Cristiano Ronaldo Named One Of The 7 World’s Greatest Sportsmen

Snooker world champion Ronnie O’Sullivan has named Cristiano Ronaldo in his seven-man list of the world’s greatest sportsmen. In the football community, one of the most prevailing and rather sensitive debates is who among Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi deserves the status of the “GOAT,” [the greatest footballer of all-time].

For FC Barcelona supporters or those who have ties with Argentina, it is always Lionel Messi, as they mention his six Ballon d’Or awards and unrivalled goalscoring and creative ability, among a plethora of other things, statistics to support their argument.

While on the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo’s supporters usually indicate that he is the greatest goalscorer in Champions League history, has won a title with his national team, has proved himself with different teams in different leagues, has scored more career goals than his arch-rival, among so many other points.
