“Ronaldo Is The Greatest Of All Time” – Al Somah Declares Amidst Endless GOAT Debate

The football world is once again buzzing with the never-ending GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) debate, and this time, it's Omar Al Somah, the prolific Al-Orobah forward, who has firmly placed his stake in the ground. According to the Syrian striker, Cristiano Ronaldo is not only the best player in the world right now but also the greatest footballer in history.

In an interview with the Saudi Pro League, Al Somah lauded the Portuguese icon's longevity, versatility, and unparalleled achievements. For him, there’s no debate. Ronaldo’s incredible performance at age 40, where he continues to score goals that even much younger players can only dream of, sets him apart from the rest.

“Ronaldo, for me, is the best player in the world, and in the history of football,” Al Somah passionately stated.
“What he achieved in football is incredible. Even today, he is 40 years-old but he’s still performing at a top level and scoring goals that 20-year-olds can’t score.”

His words were not only aimed at the endless Ronaldo vs. Messi discussion but also at those who dare to question Ronaldo’s legendary status. With all due respect to Pele, Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi, and Zinedine Zidane, Al Somah believes Ronaldo’s completeness as a forward makes him superior.

The Case for Cristiano Ronaldo

It’s hard to argue against Ronaldo’s achievements. The man has dominated European football, achieved international success with Portugal, and is now making waves in the Saudi Pro League, where he currently leads the scoring charts with 18 goals in 23 games.

Ronaldo’s legendary status is built on more than just raw talent. His dedication to fitness, tactical awareness, and the ability to adapt to various leagues and styles of play have earned him admiration from players and fans worldwide. And while his confidence sometimes comes off as arrogance, there’s no denying that he has earned the right to be confident.

But What About Messi?

Of course, Al Somah’s comments won’t sit well with fans of Lionel Messi, who just recently clinched the 2022 World Cup title, cementing his own legacy as arguably the most talented footballer to ever grace the field. Messi’s magical playmaking ability, consistency, and his record-breaking career in Europe and now the MLS speak for themselves.

However, Al Somah’s perspective emphasizes a critical factor: longevity. While Messi continues to shine, the fact that Ronaldo is still performing at the top level despite his age adds weight to the argument of greatness.

Is Al Somah Right?

The debate between Ronaldo and Messi is never-ending, and perhaps it’s supposed to be that way. Both legends have pushed each other to greater heights, giving football fans an era of brilliance like never before.

But as Al Somah said, “Some people might not like this opinion, but for me, he is the greatest footballer of all time.” It’s a personal view, but one that many others share.

What’s Your Take?

Do you agree with Omar Al Somah’s declaration that Ronaldo is the greatest footballer of all time? Or do you think Messi’s skill and creativity outshine Ronaldo’s longevity and power? Let’s hear your thoughts!
