Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo has named the another Greatest of all time (GOAT) after him, as he snubbed his first rival Lionel Messi.
The 37-year old scored a hattrick to help the Red Devils claim all three points against Tottenham on Saturday night at Old Trafford.
That stunning performance made of Ronaldo the all-time top scorer in football history with 807 goals as he overtook Josef Bican’s record of 805 strikes.
After the game, Cristiano Ronaldo reacted : “Tremendously happy with my first hat-trick since I came back to Old Trafford!”, he wrote on Instagram.
“Nothing beats the feeling of being back on the pitch and help the team with goals and effort.

“We’ve proven once again that we can beat any team in any given day, as long as we work hard and stand together as one.
“There are no limits for Man. United! No matter what! Let’s go, Devils!”
Former American football quarterback Tom Brady also attended the game at Old Trafford on Tuesday and had a few minutes chat with Ronaldo after the game.
And he is the one CR7 considers as the other GOAT after himself : “Always a pleasure and a privilege to share some thoughts and ideas with another GOAT”, Ronaldo wrote on his Twitter account after meeting the former New England Patriots player.
