Cristiano Ronaldo: Lionel Messi is great, but I'm most complete

Cristiano Ronaldo said he is "the most complete player to have existed," saying he respects fans who prefer Lionel Messi, Pelé or Diego Maradona, but arguing that statistics back up his claim.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner, 39, has broken a host of records during his career and is the highest men's goal scorer in football history with 923 goals, the latest coming in a brace in Al Nassr's 4-0 AFC Champions League win over Al Wasl on Monday."Who's the best goal scorer in history? It's about numbers. Full stop," Ronaldo told Spanish television show El Chiringuito in an extensive interview on Monday.

"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."

Ronaldo has faced constant comparisons with Messi throughout his career, as both battled to be recognised as the best player on the planet.

"I'm talking about numbers," Ronaldo said. "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.""Who's the best goal scorer in history? It's about numbers.

At 39, Ronaldo still isn't contemplating retirement from club or international football.

"I'm so competitive that sometimes I forget what I've achieved," he said, "Because it gives me motivation to do more and do better every year ... I think that's the difference with others. Somebody else in my position would have left football 10 years ago. I'm different, full stop."

Ronaldo was one of the first elite players to move to the Saudi Pro League when he left Manchester United and signed for Al Nassr in 2023.

"People don't know, they give their opinion, they talk too much," he said, when asked about the quality of the Saudi league.

"It's a shame, because it's a different reality when people talk about Arabia and the USA. [Is Major League Soccer worse?] Obviously, but as it's Arabia, it's disrespected ... People don't know what they're talking about. With those [players] who are here, you have to respect it."

Ronaldo discussed his departure from Real Madrid in 2018, saying the club "didn't behave well with him" in contract negotiations, but said he wouldn't rule out a return to the Bernabéu one day when his career ends.

He praised Madrid star Jude Bellingham, saying the England midfielder "reminds me of [Zinedine] Zidane."

"Zidane was brilliant, beautiful," Ronaldo said. "Bellingham is 21, he has his whole future ahead of him. The lad will be a top player."

Cristiano Ronaldo finally opens up about his relationship with Lionel Messi

Cristiano Ronaldo addressed his relationship with Lionel Messi, surprising fans who may have had a different perception of their dynamic.

For nearly two decades, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have been direct rivals. Despite their careers now unfolding nearly 12,000 kilometers apart, the debate over who is the best player in the world continues, with no end in sight.

Even today, the rivalry endures, with both stars representing major leagues in soccer: Major League Soccer and the Saudi Pro League. While neither of these leagues is considered the best in the world, the conversation has shifted to which one is more competitive.

However, beyond the 20 years of playing in entirely different worlds, Cristiano Ronaldo, contrary to what many fans might believe, clarified that his relationship with Messi is cordial. When asked by Eduardo Aguirre of El Chiringuito if he had ever had a bad relationship with Messi, Ronaldo responded without hesitation.

“I’ve never had a bad relationship, quite the opposite,” Ronaldo said. This snippet is just a preview of a full interview with the Al Nassr captain, which will be published on Monday,February 3.Cristiano Ronaldo’s respect for Lionel Messi

Ronaldo had previously expressed his respect for Messi during a press conference in September 2023 during a press conference when asked about whether there was “hatred” between the two. “I don’t see it that way, the rivalry is over. It was good, the fans liked it. Those who love Cristiano Ronaldo don’t have to hate Messi. We’re both very good, we changed the history of soccer,” Ronaldo explained.

Maintaining that sentiment, he added, “We are respected all over the world, and that’s the most important thing. He does his thing, I do mine. He’s done well, from what I’ve seen. He continues, the legacy goes on. I don’t see the rivalry that way. I’ve said it before, we shared the stage for 15 years and ended up being, not friends, but professional colleagues, and we respect each other”.

When Lionel Messi paid tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo

After winning his eighth Ballon d’Or, Lionel Messi gave an interview to France Football where he spoke about Cristiano Ronaldo. “It was always a ‘battle,’ in quotes,” Messi said. “On the field, it was very nice, we fed off each other because we’re both very competitive. He always wanted to win everything and everyone. It was a beautiful time for us and for everyone who loves soccer“.

“I think what we did for so long is very commendable,” Messi continued. “It’s easy to get to the top, but the difficult part is staying there. We stayed at the top for almost 10-15 years. It was very hard to maintain. It was spectacular, and I have great memories, as does everyone who enjoys soccer”.

7 forgotten Man City academy graduates who became cult heroes elsewhereManchester City have produced plenty of world-class players over the years, although not all of them make the grade at the Etihad

For every Phil Foden, there are countless examples of other City academy graduates who forge a career for themselves elsewhere.

We’ve looked beyond the obvious names that City have produced in the past and have found seven of them who became cult heroes elsewhere.

Jadon Sancho

Sancho established himself as one of the most exciting talents in Europe during his time at Borussia Dortmund.

He looked destined to be the one that got away, but his travails in the red half of Manchester mean that few at City look back with regret at letting him go now.

