00:00Five World Cups to score is absolutely incredible, but he wants these records, the reason he's
00:15carried on playing is for these records, is why I think while Messi is continuing in the
00:19Champions League, while Messi is continuing for Argentina, I think Cristiano carries on
00:23as well.
00:24I think he laps up, I think they keep going.
00:37He's one of the greatest players that's graced the game in an era where we had himself and
00:44Messi.
00:45The comparison doesn't matter, they're just both incredible players in football's history.
00:51So to be going and look as physically good as he looks, to keep scoring goals as he's
00:55done, the numbers that he's racked up have just become normal, abnormal numbers that
00:59become normal year after year.
01:11Cristiano is the first player in world football to get 200 caps, so that's an achievement
01:17that he reflects on Cristiano's commitment, the way he looks at himself towards the game,
01:23and he deserves that.
01:25It's so difficult to play games at international level, the competition for places is always
01:32huge and Cristiano's been 20 years now for Portuguese football, been an iconic figure.
01:48At the moment, there are two players that make a difference, Bellingham and Mbappé.
01:56We're waiting for Cristiano Ronaldo when he returns from Arabia.
02:03These are the players that make a difference.
