In an interview, Ronaldo shared, "I am the best football player in history. I haven't seen anyone better than me, and I believe it with all my heart." He has often been compared to Lionel Messi, but Ronaldo thinks his numbers prove he is the best.

"I am the most complete player," Ronaldo said. "I can do everything well in football. I score with my head, with my left foot, and with my right foot. I can also score free kicks. I am fast and strong."

Ronaldo plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia now. He has also played for famous clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester United. Recently, he scored two goals in a game, making his total 923 goals. He is now the player with the most goals in football history.

Ronaldo talked about his ability to score goals in many ways. He said, "Who is the best goal scorer in history? It's all about the numbers. I have scored more goals than anyone else, with my head, both feet, and penalties."

Even though Ronaldo is sure of his greatness, others have different opinions. Javier Mascherano, a former teammate of Messi, said, "I respect Cristiano, but I have my own views on who is the greatest."

Ronaldo's 40th birthday is a reminder of his great career. He is known all over the world for his skills and achievements in football.
