The five-time Ballon d’Or winner declared this when asked for his take on the GOAT discussion in an interview with Edu Aguirre on Spanish television show El Chiringuito.
Honestly, I have never seen anyone better than me. I believe I am the most complete player to ever exist. I can do it all in football. I’m good with heading, I strike free kicks well, I shoot well with my left foot, I’m fast, and I’m strong. Personal preferences vary; some prefer Messi, Pelé, or Maradona. I understand and respect that. But to say Cristiano isn’t complete is a lie. I am the most complete.

Ronaldo, who holds the record for the most goals in professional football, is currently aiming for the milestone of 1,000 goals. He emphasized that his numbers speak for themselves.
“If I finish on 920, 925 goals… it doesn’t matter to me at all. I am the best in history. Period. If I reach 1,000 goals, great. If not, that’s fine too. Numbers don’t lie.”
