Former Real Madrid boss Fabio Capello has reignited the GOAT debate, claiming Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t belong in the same bracket as Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, or Ronaldo Nazario.
While praising CR7’s athleticism and scoring record, Capello argued the Portuguese star lacks the “pure genius” and innate creativity shared by the other three icons.
“He simply can’t be compared to them,” Capello noted, despite Ronaldo’s looming quest for 1,000 career goals.
