Picture this: you’ve just become a passionate new football fan. The stadium roars, the ball rolls, and your heart races. When you hear the word 'football', what pops into your mind? Is it the thrill of a goal, a brilliant assist, or the glory of a shining trophy? And when you think of football heroes, two names instantly come to mind—Messi or Ronaldo. Right? In this essay, we will discuss three reasons why Ronaldo is considered the GOAT (Greatest of All Time).
Cristiano Ronaldo, also known as CR7, is a world-famous Portuguese football player born on February 5, 1985. He currently plays as a forward for Al Nassr FC in Saudi Arabia and is known for wearing the iconic number 7 jersey. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, having won five Ballon d’Or awards and numerous league titles across England, Spain, and Italy.
From some literature I’ve read, "The GOAT" is an acronym for "Greatest of All Time", often used to describe the best performer in a particular sport. In football, there are currently two major rivals in the GOAT debate: Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Why them? Because both have won multiple Ballon d’Or awards and have scored countless goals and assists throughout their careers. However, for me being the GOAT is not only about trophies or statistics — it’s also about how well a player performs and how exceptionally they play the game.

In football, the GOAT debate is often narrowed down to two legendary players: Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. While both are incredible, for me, Cristiano Ronaldo is the real GOAT — and here’s why. Known as CR7, he has won 5 Ballon d'Or awards, scored over 923 goals, and made 257 assists in his career. He has played for top clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, and won many trophies, including the UEFA Euro 2016 with Portugal. What makes him special is not just his talent, but his strong dedication, discipline, and kind heart—he often donates to charities and helps people in need. Even though he faced controversy in 2023 at Manchester United, he stayed true to his values. I admire his incredible achievements, hard work, and inspiring journey and skills, and that’s why I believe Cristiano Ronaldo is the true GOAT.
I searched on the internet and found an interesting question: “Why is it important to be a GOAT in football, and who will be the next GOAT after Ronaldo and Messi retire?” Being a GOAT means you are recognized by people all over the world, and it gives you the chance to play for any top team. It’s a great honor and a source of pride for any footballer. As for the next GOAT, in my opinion, it could be players like Mbappé, Haaland, Lamine Yamal, or Vinícius Jr.—they are young, talented, and already showing great potential on the world stage. Personally, I’m most excited about Mbappé because of his speed, confidence, and leadership—he reminds me a lot of Ronaldo’s spirit.
In conclusion, Ronaldo is more than just a player—he’s an inspiration. His dedication, attitude, and unshakable spirit show what it truly means to be the GOAT. As a new generation of football stars rises, CR7’s legacy will continue to shine as the standard of greatness in football.
