Cristiano Ronaldo Calls Himself GOAT Alongside Tom Brady After Meeting at Manchester United Game

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players of all time and he has proved this several times. The Portuguese forward has put years of dedication and hard work to good use as he still dominates and wins matches for his club and country.

Ronaldo is currently playing for Manchester United and hasn’t had the best season. Nevertheless, he still has 12 league goals this season and 6 goals in 6 UEFA Champions League games. The forward has single-handedly won several games for United, and the club’s match against Tottenham Hotspur was no different.

Ronaldo opened the scoring with a wonderful strike from 25 yards that flew past Hugo Lloris in the first half. Spurs equalized with a penalty and Ronaldo stepped up again to give United the lead before halftime.

Cristiano Ronaldo calls himself the GOAT

An own goal by United captain Harry Maguire left the club with a hill to climb in 20 minutes, but Ronaldo scored a header in the 82nd minute to win the tie for the club. It was his first hat trick for United this season and a much-needed one before their UCL game against Atletico Madrid.

After the match, Ronaldo met with retired NFL legend Tom Brady and posed for a photo. The Portuguese forward uploaded the image on his Instagram account, where he called Brady GOAT. “Always a pleasure and a privilege to share some thoughts and ideas with another GOAT,” Ronaldo wrote in the post’s caption.

Brady commented on the post too and showed his gratitude to his friend. “Was our pleasure, 3 goals, a win, and being so kind to my two boys! Muito obrigado meu amigo,” Brady commented on the post.

Ralf Rangnick hails Ronaldo after his fantastic performance

United players were ecstatic after Ronaldo’s hat-trick and so was the club’s manager, Ralf Rangnick. The German manager revealed that Ronaldo was playing at a similar level in training and that this was the best performance from the forward ever since he joined the club.

“He made the difference for sure, but not only for the three goals. That was the best performance from him, at least since I arrived here, on and off the ball,” Rangnick said.
