Still, he insisted that he is the most complete player in history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I finish with 920 or 925 goals, it doesn\u2019t matter. I am the best player in history. Full stop. If I reach 1,000 goals, great. If not, that\u2019s fine too. Numbers don\u2019t lie. I am the most complete player ever.<\/p>\n<p>To say Cristiano isn\u2019t complete is a lie. I respect that, you may prefer Pel\u00e9, Messi, or Maradona. But I believe I am the best,\u201d Ronaldo stated in the viral interview.<\/p>\n<p>When asked why he sees himself as superior to his rivals, he said: \u201cI\u2019m fast, I\u2019m strong, I score with my head, my left, and my right foot. No one has ever been more complete than me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo, 39, also revealed that he was once close to joining Messi at Barcelona early in his career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore Manchester United, Barcelona wanted me. I was at Sporting Lisbon, and they tried to sign me. But then United came in, and that\u2019s where I went.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Portuguese forward has won five Ballon d\u2019Or awards and multiple major trophies, including the Champions League, Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A.<\/p>\n<p>The FIFA World Cup remains the only major title missing from his collection.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/12\/24\/ronaldo-names-four-best-players-in-football-history-excludes-himself\/\">Ronaldo<\/a> led Portugal to victory in Euro 2016 and the 2019 Nations League, cementing his legacy as one of the sport\u2019s greats.<\/p>\n<p>Over his career, he has played for Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent interview, Ronaldo declared himself the greatest football player, emphasizing he is the most complete player ever He acknowledged fans may prefer Messi or Pel\u00e9 but insisted his statistics prove he is superior to all rivals Al-Nassr striker Cristiano Ronaldo has declared himself the greatest football player ever.
