Cristiano Ronaldo Declares Himself the “Most Complete Player” Ever in Football
Cristiano Ronaldo, the legendary forward currently playing for Al Nassr, has boldly declared himself the “most complete player to have existed” in the world of football. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner made these statements in light of the ongoing comparisons with his longtime rival, Lionel Messi.
At 39 years old, Ronaldo continues to defy expectations, recently adding to his record as the highest men’s goalscorer in football history with 923 goals, including a brace during Al Nassr’s impressive 4-0 victory over Al Wasl in the AFC Champions League.
“I’m talking about numbers,” Ronaldo stated confidently. “I think I’m the most complete player to have existed. In my opinion, I think it’s me. I do everything well in football: with my head, free kicks, left foot. I’m fast, I’m strong.”
Throughout his illustrious career, Ronaldo has faced constant scrutiny and comparison with Messi, as both athletes have battled for the title of the best player in the world. While acknowledging the preferences of fans who support Messi, Pelé, or Diego Maradona, Ronaldo insists that the statistics strongly support his claim to greatness.
“One thing is taste — if you like Messi, Pelé, Maradona, I understand that and I respect that,” he said. “But saying Ronaldo isn’t complete… I’m the most complete. I haven’t seen anybody better than me, and I say it from the heart.”
Despite his age, Ronaldo shows no signs of slowing down and has not expressed any intentions of retiring from club or international football. His remarkable resilience and dedication to the sport continue to inspire fans and fellow players alike.
