Less than an hour ago, Cristiano Ronaldo once again shook the global football world. In a press conference, CR7 confidently – even somewhat arrogantly – stated that he would become the best player in the world and “no one will be more deserving than me.”

A statement that shook the football world
Ronaldo is known for his strong personality and absolute belief in himself. But his statement this time was not just confidence, but also a challenge to all current opponents, from Lionel Messi to Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland or any other young star who is being praised.
According to a source present at the event, Ronaldo affirmed: “My career has never stopped. I still train harder than anyone, I still score goals, and I will prove that no one – including the younger generation – is more deserving than me for the title of best player in the world.”
Mixed reactions from fans
Immediately after the statement, social media exploded. Ronaldo’s loyal fans immediately praised their idol, saying that CR7 had the right to say so because of what he had contributed over the past two decades. Some comments said that Ronaldo was a model of perseverance, belief and never-ending spirit.

However, there were many opposing opinions. Fans of Messi, Mbappé or Haaland said that Ronaldo was living in an illusion and refused to accept the fact that age had made his performance no longer at its peak. One frank comment read: “Ronaldo needs to understand that football has entered a new era, and he is no longer number one.”
Reality or illusion?
There is an undeniable truth: Ronaldo is still maintaining an amazing performance at an age when most players have retired. He still scores regularly, is still a spiritual leader, and still has a huge fan base. But is that enough to keep him crowned the world’s best player in a time when young talent is dominating Europe?
Experts are divided. Some analysts believe that Ronaldo is past his prime, and such statements are just a “trick” to maintain his image. Meanwhile, others believe that CR7’s steely spirit and confidence are what have helped him conquer the top for many years.
Ronaldo – the unyielding icon

Whether people love or hate Ronaldo, one thing is undeniable: he is a symbol of relentless effort. The statement “no one deserves it more than me” may be controversial, but it reflects the true nature of the man – always believing that he was born to be number one.
Ronaldo may not win another Ballon d’Or, but he has made his name in football history with his attitude of never giving up. And perhaps, it is that pride that makes him an endless source of inspiration for millions of people around the world.

Conclusion
Ronaldo’s statement 30 minutes ago has turned the entire football world into a debate forum. Is it the truth from a champion who never gives up, or just the illusion of a legend who does not accept age? The answer is still ahead. But certainly, with Ronaldo, the fire to conquer the title of “best player in the world” will never be extinguished.
