Only he can understand his pain, what he went though to fulfill his dreams. Now what he has, all credit goes to him and his mother. Thanks to Geo for supporting him. Those who hates him, those are the most toxic fanbase ever. Those who hates him, has no class, has no works to do. Their work is to criticize this Perfectionist Cristiano who wins in Life.

I get that but the only reason you are gushing so much is because he is a top professional footballer. If he had a completely different job you would not say anything remotely complimentary about him. He is just a normal guy with a huge ego and petulant personality.

Iam surely not the only one after watching this , flooded with respect , pure inspiration and above all massive admiration there is not a footballer playing or retired that has impacted the game more than Ronaldo , he has not only succeeded but broken ridiculous records along the way in England, Spain, Italy and even at the age he is now in Saudi , so Ronnie i salute you pure legend.

[@ThrustTornado]

As someone who always was, is and will be a Messi, I really do appreciate this man to no end. Yes i do like messi's way of playing more but that doesn't take anything away from Christiano. And I HAVE to mention this. As for this interview, I think Rio has done something that no one has ever done with Christiano, and that is obviously Christiano love & respect Rio alot, and that made him be at ease. This was the first time in my opinion that he didn't have any guard and didn't try to prove anything and just be him which is quite different from what he is perceived almost every time. I myself never liked his attitudes, or lets say his ego was a bit too much for me, but now I understand that the people who interviewed him never got to him the right way. This interview made me like the guy so much after so many years. Hats off to him no matter why though. He is without a doubt a legend.

[@G-fd5ug]

Just because Ronaldo isn’t a United supporter, with his legacy in football more than just about his time at United, doesn’t mean he doesn’t love the club. It’s the club where he made his name, grew up and became a superstar. He’ll always have fond memories of his time there. And so the fans should for him. We likely won’t see a player like him grace Old Trafford again. His second stint didn’t end the way anyone would’ve wanted, but it was still amazing to see him back in a United shirt. And to actually see him play live at OT. Something I was never able to do when he was there the first time

As a United fan, I'll never be angry about the way he left United the second time. He was there as a player and as a fan and he was disappointed with what he saw and rightly so. What we are seeing now, the management changes, the infrastructure improvements, the focus on football rather than business and branding, is all Cristiano. He started it all. In a few years' time, when United are as great again as they were in his time, even the fans who hate him now will thank him for what he has done and the things he has single-handedly set in motion. Go on Cristiano, and get those 1000 goals!

Ronaldo is one of my heroes. He was right to criticise the mess of our club, he blew the whistle by confirming the Glazers have destroyed the club. His issues with Ten Haag he should have kept private, but Ronaldo was right that Ten Haag disrespected him. He was right to attack Richard Arnold though, because Richard Arnold did not support Ronaldo properly after his baby died, Ronaldo was only off one week in April 2022 (remember) he was not allowed longer time for compassionate leave. Also when his daughter was ill with Bronchitis in May and June 2022, Richard Arnold did not believe him. Ronaldo felt like he was being pushed out. So he decided that summer he wanted to leave. There are always too sides to a story. Our club let him down

Notice how Ronaldo said about Bellingham going Real Madrid that the environment was clean so he can grow.

@@Cameron0548 Are you dense? He went to a lower league at 39 years old and he crushed it, breaking the all time scoring record. He wasn't playing in lower leagues at Messi's age and failing. Of course the best players will go to the best clubs. Why don't you complain that Messi played in the best team in the entire history of the sport at Barcelona? Quite hypocritical of you.

It would be amazing if Cristiano could come back and get his 1000th goal at United. Like Henry signed back at Arsenal those years back and played a few games

[@aliaunsyed9248]

I didn't get the hate he got back then and I don't get it now. Every single thing he said about the state of the club was what fans had been saying but somehow he became the villain? Yes he undermined the manager, but now the same fans are calling for Ten Hag's head. Maybe make up your mind on what you want? Ronaldo was right about how embarrassing the standards have become at the club, doesn't matter if he did it for himself or love for the club. He's still and will always be one of our greatest every players and legend.

