Very clearly posted
Die hard CR7 fan
Thanks for this....was really helpful
Best comment ever
bro this needs more likes!!!!!!!!!! tysm
A MAN WHO SAYS WHAT HE THINKS… NOTHING BUT RESPECT. RESPECT Great athlete, great mindset, great person.LEGEND.
haaland better
what a unbelievable human.....I would love this guy for everything he brought to us....God bless him
Amen
Legend - came from nothing - knows struggle of a common man and speaks truth and very clear in his thoughts - WHAT A MAN !! 😭
I read some news reporting at least 2 ex players of Man United criticizing the management. CR 7 is not alone.
correction not man a GOAT
exactly the fact that he knows how it feels and relates to the struggles of a common man is just amazing and gives an extra respect and credibility to him
Agreed. However it's important know that he uses steroids
Even from a Messi fan, this podcast shows the heart of a legend
A MAN WHO SAYS WHAT HE THINKS… NOTHING BUT RESPECT
nothing but a big ego
@pol pol irrelevant. Anyway most people who says that are only jelaous of what he became with hard-work and passion. He’s been on top of the word for years… and now he’s a living legend
@Piede a martello he's a narcissist who does not like any criticism. And that's not good. This year he's been playing badly and he refuses to see it
@polpol1005 bro this guy lost his newborn son and was in a terrible hole for his life and still he preformed for the fans
What about Andrew tate
As a Messi fan, ronaldo is so well spoken, humble, and honest. It's an honour listening to him speak. Piers also does an excellent job allowing him to speak and you can tell ronaldo trusted piers and used this opportunity to air his grievances. Great interview !
Not sure bout the humble part if you watch the whole interview.
@Lettuce I watched the whole thing, I don’t see the lack of humility?
@sj appiyah just pointing out a couple of things:
- When responding about Rooney he brought up his looks, how unnecessary and rude was that
- Claimed Ten Haag disrespected him, where is the proof of that? He felt insulted he's benched just because he's Ronaldo?
@Lettuce if someone is humble that does not mean they don’t know their worth ☺️ ronaldo is a great player and his team treated him like he wasn’t. such lack of respect from their side. ronaldo is a footballer who was committed to football game truly, thinking young players should respect old ones like he did and i guess he respected the same for him, but let alone that, they didn’t even respect him as a human i mean you can relate in that part, if you were mourning over your child + another sick child and someone didn’t believe you… well i mean you wouldn’t respect them either lol, you can write here all you want but when it’s real life i’m sure you’d do them much worse than ronaldo if it happened to you. the guy is world wide famous, no. 1 followed person in the world, do you expect him to let anyone treat him like he’s nothing? bffr, ronaldo’s influence is waaay beyond football and his part in football is also one of the best, person and player like that needs to be treated well
@Elma F still doesn't negate the fact that he said dumb things that a true professional shouldn't have said. Bringing up Rooney's looks? Also, Ten Haag did not disrespect Ronaldo, watch Ten Haag's interviews, you'd see he was defending Ronaldo until he just ran off after being subbed during the Tottenham game.
I grew up watching him perform on the biggest stages in football. Football is nothing without CR7❤️
I understand more and more why he did this interview. Seeing what’s happening over at PSG with how some of the players are being treated is a disgrace. I get his need to set the record straight. It’s hard to see great players being treated badly. I’m a Messi fan btw, but these guys deserve to be treated with respect.
The parts about the press were especially timely.
Glad I watched the entire interview, watch him speak his mind, great thoughts and he can give so much to the younger generation. Only if they let him do so.
RESPECT
Great athlete, great mindset, great person.
LEGEND
I see nothing wrong with this interview, a grown man airing his thoughts out with remorse and respect. He is a great guy with a great huge heart 👑
nobody is saying he not a nice guy but it was not right of him to do the interview. He plays for Manchester United and to be fair it was them who gave him his stage in the first place. He should have much more respect for the club even if he does not like the manager. And all he is really moaning about is not being named in the starting eleven. So many great players at Manchester United it should not be a guarantee that Ronaldo starts. He is undoubtedly one of the greatest players ever but he is a bit older now so if the manager wants to start with younger players like Marcus Rashford it should not be seen as disrespectful to Ronaldo. It has always been the way that older players no matter their greatness eventually become used less and less
@Jo Wade true - no questions on that episode from mr morgan
Exactly
Messi fan here. I never ever disrespected who this man is and this interview demonstrates why. Very respectful and professional.
