C.Ronaldo claims Messi is not better than him

(Dan Tri) - In an interview with journalist Piers Morgan, C. Ronaldo declared that Messi is not better than him. CR7's statement caused a stir in the football world.

Despite being quite private with the media, C. Ronaldo still decided to accept the invitation to participate in a conversation with British journalist Piers Morgan. In it, the Portuguese superstar spoke frankly and openly about many issues in his career.

When asked directly by Piers Morgan: "Many people say Messi is better than you, what do you think?", C. Ronaldo replied without hesitation: "Messi is better than me? I do not agree with that opinion. I do not want to appear humble."

This resolute statement once again affirms the confidence and strong personality of CR7, who has long been a symbol of the spirit of conquest and the desire to assert himself. It also caused a stir in the football world with a series of controversies on social networks.

In the short interview that was revealed, Piers Morgan continuously asked sharp questions, including repeating the comments of Wayne Rooney, who once said that Messi is superior to C. Ronaldo. However, the star wearing the Al Nassr shirt just smiled and replied: "That doesn't bother me."

Another interesting moment was when Piers Morgan mentioned the information that C. Ronaldo had just become “the first billionaire athlete in history”. CR7 laughed and responded with a confident statement: “That’s not true, I’ve been a billionaire for many years.”

The statement was humorous but also reflected the confidence and position that CR7 has built over nearly two decades of top-level competition, both on and off the field.

This is the second time C. Ronaldo has participated in an interview with Piers Morgan, after the shocking interview 3 years ago, when he hinted at leaving Man Utd after the 2022 World Cup. This time, it seems that CR7 wants to once again speak up for himself, affirming his ego and position in the endless race with Lionel Messi, the greatest confrontation in modern football history.
