Cristiano Ronaldo turned 40 years of age on Wednesday but continues to play with the same confidence and self-esteem as he has always boasted throughout his successful career. Ronaldo, the former Real Madrid star who now plys his trade in Saudi Arabia with Al Nassr, apparently has no doubt about who should be considered the best football player ever.

“I am the greatest scorer in history,” Ronaldo said in an interview with Spanish television channel La Sexta. “Although I am not left-footed, I am in the top 10 in history for goals scored with the left foot. These are [my] numbers, I am the most complete player who has ever existed. “I play well with my head, I take good free kicks, I am fast, I am strong, I jump high. I have never seen anyone better than me,” he added. The Portugal star holds most scoring records in men’s international football, including most appearances with 217 and most goals with 135.