What people just assume about Ronaldo is actually crap. This man's a legend. The glorius career he's had. The achievements he has to his name. Absolutely astonishing. My favorite player is Messi but needless to say I love this man too. The life , the struggle , the mindset. MINDBLOWING
Agreed. It's important to mention that he uses steroids.
@Chrysalisproof?
“I don’t follow the records, the records follow me”
- Cristiano Ronaldo
Messi:oh
I don't know how anyone can hate this man. CR7, your wins and performance already attest you're a legend and beyond coz you still have it (golden touch) when you play. CR7 fighting!!! ❤❤❤
You cr7 fans confuse hate with believing lio messi is a superior footballer. No hate on cr7
This guy is straightforward.The truth is people won't like or appreciate those who speak the truth.Huge respect❤
The fact that he felt more support and respect from rival fans than his own club is really telling
Just gonna keep copying and pasting this again?
I've read this comment more than I farted this entire month
Toxic MU fans as always
true 😢
Not really, it's very clear CR7 would and will say anything to gain favour and popularity!!
Watched this after the world cup and all I can say is this man here deserves respect. Viva CR7 🐐❤️
ronaldo will return to europe this year hopefully. he will be in wc 2026 (if he is in good form and good shape)
@Rajani Bharatiya take me to your dealer.
@rajanibharatiya5453 you still hoping he will win the WC?
Honestly He is a football icon. Despite the fact that I rank Messi above him, no one else is able to easily attain his level of the game. He is brilliant, he is respectful and reflective independence of mind. He is among the greatest. This interview had nothing wrong.
Thank God I took the time to watch this Interview
What a honest, straight forward man. Speaking his heart out.
I have watched this entire interview over 10 times now. Cristiano appeared more human than usual, was very honest. The authenticity he displays is palpable. He references members of his family, his oldest son in particular, multiple times. It also helps that Piers was finally not a totally dick for once.
damn right
He is a legend and I am glad that we have people like this that we can use as rolemodel for life blueprint.
He's a confident golden icon for boys who want something. Always inspires people the right way, sacrificed so much. Tells the younger generation to stay healthy and work hard, doesn't advertise for unhealthy profitable brands. And no wonder people and media target him, of course they get a lot of attention as soon as they use his name.
I love Cristiano Ronaldo, a self made man from Madeira who lives by what he preaches.
Respect. Always
The clubs he has been with have treated him very well by what i can tell. That includes Man U. He is basically unable to accept that at the age of 37 he is not guaranteed a place in the starting 11 and that he might be called upon as a substitute in the last 5 minutes. What an utter rich blessed arse. From Madeira
@marks marsh then why man utd sign him? You think the whole world still want to talk about before he rejoined? Thank you Ronaldo man utd is at top level
@marks marsh ManU let rumors run amok.
Respect ✊ always.
The most calm, honest, and down to earth I've ever seen. Talks all about respect! The story about him n MU are mind blowing to believe. What a great sportsman CR7!
What a beautiful interview and beautiful example of a father and family this man is. Have never been a huge fan but perhaps I owe it to the media who always portrayed him as an arrogant snobby guy, sadly. Thanks for posting and sharing it here.
He's an alienator. He stole his oldest son from his mother. She can't see him, talked him, etc. all because he didn't want to pay her child support.
This interview is legendary I love this man so much ❤❤❤❤❤ I feel so emotional right now 😢
No wonder why he's number one 👑❤️ he deserves all love abd respect!
Sometimes when you're utterly down, this interview and the person CR7 is, is a motivation. A human being just wanting to be a better person if not best?
Without hardwork, talent is nothing.
"Football has changed over the last 2 years and it's full of business now. The passion for the game is still there, but..!"- Ronaldo 😌 You are a legend and always will be. The hardwork you put in and the moments on the world stage is phenomenal.
Football is a business, if football not business man united cant get ronaldo
This aged well
@Asif Muhammed lmao
I very much appreciate this man's journey, especially in the way he deals with his life and work. I think I benefited from his dialogue.
