Cristiano Ronaldo has not only garnered attention for his achievements with Al Nasr FC, but also for his comments in a recent interview with Piers Morgan.
CR7 has once again divided soccer fans by downplaying the importance of the World Cup after claiming he considers himself a better player than long-time rival Lionel Messi.

With a total of 34 trophies to his name, the Portuguese star has established himself as one of the sport’s greatest icons. But the World Cup, which many fans and players consider to be the most important trophy, is one Cristiano has yet to win.
The truth is that on December 18, 2022, many fans tipped the scales in favor of the current Inter Miami captain after his former rival from Real Madrid, Leo Messi, became champion of the Argentine national team in Qatar.
Nevertheless, Ronaldo stressed that winning this championship is “not a dream” and that winning it does not define a player’s quality or talent. “What does it define? Does it define whether I am one of the best of all time? To win one competition, six games, seven games. Do you think that is fair?” he asked in an interview with Morgan.
However, in the same conversation, CR7 also talked about marrying his girlfriend, model Georgina Rodriguez. The couple announced their engagement on August 11, 2025 through an Instagram post, but no date has been set for their big day. Until now:
“When the World Cup was over, I was going to do it with a trophy,” Cristiano confessed, sparking a wave of ridicule from fans as he contradicted himself by saying that he not only believed he would win, but that becoming champion was “not a dream”.
“After which trophy?” one of them asked. “We may not be able to have a wedding in these conditions,” another posted. “Bottom line: That will never happen,” another user commented. “So the World Cup is still your dream. But the guy lied and said, ‘Winning the World Cup is not a dream.'” So confused,” another added.
The truth is that winning the World Cup will not only fulfill his desire to celebrate his wedding with a prestigious trophy, but also continue to impress with his achievements.
He is approaching 1,000 career goals (952 goals), and the 2026 tournament will be his sixth appearance in the tournament. Will he be able to win this World Cup?
