Portugal and Al Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo has declared himself the most complete footballer ever, citing his record-breaking achievements and versatility on the pitch.

Speaking in an interview with Spanish show El Chiringuito, the 39-year-old emphasized his scoring prowess across all aspects of the game.

“Who’s the best goal scorer in history? It’s about numbers. I rank among the top 10 left-footed scorers despite not being left-footed. I excel with my head, right foot, free kicks, and penalties. I do everything well in football,” he boasted.

Acknowledging personal preferences for legends like Messi, Pelé, and Maradona, Ronaldo insisted that his all-around ability sets him apart.

“I haven’t seen anyone better than me,” he stated.

Despite his age, Ronaldo remains highly competitive and has no plans to retire, saying his drive to improve keeps him going.

“Someone else in my position would have quit 10 years ago. I’m different,” he added.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Filip Jorgensen is now the club’s first-choice goalkeeper, replacing Robert Sanchez after a string of costly errors.

The 22-year-old Jorgensen, who started in Chelsea’s 2-1 win over West Ham, was given the nod as Maresca looks to stabilize the squad’s form.

While Sanchez returned for the FA Cup loss to Brighton, Maresca clarified that the decision was to aid his recovery, but Jorgensen remains his preferred option.

Despite recent struggles, Chelsea remains fourth in the Premier League, with Maresca optimistic about securing Champions League qualification.