Far from the England reckoning these days, and with his Dortmund heroics slipping further from memory, Sancho is currently performing inconsistently at Chelsea.

Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi[note 1] (Spanish pronunciation: [ljoˈnel anˈdɾes ˈmesi] ⓘ; born 24 June 1987) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for and captains both Major League Soccer club Inter Miami and the Argentina national team. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, Messi set numerous records for individual accolades won throughout his professional footballing career such as eight Ballon d'Or awards and eight times being named the world's best player by FIFA.[note 2] He is the most decorated player in the history of professional football having won 45 team trophies,[note 3] including twelve Big Five league titles, four UEFA Champions Leagues, two Copa Américas, and one FIFA World Cup. Messi holds the records for most European Golden Shoes (6), most goals for a single club (672, with Barcelona), most goals (474), hat-tricks (36) and assists (192) in La Liga, most matches played (39), assists (18) and goal contributions (34) in the Copa América, most matches played (26) and goal contributions (21) in the World Cup, most international appearances (191) and international goals (112) by a South American male, and the second-most in the latter category outright. A prolific goalscorer and crcreative playmaker, Messi has scored over 850 senior career goals for club and country.

Born in Rosario, Argentina, Messi relocated to Spain to join Barcelona at age 13, and made his competitive debut at age 17 in October 2004. He established himself as an integral player for the club within the next three years, and in his first uninterrupted season in 2008–09 helped Barcelona achieve the first treble in Spanish football; that year, aged 22, Messi won the first of his four consecutive Ballons d'Or, the first player to win it four times. During the 2011–12 season, he set La Liga and European records for most goals in a season, while establishing himself as Barcelona's all-time top scorer. The following two seasons, he finished second for the Ballon d'Or behind Cristiano Ronaldo, his perceived career rival, before regaining his best form during the 2014–15 campaign, where he became the all-time top scorer in La Liga, led Barcelona to a historic second treble, and won a fifth Ballon d'Or in 2015. Messi assumed captaincy of Barcelona in 2018, and won a record sixth Ballon d'Or in 2019. During his overall tenure at Barcelona, Messi won a club-record 34 trophies, including ten La Liga titles and four UEFA Champions Leagues, among others. He signed for French club Paris Saint-Germain in August 2021, where he would win the Ligue 1 title during both of his seasons there. Messi joined American club Inter Miami in July 2023, and set a new mark for most goals scored for the club by his second season.

An Argentine international, Messi is the national team's all-time leading goalscorer and most-capped player. His style of play as a diminutive, left-footed dribbler drew career-long comparisons with compatriot Diego Maradona, who described Messi as his successor. At the youth level, he won the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship and gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics. After his senior debut in 2005, Messi became the youngest Argentine to play and score in a World Cup in 2006. He assumed the national team's captaincy in 2011, and then led Argentina to three consecutive finals: the 2014 FIFA World Cup, the 2015 Copa América and the Copa América Centenario, all of which they would lose. After initially announcing his international retirement in 2016, he returned to help his country narrowly qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which they would again exit early. Messi and the national team finally broke Argentina's 28-year trophy drought with a victory in the 2021 Copa América, where he was named the tournament's best player and which later helped him win his seventh Ballon d'Or that year. He then led Argentina to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup, his country's third overall world championship and first in 36 years. This followed with a record-extending eighth Ballon d'Or in 2023. A second Copa América victory with Messi as captain came in 2024.

Messi has endorsed sportswear company Adidas since 2006. According to France Football, he was the world's highest-paid footballer for five years out of six between 2009 and 2014, and was ranked the world's highest-paid athlete by Forbes in 2019 and 2022. Messi was among Time's 100 most influential people in the world in 2011, 2012, and 2023. In 2020 and 2023, he was named the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year, the first team-sport athlete to win it. In 2023, Messi was named Time's Athlete of the Year, and in the following year was bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 2020, Messi was named to the Ballon d'Or Dream Team and became the second footballer and second team-sport athlete to surpass $1 billion in career earnings.

Early life

Messi was born on 24 June 1987 in Rosario, Santa Fe Province,[21] the third of four children of Jorge Messi, a steel factory manager, and his wife Celia Cuccittini, who worked in a magnet manufacturing workshop. On his father's side, he is of Italian and Spanish descent, the great-grandson of immigrants from the north-central Adriatic Marche region of Italy, and on his mother's side, he has primarily Italian ancestry.[3] Growing up in a tight-knit, football-loving family, "Leo" developed a passion for the sport from an early age, playing constantly with his older brothers, Rodrigo and Matías, and his cousins, Maximiliano and Emanuel Biancucchi, both of whom became professional footballers.[22] At the age of four he joined local club Grandoli, where he was coached by his father, though his earliest influence as a player came from his maternal grandmother, Celia, who accompanied him to training and matches.[23] He was greatly affected by her death, shortly before his eleventh birthday; since then, as a devout Catholic, he has celebrated his goals by looking up and pointing to the sky in tribute to his grandmother.[24][25]
