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.
