Cristiano Ronaldo

"I think that because I am rich, handsome and a great player people are envious of me. I don’t have any other explanation."

"Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii"

"In my mind, I'm always the best. I don't care what people think, what they say. In my mind, not just this year but always, I'm always the best."

"It bothers me when it's said that Madrid is struggling because Cristiano is struggling. It feels like you are after me. If everyone was at my level, perhaps we would be in first place."

"I don’t see anyone better than me. No player does things that I cannot do myself, but I see things others can’t do. There’s no more complete player than me. I’m the best player in history — in the good and the bad moments."

"We don't want to tell our dreams. We want to show them."

"He [Ronaldo] was up against John O'Shea. Sheasy ended up seeing the doctor at half time because he was actually having dizzy spells."

"...absolute precision from the Dark Invader...this one is a death-ray hit from Real Madrid's glamour boy..."

"he's a gift from heaven isn't he? he is truly a gift from heaven, whatever he touches turns to gold."

"He's six-foot two, brave as a lion, strong as an ox and quick as lightning. If he was good looking, you'd say he has everything."

"The kid makes you sick. He looks the part, he walks the part, he is the part. He's six-foot something, fit as a flea, good-looking - he's got to have something wrong with him....Hopefully he's hung like a hamster! That would make us all feel better!"

"There have been a few players described as the new George Best over the years, but this is the first time it's been a compliment to me.""

"For me, he is an exceptional player."

"It's a great honor for Madeira to have a young man like Cristiano Ronaldo and a great honor for the regional government to welcome Madeira's most famous man.”"

"In the time I've been playing with Ronnie, the one thing I've noticed about him is that he can't walk past his reflection without admiring it, even if we're about to play a game of football."

"Ronaldo is better than George Best and Denis Law, who were two brilliant and great players in the history of United."

"Ronaldo is not protected by anybody or because of anybody. Rivals see the body of an animal and they kick him. Bang! Bang! To get a yellow card they need to do that a lot. Bang! Another, no [yellow card]. A foul and then the first yellow, but they can’t touch him after that because it would be a red."

"For me he is the best player in the world. A machine. Incomparable."
