Cristiano Ronaldo settled the best player debate between him and Lionel Messi while also admitting that there are those who prefer the Argentine.
Unarguably one of the greatest footballers of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo remains one of the most decorated footballers of all time. No playing in Saudi Arabia for Al-Nassr, Ronaldo has dominated the world of football for more than a decade, while also competing for Lionel Messi for the biggest of awards. Ronaldo and Messi have been part of an intense debate for years, with fans divided over who the better footballer is. For the first time ever in history, Ronaldo himself has admitted that people may prefer Messi or even other greats like Pele and Maradona.
Ronaldo has no problems in admitting that certain people might prefer Messi over him but he isn't in agreement when someone says that he isn't a 'complete footballer'.
"I think I'm the most complete football player that has ever existed. People could like Messi, Maradona or Pele, and I respect it, but I'm the most complete.
"I'm the best player in football history. I haven't seen anyone better than me in football history and I'm saying truth from my heart," Ronaldo said in an interview with Spanish media outlet LaSexta TV.
During the interview, Ronaldo also revealed that he and Messi never had a 'bad relationship' over last 15 years in which they created a football duopoly.
