Cristiano Ronaldo recently reached yet another impressive milestone in his illustrious career. Scoring his 850th goal during Al Nassr‘s commanding 5-1 victory over Al Hazm, Ronaldo further solidified his status as the highest goalscorer of all time. With each goal he scores, he continues to extend his lead and set new records. But the question remains, Can anyone surpass his incredible feat? According to Ronaldo, the answer is a resounding no.
The eternal debate surrounding who is the greatest of all time, Ronaldo or his arch-rival Lionel Messi, has captivated fans around the world for years. The GOAT (Greatest of All Time) title is fiercely contested by fans of both players, often leading to heated arguments and passionate discussions. While the debate may never be definitively settled, when it comes to goalscoring, Ronaldo believes he is leaps and bounds ahead.

Recently, the striker took part in a unique lie detector test conducted by a cryptocurrency exchange, Binance. In this test, he was asked a series of hard-hitting questions, including whether he considers himself to be the best goalscorer of all time. With trademark confidence, Ronaldo replied with a resounding “Yes”. To the surprise of no one, the lie detector machine verified his claim as true.
However, it was another question that truly caught the attention of many. The 38-year-old was asked whether he believed anyone would be able to surpass his extraordinary goalscoring record in his lifetime. Despite Lionel Messi trailing behind by a mere 32 goals, Ronaldo confidently answered, “Yes”. Once again, the polygraph indicated that he was telling the truth.
This audacious claim by Ronaldo has sent shockwaves through the soccer world. Many would argue that Messi is more than capable of closing the gap and potentially surpassing Ronaldo’s record. With a current tally of 818 goals, Messi’s recent form with Inter Miami has shown glimpses of his goal-scoring prowess. However, Ronaldo remains unfazed and supremely confident in his abilities.
Only time will tell whether CR7’s bold claim will hold true or not. While Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make his mark in the annals of history, his rival Lionel Messi also exhibits his extraordinary talent in America.
