football.
Cristiano Ronaldo has confidently stated that he is the greatest footballer of all time. During an interview with journalist Edu Aguirre, the Portuguese star declared himself the most complete player in football history, surpassing other icons like Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, and Pele.
Ronaldo acknowledged that fans may have a preference for these legends, but he emphasized that his achievements make him the best in the sport. “I believe I am the most complete footballer ever,” Ronaldo said. “I respect the admiration people have for Messi, Maradona, and Pele, but I haven't seen anyone better than myself in football history. This is the truth from my heart.”
The 38-year-old, currently playing for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, has amassed numerous accolades throughout his career, including five Ballon d’Or trophies and multiple league titles in England, Spain, and Italy. Ronaldo’s international achievements are also notable, with victories at the UEFA European Championship 2016 and the UEFA Nations League 2019 with Portugal.
However, despite his extraordinary career, Ronaldo has yet to win the FIFA World Cup, a major honor that has sparked debate over his place in football's history. His latest claim has caused a stir among football fans, reigniting the debate about who truly holds the title of the greatest of all time.
