As much as I respect Ronaldo, I do not think that he should have said what he said. It is not trait of the best to claim they are the best. Remember when Messi was asked who are one of the best players right now except him and he was naming neymar, hazard, etc. and when asked about Cirstiano he said he took him out of the list with himself (https://youtube.com/shorts/wTFKVuQmlEY?si=ZRLaBT99x3l8Va_q) which is sign of very big respect and humility. So I do not think Ronaldo should have said that and significant number of people already were of the opinion that he is the goat.
