Christiano Ronaldo has declared himself GOAT, saying that he is complete player with many capabilities that outclass other great players.
Cristiano Ronaldo says he is unique because of his flexibility. His ability to control aerially, score with both feet, outstrip defenders, and excel in set pieces makes him different. He thinks this fullness makes him fit for the first. Although Lionel Messi has four more Ballon d’Ors, Ronaldo argues that his general skills make him superior.
“Who’s the best goal-scorer in history? It’s about numbers. Period,” he said.
“Who’s the player in history who’s scored most goals with their head, their left foot, penalties, free-kicks? I was looking the other day, and not being left-footed, I’m in the top 10 goal-scorers with their left foot in history. And with my head, and with my right foot, and penalties. All of them.
“I’m talking about numbers. 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.
“One thing is taste — if you like Messi, Pele, Maradona, I understand that and I respect that — 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 never playing for Barcelona, Ronaldo has always had a special connection with Camp Nou, “I loved playing at Camp Nou. Every time I stepped on the pitch, I was booed, but I preferred scoring there more than at the Bernabeu,” said Ronaldo.
