Cristiano Ronaldo, the world’s highest-earning footballer, has dismissed claims that his long-time rival Lionel Messi surpasses him in skill or legacy.
In a candid conversation with journalist Piers Morgan, the Al Nassr skipper rejected the notion that Messi stands as the greatest player in football history.
The 40-year-old icon, known for his relentless confidence, openly challenged comparisons favoring the Argentine maestro.
“People say Messi is better? I completely disagree,” Ronaldo declared. “Humility has its place, but facts matter more.”
The debate over football’s ultimate legend has raged for years, splitting fans and analysts alike. While both athletes boast staggering trophy collections, Messi’s eight Ballon d’Or awards edge Ronaldo’s five.
Their rivalry continues to define modern football, with each milestone reigniting discussions about supremacy in the sport.
