Cristiano Ronaldo says he is the “best player in history” after winning his fifth Ballon d’Or on Thursday, according to a report by SkySports.

The Real Madrid forward scooped the award, which is organised by magazine France Football, for the fifth time to tie level with Lionel Messi’s tally.

Ronaldo, who helped his side win the Champions League and La Liga last season, also won the best male player prize at the 2017 Best Fifa Football Awards in October, and believes he is now the greatest to have played the game.

“I’m the best player in history, in the good moments and the bad ones,” he told France Football. “I respect everyone’s preferences, but I’ve never seen anyone better than me. I have always thought that. No footballer can do the things I can. There’s no player more complete than me.


“I play well with both feet, I’m quick, powerful, good with the head, I score goals, I make assists. There are guys who prefer Neymar or (Lionel) Messi. But I tell you: there’s no-one more complete than me.

“No one has won as many individual trophies as me. And I’m not speaking just of the Ballon d’Or. That says something, doesn’t it? It’s not just a result of the work I do in the gym, like some people think. It’s the sum of many things.

“Legends like Floyd Mayweather and LeBron James don’t get to their perfect level by chance. Many factors coincide. To be at the top and to stay there, you have to have more talent than the others.”

Ronaldo admitted he was “sad and angry” when Messi scooped the Ballon d’Or on four consecutive occasions from 2009 to 2012, and said he had no interest in going to ceremonies to accept second place.

“I won the Ballon d’Or before Messi, then he overtook me and won four in a row. I’m not going to hide from you that I was sad and angry,” he said.

“I went to the award ceremonies and I never won. At one point, I was even demotivated. I had no desire to go. To be there for the photo didn’t interest me.

“Then, little by little, thanks to those close to me, I told myself that in life there is a beginning and an end. And in football what counts is the finish, not the start. I was patient. And I won four other Ballon d’Or’s.”

True talk. But it just makes much more sense when your trumpet is blown for you. Pride goes before a fall

What kind of thread hits FP even before been created?

What network is the guy above me using?




Is Ronaldo better than those here?

You are

I believe you buddy

M

As much as I admire his exceptional skills and indisputably one of The greatest players of the round leather game in this century...



Let him nevertheless remain humble as pride goes before a fall.

For Crying out loud How can you say "no one is greater than you"...Haba?

"Man is nothing without a god"

Pride!!!

Someone won it at a tender age and didn't make noise.. You are just catching up and yet you consider yourself the greatest...

Congratulations!

Is he forgetting messi or wat?

You not even better than the Brazilian Ronaldo

Let him be tooting his own horn, while more respected football folks do the praise for Messi..Teammates of CR7 like scholes, giggs and Rooney have attested to Messi being the best






The only thing that Ronaldo has done and Messi can't is actually scoring an own goal

I feel like i'm the best player, that was his sentence. Bloggers sha

Pele is still the greatest in history...

Young man.....wake me up when messi wins something with his senior national team and back to back champions league

If not because football has been turned to media propaganda and goals, Marcelo deserved most of your ball on Diors' than you!

You are not even in the top three in Madrid not to talk of greatest ever footballer!

kboycrew:
Childish pride

E pain am!

U are.. UNDISPUTED..

No mind Pele, he played the game when even farmers and hunters were representing their country in the world cup..

Modern football is much more complicated than the Pele era, so for Ronaldo to lift all these awards and break all these goal scoring records, he is truly the best..

My opinion though

Cr7 is the greatest. From humble beginning

GREATEST OF ALL... CR7

GOAT

No argument, gbam
