“I don’t agree” – Ronaldo Nazario refutes GOAT claims from Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo Nazario Ronaldo Nazario

Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent claim of being the best football player in history has sparked a debate, with his namesake, Ronaldo Nazario, offering his opinion.

In an interview with ESPN, Ronaldo Nazario acknowledged the Portuguese player’s remarkable career but disagreed with him being labeled the "greatest of all time."

While praising Cristiano for his versatility and achievements, including playing both as a winger and a striker, Ronaldo Nazario placed him among the top 10 players in history, rather than at the very top.

When asked about his own opinion on the best player, he named Pelé as number one, followed by Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona, with Cristiano Ronaldo in his top five. This ongoing debate over football’s greatest player is likely to continue even after these legends retire.
