23 years ago, Cristiano Ronaldo cooked Manchester United so badly in a friendly that Sir Alex Ferguson 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 to sign him.
'We're not leaving this ground until we've got that boy signed.'
The rest is history 🔴
Ronaldo was 40 years old when he scored and won a Final against Spain. Messi is 39 yes old & couldn't register a shot on target against Spain.
The media won't tell you this.
🚨🗣Pablo Gavi Revealed what he said to Paredes that caused the fight:
🗣Reporter: "What made Paredes so angry at you?"
🗣 Gavi: "I just simply asked "Did Infantino not pick your calls this time?" And he lost it at that moment, he wouldn't even let me finish what I wanted to say"
🗣 Reporter: "what did you wanted to say?"
🗣 Gavi: "Football won over corruption"
🚨🇪🇸 Sergio Ramos Fires Back at Claims Ronaldo Can't Be the GOAT Without a World Cup🇵🇹
🗣️"If the World Cup is the only thing that defines the greatest of all time, then you're judging players by their nationality rather than their football.
Some countries simply have more talent and depth than others. Cristiano Ronaldo carried Portugal for nearly two decades and achieved things most players can only dream of.
You can't erase everything he's done because he never won the World Cup. Greatness is built over an entire career, not just seven games every four years."🎙️
🚨🏴 A reporter asked Rio Ferdinand if winning another World Cup would make Messi the GOAT in his eyes.
🗣️Reporter: "Rio, would another World Cup be enough for you to call Messi the greatest of all time?"
🗣️Rio Ferdinand: "Messi could go on and win another world cup trophy, but that still wouldn't change my opinion that Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest footballer of all time.
Argentina won World Cups before Messi, so it's not as if they were never a football powerhouse. They've always been one of the biggest football nations.
"I believe Argentina had the quality to win the 2022 World Cup even without Messi. A seven-game tournament shouldn't be the only thing that defines who the greatest player in football history is.
Greatness is built over an entire career, and for me, Ronaldo still sets the standard."
