00:03 Five World Cups to score is absolutely incredible.
00:13 But he wants these records.
00:15 The reason he's carried on playing is for these records.
00:17 It's why I think while Messi is continuing in the Champions
00:19 League, while Messi is continuing for Argentina,
00:22 I think Cristiano carries on as well.
00:24 I don't think he lets up.
00:25 I think they keep going.

00:33 He's one of the greatest players that's
00:40 graced the game in an era where we had himself and Messi.
00:45 The comparison doesn't matter.
00:46 They're just both incredible players in football's history.
00:51 So to be going and look as physically good as he looks,
00:54 to keep scoring goals as he's done,
00:56 the numbers he racked up that just all become normal,
00:58 abnormal numbers that become normal year after year.

01:04 And Cristiano's the first player in world football
01:15 to get 200 caps.
01:16 So that's an achievement that he reflects
01:19 on Cristiano's commitment, the way he looks at himself
01:22 towards the game.
01:24 And he deserves that.
01:26 It's so difficult to play games at international level.
01:30 The competition for places is always huge.
01:32 And Cristiano's been 20 years now for Portuguese football,
01:36 been an iconic figure.
