Former Real Madrid Star Savages Ronaldo, Insists Al Nassr Forward Is Not the GOAT

• Cristiano Ronaldo's claim to the GOAT title has been questioned by a former Real Madrid star
• Despite Ronaldo dominating the football space almost two decades alongside Lionel Messi, some have raised eyebrows of his legitimacy as the GOAT
• One of the naysayers to Ronaldo's GOAT shout is former Italy international Antonio Cassano

Antonio Cassano has taken a swipe at Cristiano Ronaldo's claim to be the greatest footballer of all-time.

The former Real Madrid striker, who has been a huge critic of Ronaldo, argues the latter's trophies and goals does not warrant his claim to be the GOAT.

According to him, players such as legendary French midfielder Zinedine Zidane and Barcelona icon Andres Iniesta are ahead of Cristiano in his books

“Cristiano Ronaldo is not among the best in history. Did he score over 800 goals? Yes. Has he won titles? Yes," Cassano said as quoted by Football Tweet.

"He is a good player, but playing good football is different. Zidane, Iniesta haven’t scored half the goals he has, but they are true geniuses.”

Nonetheless, CR7, who currently plies his trade in Saudi Arabia for Al-Nassr, believes no other footballer is better than him, talkSPORT reports.

Ronaldo's five Ballon d'Or awards and a chain of goal scoring feats laced with trophies bears testimony of his greatness.