I didn’t saw this interview before but when I saw his full interview I now really respect him. I really appreciated that he spoke his heart and as a football fan I really connected with his words, emotions!
I can now say that I respect him equally as Messi!
- A lionel Messi Fan
Nice
" You don't know if you cry or if you smile
.. "
A very tough moment in time indeed.
Good to see him in a better space nowadays with his new club, a fresh start
As a messi fan i have always, literally always had respect for Cristiano Ronaldo because of how far he has gotten and how he became one of the best of all time. Really respect this man and I agree with him, it is a waste of time paying attention to the hate comments. Really hope this man gets to have peace really really soon.
literally?
Absolutely love and adore Ronaldo! Terrible loss he went through losing their baby son💔🙏🏼
As a Messi fan, always had respect for this guy. Amazing insights on his life. 🙌🏻
@As Ym just cuz he has respect for Ronaldo doesn’t mean he can’t be a messi fan , that’s pretty dumb
Honestly as a Messi fan Ronaldo deserves as much respect it’s not easy being great.
Especially as it seems that he was willing to point out the problems of the club knowing he was going to get kicked out.
Yup. I have two sons: one loves Messi, the other loves CR7. They’re always arguing about who is best. I tell them to sit back and realize how lucky they are to be alive to watch Messi and Ronaldo play football.
Messi is the GOAT, but Ronaldo will always be a king of football. He is a legend and one of the best
Ja mu gratulujem je to na pohľad veľmi milý a príjemný chlapec aj celá rodinka držím im palce nech im to pokračuje aj na ďalej tak krásne 👍💯💕🍀♥️
Ďakujem 💕♥️
Congratulations on your successful career so far, Cristiano Ronaldo!

Where is the part where he talks about messi
@PWARAJ PINGH1:17:57
I didn't want this interview to end. When I started watching it earlier today I was wondering what could they really talk about for 90 mins! But it was sooooo interesting.
❤❤❤ from a dedicated Man U fan from Jamaica 🇯🇲
When he spoke about the death about his child you could see it was hard for him to gather words, Ronaldo is such a strong man god bless him and his family
Yes he even started with drinking water too 😊
@SummerSpice why a smiling emoji tho
(No offence)
CR7 should be stay at realmardid
To be asked the question 'how did it feel to lose a child' that's such a shit question! We know how he feels, he feels the same as anyone else would feel.......ask questions that I can't easily relate to!
I RESPECT HOW HE KNEW THIS WOULD LAND HIM IN HOT WATERS AND HE STILL SPOKE UP. SHOWS TRUE COURAGE AND A LOT OF PASSION.
that was the reason he has done it, everything was planned
@Mr To a certain agree yes, but he's got the guts to speak his mind whilst knowing this will get him into deep trouble. This is worth respecting in my opinion.
@Kevin Masters He could’ve gone about this a different way like he always has in the past.
Crazy what can happen in 30days and see him completely swallow his words.
@Mr I wonder if this was all part of his plan as I do agree it was rather abrupt.
I already respected Ronaldo for his character but this interview made me solidify that respect, a real man. Respect!
for me was the opposite, I lost some of the respect for him now
I don’t like football, I don’t understand football and I don’t really care what’s going on in the football world BUT I have a lot of respect for this dude. The fact that he’s 37 (I think) and STILL playing football…. Speaks volumes. We should let our kids listen to this interview it’s very inspiring and real-life interview.
Stay blessed beautiful ppl.
What a kind hearted man and open minded person. He is the football legend and the 🐐
Respect! Those words he said hit me hard! Young generation is living in a different Era. He is right, it is like we lost connection with them! We grew up with some values and they have totally different values from ours! This is if they actually have any to begin with! I hope the new generations can really stay humble, and preserve what humanity is here for! Which is respect and love, for elders, for those who have more experience, for those who don't have any, for everyone! Work for things! Don't take them for granted! Appreciate what you have...It was a strong message from this legend!
He knows what life is all about. A true realist and legend
😂😂😂
He’s made a joke out of himself by saying one thing and doing exactly opposite. He said it wasn’t about money but passion and so he didn’t join Saudi Arabian club.
1 month later: Ronaldo joins Al-Nassr.
What a hypocrite
@Mihir Joshi his passion hasn't died.
