Cristiano Ronaldo: "Is Messi better than me? I don't agree"

"The biggest sit-down interview of his life". That's how Piers Morgan describes the video with Cristiano Ronaldo , in a preview that has already been published. The Portuguese star does not usually give many interviews, however, he has given the opportunity to this journalist to talk openly with him. This will not be published in full until November 4, although in this small 'teaser' a question is already addressed that reopens the eternal debate among fans around the world: is Messi better than Cristiano Ronaldo?

The Portuguese star responded bluntly. The journalist asked him: "They say Messi is better than you, what do you think?" To which Cristiano replied clearly and without hesitation: "Messi is better than me? I do not agree with that opinion. I don't want to be humble."

I don't agree with that opinion. I don't want to be humble.

It's a question that millions of football fans have asked themselves over the years. Some say Messi is the best; others say Cristiano is the best. However, the former Real Madrid player himself leaves no room for debate with his statements.

During the minute-long preview, Piers Morgan can be seen throwing questions and issues at Cristiano, to which he reacts by gesticulating. One of them, in relation to the subject, refers to his former Manchester United teammate Wayne Rooney. The journalist recalls how the Englishman opined that Messi was superior as a player to the Portuguese, to which Cristiano responded bluntly: "It doesn't bother me." These statements show that what others think does not affect him too much, but rather he focuses on continuing to perform on the field.

Another of the highlights that emerges from the preview comes when CR7 is asked about becoming the first billionaire sportsman a few weeks ago, to which the Al-Nassr footballer responds with a laugh that: "It's not true, I became a billionaire many years ago". As much as Cristiano has it clear and many fans of the Portuguese star do too, the debate will continue in schools, stadiums and football fields around the world. But what do you think?
