🚨🇵🇹 Cristiano: “I know that whoever works hard, God helps him. It was a tough week, a dark one, it started as if I had retired from football”.
But I held on as I always hold on because I believe in work more than football. It was tough, I have to admit, but we came back”.
🚨 Roberto Martínez on people saying Cristiano Ronaldo is chasing Lionel Messi after his brace against Uzbekistan at the 2026 FIFA World Cup:
🗣️ “I always find it strange when people say Cristiano Ronaldo is chasing Lionel Messi. We are talking about a player who has spent almost twenty years setting records, breaking barriers and redefining what longevity looks like in football.”
“First of all, Messi is having an outstanding World Cup and deserves every bit of praise coming his way. But football is bigger than one tournament, and greatness is measured across an entire career.”
“When you look at Cristiano’s journey, you see records for goals, international football, appearances, longevity and consistency at the highest level. His legacy was built over decades, not weeks.”
“Cristiano has never focused on competing with other players. His mentality has always been about improving himself, helping his team and pushing the limits of what people think is possible.”
“The reality is that players come and go, generations change, but Cristiano Ronaldo’s name continues to be part of every major conversation in football. That doesn’t happen by accident.”
“So when people say Ronaldo is chasing Messi, I don’t agree with that. Cristiano is following his own path, just as he always has.”
“And if we’re being honest, Ronaldo isn’t chasing anyone. If anything, Messi is chasing Ronaldo, and many of the records in football are still chasing Cristiano Ronaldo.”