@Mihir Joshi it's not hyposcrisy, it's what you do when no other european club wants to sign or has the money to pay you. Idk about u but most people making fun of him are toxic messi fans and what they fail to realize is that personally these two guys never had any rivalry, two great players different with different style playing in the same decade = all the attention from the international press and it's the stupid debate among fans that fired up this debate in the first place. Their playing styles are incomparable to each other.
Except doesn’t know how to win world cup, my idolo
@Mihir Joshi Exactly. His passion for game is so high that even at this age instead of retiring he is playing for low tier league just beacause he loves the game
I have a TON of respect for Cristiano Ronaldo, he is a living example and motivation just like almost every other Athlete doing well for themselves. An interview like this can't be "wrong" I say this because this isn't the Quetionaire or investigative type of interview. This is more of A man coming out to air his experiences, recent tribulations and feeling. The questions here are just a mere guide on what points to speak on Next.
nah, it's him blaming others and defending his hurt ego
You, Cristiano, are ONE OF A KIND. There is none like you. You are a Legend. Your character says everything about you and you are a rare gem. You have been my role model ever since Manchester united and watching this interview reminded me of why I admire and respect you so much. You are AUTHENTIC in this world of fakes and carry yourself in an Outstanding way. That is why they are so filled with jealousy and envy. But that is also why the fans love you. Thank you for most of all Keeping your morals intact because it is because of that that you are who you are - 👑🐐. God Bless you, protect you and keep you and your family, always.
When he said "I don't follow records, they follow me" 😏👑
@JeLece Khan 777 lol look at Messi he has more records than Ronaldo
@JeLece Khan 777 can you tell the records that Ronaldo has except the UCL
@what Fatherless pessi fan riding pessi crazy!!!
what morals? did you even listen to his words?
Wow I can’t believe I’ve watched this interview before and now am watching it again I can clearly get some points I missed in this video… he literally said new coaches that came in thought they’ve found the last Coca Cola in the desert… How deep damn this guy 🥶
I am not a football fan. But I love the way you act towards your goals, the way you take care of your family. No matter what position you are in, for me you are still the player I admire the most.
A really great insight into the life and experience of an elite professional footballer. We are privileged to have watched a blessed footballer, in our lifetime 🙏
He really speaks everything up straight and perfectly. pity those who just watched the clips of interviews. the full interview tells the whole story.
You are 100 percent spot on... I left all I was doing for 1hr 31 minutes to watch this wonderful interview.
People always judge based on sound bites these days… it’s a messed up world
This guy is realist and he prove once again his higher level
Man w/ few words but so down to earth kind of a person ... love him 😘
I love and respect his sincerity and the fact that he is being straightforward
I littiarly cried after watching this interview his words that we are in his heart ♥ love you Cristiano and your game play
Aaah women are so emotional.
@Hammad Khan 🤣🤣🤣🤣
En Nesyriiii.. poof dream gone 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cristiano is such a true legend and he handle so many problem at this moment that people spread hate to him for attention and he do everything in football ❣️
😂
I'm a Messi fan but huge huge respect for sir Cristiano Ronaldo, messi and Ronaldo both are goats of the game . Lot's of love from India ❣️
I've always been on the Messi side of the "G.O.A.T." debate. That being said, this interview gave me a TON of respect for Ronaldo. He is simply saying what he experienced and how he feels. A person can never be "wrong" for what they feel. Just because you may not feel the same, doesn't mean it's "wrong."
He's just speaking facts, if Man United fans are angry about this interview they don't want to see their club exceed. Put some respect on one of the greatest ever !
He is the G.O.A.T. and football is not always bigger than the players that allow it, in part, to exist. In English football there is great weight on players to never speak badly about obvious problems with the individuals that make up the corporate league, team owners and the media. We are now in a time with fan channels having a larger number of viewers than main stream sports channels. And us fans want to hear all of it. The good and the dirt. And that is a bug up their arses as well as for their sponsors. The large and well funded main stream narrative creators hate the small content creators.
GREAT INTERVIW WITH A GREAT MAN ❤ THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU
The passion this guy has for football is remarkable and makes your question what you invest your life into. He keeps talking about diet, mentality, health, good relationships, investment of time, adaptability and so much more... All this for him to keep up with his passion for football.
