Cristiano Ronaldo: “I am best player ever”

Cristiano Ronaldo has once again backed himself as football’s greatest, insisting that no player in history is as complete as he is.

In an interview with El Chiringuito TV, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner declared:

“I am the best player ever, I believe that. I’m fast, I’m strong, [I score] with my header, with the left—no one has ever been more complete than me.”

Ronaldo, who holds the record for the most goals in professional football, emphasized that his numbers speak for themselves.

“If I finish on 920, 925 goals… it doesn’t matter to me at all. I am the best in history. Period. If I reach 1,000 goals, great. If not, that’s fine too. Numbers don’t lie.”

The Portuguese icon has played and won major titles in Portugal, England, Spain, Italy, and Saudi Arabia.

He has long been at the center of the greatest-of-all-time debate, and many believe he is.
