Cristiano Ronaldo in 2017:
“When I was little, I didn’t want to be on the same level as players who won only one Ballon d’Or. In my head, I wanted more than one. I always thought that I was different from others."
Cristiano Ronaldo:
“The 2026 World Cup? I’ll be honest, I can’t project myself that far. Anything can happen, I want to live in the moment. I want to have a big EUROs, and then we will see what will happen.”
Cristiano Ronaldo on Leo Messi:
"If you love Cristiano, you don’t have to hate Messi. Both of us have changed the history of football and are respected.
The rivalry is over. We shared the stage for 15 years."
Ryan Giggs: "In Manchester, you couldn’t imagine that Cristiano Ronaldo would become one of the greatest goalscorers in history. You just couldn’t. In his first match against Bolton, he delighted the crowd with his gestures But then there were the dives, the frustration, he didn’t know when to pass the ball, he was doing too much dribbling, simulations… his debut was difficult.
Then all of a sudden it clicked and then you just had to pass the ball to Cristiano. Even in our team where there was still Tevez, Scholes or even Rooney, he was the one who made the difference. He was the one who saved us when we were in trouble. He has become a goalscorer, the man who wins matches at the highest level.
All the greatest players in history are revealed during the big matches. He did it for us, as he then did for Real Madrid and Juventus. It is a certainty: he must be considered one of the greatest players of all time".
