The eternal debate between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi is heating up once again. In a preview of his upcoming interview with renowned journalist Piers Morgan, the Al-Nassr striker made his stance crystal clear. The full interview is set to air on November 4.

When asked the question fans and experts have debated for years — “People say Messi is better than you, what do you think?” — the Portuguese icon did not shy away.

“Messi better than me? I don’t agree with that opinion. I don’t want to be humble,” stated Cristiano, reinforcing his confidence in his accomplishments and status in world football.

Financial status? “I have been a billionaire for years already”

During the interview, the forward also addressed recent reports suggesting he had just become the first-ever “billionaire athlete.” With a hint of humor, he dismissed the claim:

“That’s not true — I became a billionaire many years ago.”

His response reflects the security and strong personality that have accompanied his entire career — both on and off the pitch.

On Rooney’s comments and why he returns to the spotlight

The conversation also touched on remarks made by former teammate Wayne Rooney, who once stated that Messi was the superior player. Ronaldo insisted there is no frustration on his side:

“It doesn’t bother me at all.”

This marks Cristiano’s second major interview with Piers Morgan, following the explosive conversation three years ago in which he hinted he would leave Manchester United after the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

His return to the show underlines his desire to express his version of his story and reaffirm his place in what remains football’s most famous rivalry.

All eyes on November 4
