Brazil Legend, Ronaldo Speaks of Cristiano Comparison

Brazil legend, Luiz Nazario De Lima insists that he should not be compared with his Portuguese namesake Cristiano Ronaldo who now turns out for Italian giants Juventus.

Fans have often used the term ‘Real Ronaldo’ to refer to the Brazilian in a bid to differentiate the two football superstars. Others use it to berate the Portuguese by using it to mean that they only recognize the world cup winner.

Both teams were great in their own ways. Ronaldo was particularly prolific with the Selecao. His club career was not exactly spectacular as he was inhibited by injuries. Cristiano, on the other hand, has been on top of his game for a decade. He has won five Uefa Champions League trophies, the Euros and Uefa Nations League with Portugal, and has five Ballon d’Or titles to his name.

Speaking on the comparison between them, Ronaldo dismissed those comparing him with the Juve man. He lavished the Portugal captain saying his name will be etched in football history.

“For Cristiano, it must be boring to hear that I am the real Ronaldo. People cannot be compared. Cristiano will remain in football history for the goals and for the continuity he has achieved. He will remain one of the best, like Messi,” he said.

Both players played for Real Madrid.
