In a candid interview with journalist Piers Morgan, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner challenged the notion that a single tournament should define a player’s greatness.

Ronaldo said.
“Winning the World Cup is not a dream for me. Winning one tournament does not prove that you are one of the greatest players in history. It is unfair to judge a player based on only six or seven games.”

Ronaldo’s comments underline his belief that football greatness should be measured over an entire career, not just by one international competition. With 952 career goals, multiple Champions League titles, domestic league trophies across England, Spain, and Italy, and the European Championship with Portugal, Ronaldo’s achievements speak volumes about his consistency and impact on the sport.

The next FIFA World Cup will take place in the summer of 2026, co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
