Cristiano Ronaldo believes he is the greatest footballer to grace the game, insisting he has "never seen anyone better".
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, is now plying his trade in Saudi Arabia following hugely successful stints at Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus.
The Portugal captain turns 40 on February 5, and is the all-time leading goalscorer in history, having netted 923 times.
Ronaldo also holds the record for the most international goals, scoring 135 times for Portugal in 217 appearances.
And Ronaldo does not think any other player in history can match him.
"Honestly, I have never seen anyone better than me. I believe I am the most complete player to ever exist," said Ronaldo in an interview with La Sexta.
"I can do it all in football. I'm good with heading, I strike free-kicks well, I shoot well with my left foot, I'm fast, and I'm strong.
"Personal preferences vary; some prefer [Lionel] Messi, Pele, or [Diego] Maradona. I understand and respect that. But to say Cristiano isn't complete is a lie. I am the most complete.
