He has also won five Ballons d'Or, only behind Lionel Messi, who won eight.However, French journalist Bertrand Latour has snubbed him for his Top 3 players he will play the most money to watch. He picked Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr., and Karim Benzema for his list, and said on Aliotalk:"I see him more as a scoring machine, a little cold. I don’t have any crazy emotion seeing him play in reality. I obviously admire his entire career, his longevity, his talent, his strength of character, everything. It's incredible. But my honesty pushes me to say that Ronaldo is not one of the three for whom I pay the most. Messi, Neymar and Benzema 'prime', they are the ones I pay the most for."All four players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, are still active despite being in the twilight of their careers.Former Manchester United defender hails Cristiano Ronaldo as the GOATDanny Simpson believes Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest player of all time over Lionel Messi. The former Manchester United right-back highlighted how the Portugal captain has adapted to numerous different leagues and positions over the years.Simpson told GOAL:"That’s the best thing about Ronaldo, he adapts. He adapted at 18/19, he adapted at Real Madrid, he adapted Juve. He’s always adapting. He’s adapting now in Saudi, he’s adapted with Portugal. That’s why, for me, he is the best player in the world."I don’t think - no offence to Messi, he’s an unbelievable talent, but he’s never really had to adapt all these different parts of his game. Ronaldo, when he first came [to United], couldn’t head the ball! Now he’s probably the best header in the world - up there as a No.9. Honestly, it was a joy to be around him for a few years and see what he’s gone on to do."Cristiano Ronaldo has played in five different countries at the club level, while Lionel Messi has featured in three.
