The five-time Ballon d’Or winner believes he is the most complete footballer in the history of the sport.
The former Real Madrid and Manchester United star is convinced that he is very much ahead of his long-time rival Lionel Messi and other football greats like Pele and Maradona.
CR7 disclosed this in a recent interview with Spanish journalist Edu Aguirre, which was released on Monday, February 3.
“Who’s the best goal scorer in history? It’s about numbers. Full stop,” the Portuguese international said.
“Who’s the player in history who’s scored the 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, Pelé, 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.”