[@RemeDizzleD]

The fans were looking for a scapegoat for united shitness.. it was easy to blame Ronaldo cause he was the icon and as far as the fans think.. he can carry all the weight (positive & negative) of the club. Which in case he can't, nobody can. The club is rotten but are relentless at thinking they're not. It's not slander, it's honesty

[@eleanorcolt4361]

Cristiano Ronaldo, aisde from his physique and talent, his mindset is just top-notch. Hard working, ambitious, unwearied, expressive, disciplined, a huge amount of self-belief and self-care, and as he mentioned it here, I also like his parenting style, which is you don't teach them, they see and learn from what you do every day and how you carry yourself in various situations, and therefore you become a good example for them. Not every kid has an opportunity to grow up in a happy or affluent household and has someone to look up to within their family members. From this aspect, I'm sure Ronaldo Jr is going to be a strong man with the work ethic like his father regardless of which career he will take in the future. The thing that I think about the most these days, watching and listening to people who have made a great deal of success in their fields, is that you ought to believe in yourself wholeheartedly, not just from your head but from every single cell of your body and that you should be disciplined to live up to that. I used to consider my weight management as a burden, a difficult homework that I want to finish quickly and rest after. But there's more than that. It's like something that I should do for the rest of my life to be better version of myself and for health benefits. I have an enormous respect for people with consistency. Ronaldo at 39 is still running on the pitch. That constant passion, work, and ambition are the most valuable attributes in any athlete. Thank you Rio for this incredible interview.

What an amazing professional ❤ 🫶🏿

[@lwazeem]

After all the dust of politics and favouritism settles, history will remember CR7 as the undisputed GOAT. It happened in boxing with Ali, with MJ in basketball, it happens with great movies who don't win Oscars like Pulp Fiction and Shawshank Redemption. It happens with leaders like Nelson Mandela. History reverts back to the truth. And the truth is that CR7 is the GOAT.

[@Martinbal126]

Hmmm no, but he will be remembered as a generational 2nd best to the goat, which is a massive achievement non the less.

[@kaeso101]

I always thought the fall out CR7 has with Man United in his second stint was not his fault..in fact he was right for calling the club out..having being a product under Sir Alex and gaining more experience in other clubs.. he not only had an expectation for high standards..but also experience and awareness about club management and politics. He plainly saw a flaw and tried to hold the club accountable for it and i think thats a greater service to care enough for the club that you would highlight its problems and try improve things.

[@davetaylor4741]

There have been thousands of footballers. Out of those there are only a handful of legends. Messi and Ronaldo are two. You have to start with a talent, but then the will kicks in. The greats are driven. They have to believe. They have to want. The need is there to be better, to be the best. Ronaldo still has that drive. In contrast Man Utd players today. There for the pay cheque. Not bothered about the club. No drive to be better. No drive to win. If you had a team with half the skill of Ronaldo, but that amount of passion and drive. Man Utd would be top of the league.

Ronaldo is the GTOAT (greatest tanner of all time.) What he lacks in other areas such as the footballing ability to keep up with the GOAT, he makes up for with being golden brown from tanning. Also he has abs that we like. He may not be the goat but he is the gtoat.

Good interview. Ronaldo may say he hasn't changed but he's grown up a lot. I really liked how he explained the decision to carry on playing, it's not about the money, it's the buzz he's scared of losing. Plus his fixation with records, he knows he has a brilliant chance to go down in history with records that will never be beaten. Good luck to him. I've a lot more patience for him having heard him speak in this interview.

[@jacksmith4460]

honestly, Ima actually a Liverpool fan, but I have to admit, CR7 comes across very different in this interview. For me he was a player we loved to hate, but respected as the most potent of enemies, but he came across quite arrogant and up himself. He really should talk to old team mates and friends on camera more, it shows his humble human side, and I cant lie, its quite endearing
