Controversial journalist Piers Morgan rubbishes the claims of Cristiano Ronaldo being finished in professional football
CR7 has been in scintillating lately, scoring match-winners in Portugal’s last two UEFA National League games. With that, Ronaldo became the first footballer in the world to reach the 900-goal benchmark in senior football. With the 91st-minute winning goal against Scotland, the all-time great has 901 goals in his account. In his latest video on his YouTube channel, UR Cristiano, Ronaldo claimed that he is aiming to complete 1000 goals in football. The 39-year-old’s current form makes no one doubt him reaching there.
Piers Morgan Rubbishes Ronaldo Is Finished Comments
After Ronaldo’s achievement, Mr. Morgan, who is also an admirer of the footballer for a long time, rubbished the media coverage that said ‘Ronaldo is finished’. He also borrowed Manchester United legend Roy Keane’s words that Cristiano Ronaldo is still one of the best finishes in front of the goal. Morgan was talking to the Talksport.
“The idea that anyone thinks after watching the last two Portugal games that Ronaldo is finished or that somehow he’s taken the easy gravy train in Saudi Arabia and therefore he can’t be taken seriously as a player. All this bullsh*t I’ve been hearing about it, like, come on, look at the guy as Roy Keane, who I think is one of the most perceptive eyes for footballers in the world.
“As he said this week, there is no better finisher than Cristiano Ronaldo still out there, as he’s shown. Last night he hit the post, then he scored. He had a disappointing Euros, but certainly Portugal did collectively. I don’t think he got the service he should have got. But the truth is Ronaldo remains one of the most lethal finishers in world football.”
