“Pep Guardiola Praises Cristiano Ronaldo’s Unique Goalscoring Talent”

Pep Guardiola has always confirmed that Lionel Messi is the most complete footballer he has ever seen and also acknowledged that Erling Haaland was born with a gift for scoring goals. However, the Argentine genius and the Norwegian striker are not the only active players to whom he has dedicated special words. During his second stint at Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo received a very emotional description from the current Manchester City manager.

Indeed, although he always saw him as a rival, the Catalan tactician assured that the Portuguese ace’s goalscoring talent is so unique that he will never stop scoring goals. Even in retirement, Pep imagines the fivefold Ballon d’Or playing with his friends and scoring as long as possible:

“I think he will score goals all his life, (Cristiano Ronaldo) will be 75 and will be retired, but at a barbecue he will play a game and score goals.

What he has done for the past ten years in the world of football, scoring goals and goals wherever he has gone and helping his teams win, speaks for itself.”said the former FC Barcelona coach, as reported by the official Sky Sports News channel.

Besides, despite having already made the decision to step away from the top flight, Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi confirms Pep Guardiola’s words.

The 38-year-old has scored 12 goals in his first 12 appearances for Al Nassr in the Arab Premier League. If his physical qualities and his dribbling are more and more difficult to master, his goalscoring instinct is still intact.
