Aged 38 now, he is still going strong and plies his trade for Saudi Arabian giants Al-Nassr. The Portugal international is the highest scorer in the history of the sport with 824 goals to his name for club and country. He is also a five-time Ballon d’Or winner and has cemented his status as an all-time great.
Here, we will take a look at five best quotes on the Portuguese superstar from his fellow players and managers.
Lionel Messi
“(Ronaldo) is always there scoring goals in all the games and taking part in his club and national side. He has been doing that for many years and whether he is at his peak or a bit below it makes no difference.”
Eusebio
“He has magic in his boots. The first thing you notice about him is that he is incredibly quick and very, very powerful for such a young man. He has great, close control and his technique is excellent. He believes he can do anything with the ball, and that confidence makes him very special indeed.”
Johan Cruyff
“Cristiano Ronaldo is better than George Best and Denis Law, who were two brilliant and great players in the history of United.”
Sir Bobby Charlton
“He (Ronaldo) does things I have never seen from any other player, and it is marvellous to watch. It takes a great player to grab the bull by the horns and make things happen, but he has done it repeatedly.”
Jose Mourinho
“He is the best. The best in the world, yes. Probably the best. I saw Maradona a couple of times. I never saw Pele. But Cristiano is amazing. This man is the best. Cristiano is a goals machine. He is an incredible player. He is like Zidane; there will never be another Ronaldo.”
