In other news, Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo has argued that winning the World Cup should not determine who is regarded as football’s Greatest of All Time, GOAT player.
Ronaldo made this known during a recent interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored.
According to the Portuguese forward, it would be unfair to define greatness solely by success in the World Cup, as it has never been his ultimate dream.
“It’s not a dream for me to win the World Cup. To define what? To define if I’m one of the best in history? To win one competition with six or seven games?nYou think it’s fair?” Ronaldo told Piers Morgan Uncensored.
Ronaldo, 40, has won all major trophies in football except the World Cup. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star is expected to have one final opportunity to lift the trophy with Portugal next year.
