‘I can’t agree with you’ – Ex-Man United star rejects Ronaldo’s GOAT claim

Published on March 25, 2025 at 10:09 AM

Former Manchester United defender, Jaap Stam has disagreed with Cristiano Ronaldo on his recent claim of being the greatest man to have played football.

Stam acknowledged the Portuguese's extraordinary career, but insisted that he cannot be considered the best player of all time.

He believes that the presence of other legendary figures in the sport’s history has put Ronaldo behind despite the Portuguese's successes.

Stam told Spaceport Sweden, “I cannot agree with Cristiano Ronaldo that he is the best player of all time.

“You have to consider Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi, Pele, Johan Cruyff and other players who are talented in different ways.

“Ronaldo is of course up there with the best players of all time, even at the age of 40 he is playing at a high level and is so fit and is still scoring goals.

“He has written history and changed how he plays during his career.

‘‘Having said that, I can’t agree that he is the best player in history. A lot of people prefer Lionel Messi but you have to have respect for Ronaldo and what he has brought to the world of football. He has such a presence and is up there with the best ever.”

Ronaldo had recently told anyone who cares to know that there is no one better than him in the history of the game.

Stam, a member of Manchester United's treble-winning team of 1999, played 127 times for the Red Devils.
