This is the second time Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken to journalist Piers Morgan, after a shocking interview in 2022 - the event that led to his departure from Manchester United.
In the video released on November 3, the Al-Nassr captain expressed absolute confidence in his position in the history of football.
When asked by Morgan: "What do you think when many people think Messi is better? ", Ronaldo replied: "I do not agree with that view. I don't want to be modest."
The 40-year-old striker was also asked about the information that he has just become the first billionaire in football. CR7 laughed and replied, "That's not true. I was a billionaire many years ago."
When mentioned the comments of Wayne Rooney - a former teammate who thought Messi was greater - the Portuguese captain frankly said: "That's not a problem for me."
Ronaldo and Messi have competed for nearly two decades, together dominating the football world with a total of 13 Golden Balls and a series of personal records.
The Argentine superstar is currently on the rise with 8 Ballons d'Or and one World Cup title, while Ronaldo has 5 Ballons d'Or and is still missing the World Cup. However, Ronaldo currently holds the record of 952 goals in his career.
When asked about his approaching retirement date, Ronaldo admitted that he might cry.
The interview excerpt was posted on Ronaldo's personal YouTube channel, with more than 77 million followers. This is the first video he has shared after two months of being quiet on this platform.
The entire CR7 conversation with Piers Morgan is scheduled to be released on November 4.
