Cristiano Ronaldo Rejects Claim Messi is Superior in New Interview
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – cristiano Ronaldo emphatically disputed the notion that Lionel Messi is a better player, asserting his disagreement in a forthcoming interview with Piers Morgan. A preview of the conversation, set to be released November 4, reveals Ronaldo’s firm conviction in his own abilities.
Responding directly to the question, “Is Messi better than you?” Ronaldo stated, ”I don’t agree with that opinion. I don’t want to be humble.” The Al Nassr forward’s comments reignite a long-standing debate among football fans regarding the two iconic players’ comparative skills and achievements.
The interview also touched on Ronaldo’s financial success, playfully dismissing recent reports of becoming the first athlete to reach billionaire status. ”That’s not true, I became a multimillionaire many years ago,” he said with a laugh. He further downplayed comments made by Wayne Rooney, who previously stated Messi was the superior player, saying it “doesn’t pose any problem for me.”
This isn’t the first time Ronaldo has sat down with Morgan for a revealing discussion. In 2022,during an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored,Ronaldo predicted his departure from Manchester United following the Qatar 2022 World Cup – a prediction that ultimately proved accurate.
