“If you ask me, ‘Cristiano, is winning the World Cup a dream?’No, it wasn’t a dream.Winning the World Cup will not change my name in football history.I’m not going to lie,” said Ronaldo.
For Ronaldo, lifting a World Cup trophy will not be a consideration in the debate over who is the greatest athlete in sporting history, regardless of its historical weight.
It is common knowledge that Ronaldo’s achievements are always compared to those of Lionel Messi.The Argentine superstar has also tasted a multitude of prestigious titles, but what is different is that he succeeded in bringing Argentina to the 2022 World Cup championship.
In CR7’s eyes, winning the World Cup will have no further impact in defining his position in sports history.
“Defining what? Determining whether I’m one of the best in history, by winning one competition, out of six games or seven games. Do you think that’s fair?”said Ronaldo.
The Manchester United and Real Madrid legend satirized his rival, Lionel Messi, in the struggle for supremacy for the world’s best footballer.La Pulga has indeed lifted the 2022 World Cup trophy with Argentina.
According to Ronaldo, Argentina’s latest success is nothing extraordinary.The reason is that Argentina has often won the trophy.The situation would be different if Portugal emerged as world champion.
“How many World Cups had Argentina won before Messi? How many? I don’t know, I think maybe twice. Yes, but that’s normal. These countries, they’re used to winning big tournaments.”
“Brazil, if they win the World Cup, they won’t surprise the world. But if Portugal wins the World Cup, which might happen, they will shock the world. Yes, but I wouldn’t think like that,” said Ronaldo.
The Portugal captain did not deny his desire to win the World Cup.However, this trophy will not change his achievements as one of the best footballers ever.
“Of course you want to win. When you compete, you definitely want to win. Honestly, for me it won’t change the way I look at things and about football,” he said.
In the last decade, the nickname GOAT has been attached to Ronaldo and Messi throughout their respective careers.
When asked if Ronaldo considered himself one of the greatest players of all time, he replied, “Of course. Or at least one of the best for many people.”
“I don’t care about that. Seriously. I’ve seen a lot of things, I’ve seen a lot of interviews that make me think, ‘If I say something now, people won’t be surprised’,” said Ronaldo.