Inspirational indeed.
He has also surrounded himself with an incredible support system throughout and always puts family first
All out for himself the interview is litterally proof
and what a role model for the youngsters. He is polite, has lovely manners and acknowledges his young fans. Wonderful human being.
@Fifer McGee role model kicking off anytime anything doesn't go his way. Example stomping off spittinh dummy out when he's being subbed 🙄
@Fifer McGee walking off the tunnel because you are a bench warmer, throwing your captain armband everytime your goal is offside. All this sounds rather childish. So, he will surely inspire children lmfao
I love you Cristiano Ronaldo. You're a big inspired to me, brave, never look back and never give up
Personally, this is arguably one of the best interview I've seen in years of existence. GOAT debate aside, he has shown over the years why he is a worthy example of a true professional.
I love CR7
God bless Pierce Morgan, I sincerely love his interviews, clear, outright, focused, uncensored…God bless him.
Right now, It’s hard for me not to believe the English press weren’t involved as stated by Cristiano. I’ve always been in doubt when people say there’s a conspiracy on them propagated by the media. It’s now clear. God bless CR7.
I've finally got around to watching the interview and all I can say is Thank You for this interview.
Exposing the club at the top on how its been run has ultimately caused the owners to what it looks like finally sell the club.
Hopefully with the right owners, the infrastructure of the club can be massively improved and the general running of hlthe club will hopefully improve too 👏🏽
Dignity, composure, confidence, honesty, and a kind heart
Great interview
kinda full of himself
@pol pol just like yourself
@Sasuke There's nothing wrong with being "full of oneself", the thing is that the second you don't "perform", people treat you the same way as you treat them. It's an eventuality.
Secondly, how in the world do you not physically go and see what state the club is in before signing a contract? All the money in the world and you cannot spend 3 days?
@Sasuke not really
This guy is intelligent, humble and so respective
Just seeing this interview and it’s one for the books ❤ Love CR7
He had every right to say the world his side of the story, when Ten Hag had been lowering him to a bench warmer, and the whole media was scrutinising and speculating every breath of CR7. The man's greatest armor was his mind. And once in 20 years, his mental space was shattered with a tragedy, the intensity of which none of us could imagine. And one after the other everyone wanted to see this man fall.
Time never stop, Ronaldo's passion for football never stop, my love for him will never stop. I'm 35 and he is 37 , he will be playing untill the mother nature stop him and i will be his fan till my last breath 😍😍😍
Ah man, Piers is such a master at his job. Great interview!
Much respect to this man. Signed by a Barcelona and Messi fan. Your legacy and impact on the game cannot be argued.
Traitor. U pick either messi or ronaldo.which one??
@Gedgj Oumk Messi is the GOAT in my opinion - has always been. Doesn’t mean I can’t acknowledge Ronaldo’s legacy. Also, tone it down with the “traitor” talk buddy.
@Floyd Smith damn right messi is the one and only. Ronaldo don't come close to messis skill. Messi has world cup!!! This guy doesn't!!
As a messi fan i respect this man a lot....LEGEND 💯
We all make mistakes and he's redeemed himself very well indeed
This man is really an inspiration.♥️
After watching this interview, I would really like Ronaldo to come back and perhaps give the last shot to winning the world cup. What a gentleman he is.
'I don't follow records. Records follow me.'
#GOAT
#Ronaldo
The media is full of shit for putting this guy on blast! When all he did was just speak the truth of his experience ! Much respect to him
Its not guaranteed that he has to start ...It was a toxic relationship man city had plans for him he can play 20 minutes and make a mark but he wants to start🤣🤣🤣
Simple yet Sublime! Legend. G.O.A.T. ❤️
Remember if the Glazers sell we have this man to thank. He did more for the fans with this interview then they've done in their entire tenure
I liked to being fan of such a Hardworking man ❤❤❤
I forever love ronaldo, i relate to his story and i like the fact that he isnt scared to say what he has to say.
Huge respect and admiration, for both
What a stellar guy!!
He carries himself with so much dignity and integrity.
