I am the best player in the history of football – Cristiano Ronaldo

Portugal’s talismanic striker Cristiano Ronaldo has claimed that he is the best player in the history of football. There is no doubt that Ronaldo is one of the best players to have ever embraced the game and his record speaks for itself.

Ronaldo has scored a truckload of goals for both his country and clubs and has played for the best clubs in the world. The linchpin has also won many major trophies in his glorious career, including the biggest of Euro 2016.

The Portuguese star has so far scored nine goals and has provided two assists in 10 matches for Al-Nassr in the ongoing Saudi Pro League.

Speaking to GOAL Arab, he said: “I am the best player in the history of football.”

Ronaldo is well known for his confidence and after making the move to Al-Nassr, he claimed he has achieved everything which was to be achieved in European football and now he wanted to ply his trade in Saudi Arabia.

Ronaldo has scored 122 goals while playing for the national team.

Meanwhile, former Manchester United legendary striker Ruud van Nistelrooy opened up on his relationship with Ronaldo, during the latter’s first stint when he was a young player. The Dutch revealed he was accustomed of playing with David Beckham and Ronaldo’s arrival at Old Trafford did alter a few things.

He said on the Overlap show, “People talk about the Ronaldo situation a lot don’t they. I was frustrated at the time because I was used to playing with David (Beckham). It was telepathy, we knew exactly what he was going to do. Then Cristiano came and it was different. He was running everywhere he would dribble, he would be unpredictable.”

He further added: “It got a bit out of hand with that situation. I think the way we are in a relationship Cristiano and I is fine, now, in general. It’s been really blown up. It was an argument in training.”

Cristiano Ronaldo will be in action on April 4 when Al Nassr will take on Al-Adalah in an SPL away clash.
