Antonio Cassano tackles Cristiano Ronaldo once again
The former nugget of the Squadra Azzura, Antonio Cassano, once again took a dig at Cristiano Ronaldo during a discussion on the international retirement of Antoine Griezmann.
In the 90s and 2000s, Italy was full of offensive talentand among stars like Francesco Totti, Alessandro Del Piero or Pippo Inzaghi, Antonio Cassano was considered one of the most promising. Endowed with immense talent, he played for prestigious clubs like AS Roma, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Inter Milanbut never quite managed to reach its full potential. Now aged 42 and retired, Cassano spends his time discussing football in podcasts, often in the company of former football stars.
Among his favorite subjects, Cassano often likes to attack Cristiano Ronaldo. On several occasions, he criticized the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, going so far as to consider himself more talented than him. Recently, while the debate focused on Antoine Griezmann’s retirement, Cassano praised the Frenchman for his choice to leave at the right timet, unlike certain players in their forties who, according to him, continue to play despite a decline, thus handicapping their teams. A remark that was clearly aimed at Ronaldo.
“It’s a very big gesture from him who is a player who is anything but selfishbecause today we still see players who are 40/45 years old and who want to score against San Martinese.“

Antonio Cassado Cristiano Ronaldo’s jaloux?
Even though Antonio Cassano was a very talented player, he has never left such a lasting mark as Cristiano Ronaldo. Curiously, both players went to the same club, Real Madridbut with opposite trajectories. While Cassano is considered a flop during his visit to Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo etched his name in the club’s history, becoming one of its greatest legends.
Antonio Cassano’s criticism of Cristiano Ronaldo is recurring. The Italian does not hesitate to throw barbs at the Portugueseoften placed at the center of Cassano’s debates. For the former playerthe “real” Ronaldo is the Brazilian, Il Fenomenowhich he considers to be the greatest. Cassano remains faithful to this opinion, despite the impressive record of the five-time Ballon d’Or.
