Cristiano Ronaldo states that the World Cup is not a dream and that judging the greatest of all time by just seven matches is unfair; fans say he has become obsessed.

In the live Morgan interview, Ronaldo stunned again. While some players improve their game intelligently with age, Ronaldo grows more fierce and unrestrained. Prior to Argentina’s 2022 World Cup win, many doubted Messi’s status as the best, but following that triumph, most fans now call him the king and the greatest ever. Since then, Ronaldo’s statements have become increasingly intense and controversial.

In the second part of the Morgan interview with Ronaldo, they discussed the World Cup. Ronaldo saidthe World Cup is no longer his dream, and defining one of the greatest players by just seven matches in a single tournament is unfair.

After this interview segment leaked, fans recalled Ronaldo’s previous statement: “Willing to trade Champions League titles and Ballon d’Or awards for a World Cup,” and commented that Ronaldo has become somewhat obsessed trying to compare himself with Messi.

People’s personalities are like that; perhaps we tend to talk most about what we lack. Ronaldo is already 40 years old and will definitely participate in the 2026 World Cup in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Portugal remains one of the top three most valuable teams, so Ronaldo still has a chance to lead them to a World Cup title. However, his previous five World Cup appearances were considered failures, with fans dubbing it “5003,” meaning 5 tournaments, 0 goals and 0 assists in knockout stages, 3 times selected for the worst XI, and 27 shots in knockout games without a single goal.
