He recently revealed this despite Lionel Messi’s sensational performances for Argentina at the ongoing World Cup in Qatar, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, one World Cup does not make Messi a GOAT, so no matter what happens in Qatar, Ronaldo is the greatest footballer to ever exist.
He added that he’ll be pitching his tent with the Portuguese because he never remained in his comfort zone like his Argentine rival.
His words, “On that I will always put up a very passionate and quite forensic defence of Ronaldo. I think he deserves that title.”
“One World Cup does not a GOAT make. Messi hasn’t even won it yet!”
“When you look at the stats between Ronaldo and Messi, it’s important to remember Ronaldo is two years’ older.”
“It’s also important to remember that, unlike Messi who stayed in his Barcelona comfort blanket for 17 years, Ronaldo has won league titles in four different countries, including the three most competitive leagues in the world.”
“He’s taken himself out of comfort zones – he could have stayed at Real Madrid for most of his career if he wanted to, but he’s deliberately taken himself into new leagues and new challenges.”
“Whereas Messi, he’s only ever done it for Barcelona, and there all around him the entire time were the world’s greatest players. Ronaldo has often had to lead that line pretty much on his own.”