I’m very impressed
too big ego tho
So much dignity spat his dummy out, for being a sub, sounds more embarrassing. Integrity 🤣 imagine if everyone behaved in that fasion football wouldnt be a sport. Fact hes score 1 goal with 0 assists whole season and where almost half way through. When younger hungrier players have more then 10x more 😅🤣
@pol pol ego? What part lol
@Mythic every part, lmaoo can't u see it??
@pol pol They're ALL like that, that's exactly why he made it that far. It's in ALL sports, man.
I think regardless of whos at fault in these situations its a pity that the team suffers because of personal issues. Nobody is more important then the team!!
I am a cr7 fan none of the clubs he has played for but the man himself. He is human like all the rest of us. He just happens to be the greatest player in the world. All respect to him
The smile on his face when he said that imagine you are in the World Cup Final 😭❤️
As a Messi fan I respect him so much for this interview
He appreciated thevtime when he had problems as it opened his eyes to see who is by his side and who isnt❤
A great professional who aired his honest opinion. He didn’t deserve the treatment that the coach and the club gave him. As a Man Utd fan, disappointed in how they treated him. Thank you for your service CR7
Yes he is, He is a Great Person/Sport, i do like him very much
i am a Liverpool Fan, Walk on with hope in your heart Cristiano, YNWA, God Bless You Richly
Last season he had 137mins per goal, 16% conversion rate. This season it is 520 mins per goal, 4% conversion rate.
his performance is 1/4th from last season!
Team won't be built around a soon to be 38 yr old!
I'd forgotten about CR7. I remember my son who's surname was Crouchman having CR7 on his mercurial and feeling so prime 😌
Try talking shit to your boss, tell me what happens next
Respect for CR7, hope everyone gets to know him better..., The true GOAT forever..🙌
great person and professional person is an example for everyone on this planet, that family is number one, he values his family which has been the foundation of his success, on the other hand people only criticize him even his former colleagues, their words are just rubbish, InsyaAllah people who understands the importance of a family Will loves you King Ronaldo, siuu 7 ❤️❤️
I love this guy. He’s so handsome, smart. Love the way he plays, dress a family guy. God bless him and his family
I am not gonna lie, I became a fan of him after FIFA. Ans now I have watched so many things of him. Not only Football but his personality is a top tier 🙌🏻
RESPECT!! 💫
I love both messi and ronaldo both are GOAT for me. People use to debate saying Messi is better than Ronaldo or Ronaldo is better than Messi but they both have a great career. This type of personality can't be compared to anyone. They are so humble, they are so down to earth, their positive attitude and positive thinking and their mentality is on another level. They are the top level footballers but they are also top level at everything. Just I like them both and I will like them because for me there is no other footballer that can be compared to them. This much respect is very less for both of them. And I just have a dream to meet Ronaldo and Messi once. May my dream be fulfilled one day. Love you both♥️♥️💗💗💓💓 Cristiano and Messi are real life Super heroes in football...😊😊
I've spent 1 hour and 30 minutes waiting for some giant bombshell. Never came. What I saw was class and dignity from a true champion. He was truthful and sincere. He clearly deserves respect, on and off the field. Now I see why my sons have been HUGE Ronaldo fans since they were teens. Their dream has always been to meet him and see him play. Now I understand why. Doesn't matter where he plays, he'll always have super fans in our family.
What about when he said it was an insult to come on for 3 minutes against spurs? Who does he think he is? Big diddy, needs to get over himself and man up
Ur sons love Ronaldo because of his status in the game not how he is as a person
Ronaldo is bigger than man utd,man utd doesn’t deserve him how can you criticize a man he help the club throughout last season,the players weren’t in form he was the only player who carry the club along throughout last season and if not for his goals man utd won’t be playing Europa cup,he’s bigger than the club and the coach in terms of everything
@Michael Stephen No he's not. No player is bigger than the club, ever. Ronaldo became a great at Manchester United, through his own hard work and tenacity, but also through the stewardship of Sir Alex Ferguson. Ronaldo has spat on the legacy of SAF by purposefully undermining United's current manager.
He is a legend of football, but if you can't see he's acting like a spoilt brat who can't accept he no longer has the pace to play at the top level, you're incredibly deluded.
This is from someone who's watched every match he's played since rejoining Man U. Something I doubt most of his deluded fanboys have done.
@Michael Stephen The problem is the coach himself he is rigorous for nothing it is like he have executive powers
